Ann: AGM MD Address and slides, page-5

This video showing a Perth to Melbourne intermodal from a standing start at Gheringhap (near Geelong, Victoria) features 12 LAU railable containers among the 90 wagons. It was shot in July 2022, so current FY.

Competitor Toll has commented that retailers are ordering less, implying some are overstocked. Perhaps 'Black Friday' sales will help to clear excess inventory.

Given the Melbourne to Adelaide line was closed for 7.5 days until Monday evening 21 November 2022, the line has become busy since, buttressed by how the Sydney - Adelaide line is closed due to Condobolin floodwaters, with more expected until mid December 2022, meaning repairs cannot commence until the damage is assessed upon waters receding.

In this direction, some (or many)of the LAU refrigerated containers may be empty as there's more freight carried from Melbourne to Perth westbound than eastbound. If you can see the equipment panel on the end of the container but it isn't displaying a small green light, that can be a clue that the container is devoid of any freight.
