		In 1974 Victorian Railways was rebranded as VicRail.

	ALOR - OnTarget Vol.17 - No.10
		It is stale, and its star has been setting, particularly since the State election of 1979, which it survived by the skin of its teeth.
		The Hamer Government's quite incredible option to bail itself out of the VicRail mess by abandoning metropolitan rail services on weeknights and on Sundays is highly indicative of a government, which is losing its grip on reality.
		The Herald (Melbourne) March 12th, editorialised thus: "One of the options being considered by the State Government and VicRail to ease the burden of the railways' financial losses is to scrap weeknight and Sunday suburban services.
