I reckon your answers to questions 12 and 15 need review?
I think we need to go upstairs for a review of each.

17 might be questionable as well in that case, trading name vs company name, etc

Thanks for the feedback.
I have amended question 15 to reflect the fact that the line from Burnie did not extend as far as Zeehan in 1998, but to Melba Flats.
Regarding Question 17, whether it is as trading name or company name, there is only one of the four answers that is correct.
Rowallan, in what respect do Questions 12 and 15 need review?

Regarding question 12 and the only way to answer is to give the answer. It was actually ANR, Australian National Railways then AN and finally AN Tasrail before it was sold.

I had the impression that the business name Tasrail was used from 1978 but checking has revealed that this name was not used until 1985-86.
Question 12 has now been amended to correct this.
