Re: [TramsDownUnder] Re: G class order and internal view

The hiring and training of said staff will take months too. If the the
first G is due in say 6 months, they have to start the hiring process
for the new depot now. Some may transfer in from other depots and not
need so much training, many others may need to spend a week or two down
at Dandenong being trained in G class maintenance processes by Alstom
even before the first car is transferred to Maidstone.
