IIRC the last mixed train in NSW ran in 1982, by which time I suspect
most of them ran with an empty passenger carriage. Closely related were
the "goods trains with passenger accommodation" i.e. the brake van had
a couple of passenger compartments.

Anyone know when and where the last "mixed" ran in the UK? Presumably
it was on one of the light lines, like The Mound-Dornoch?
