It would have been Victorian Railways in the 1950's, 60's 70's and 80's.
When using it with The Overland, Southern Aurora and Vinelander, vehicle dimensions were important - including anything on the roof of the vehicle. With the large number of SUV's and vans operating today, I am not sure how many would be able to use the service if it still existed.
