    QantasLink drop MEL-ABX and MEL-WGA from March

    The Sydney-Melbourne XPT trains that serve Albury and Wagga Wagga can be unreliable - on some recent hot days (such as 43-45 degrees forecast at Wagga Wagga/Junee), road coaches have operated in lieu, or occasionally the train from Sydney terminates in Albury if very late due to heat speed...
