		Wodonga has peculiar problems in that there is a large number of quite busy level crossings closely spaced through the city centre.
		The sg line passes within 20 metres of the platform yet is unable to service it, limiting northbound journey opportunities to reaching Albury only (but with a half decent onward XPT connection in the morning).
		Wodonga is a large country town and the line is a through track and doesn't have the patronage that Newcastle has.
