What is this talkgroup for? There are 10 of them on my list (GL 1 to GL10)
What's GL stand for?
For this event it was being used to get people onto buses or trains around the CBD.They seemed to have people positioned at every station.

Thanks, John.

GL is Government Liaison

They are liaison talkgroups that all government agencies have access to, as opposed to Emergency Services liaison talkgroups which are ESO only (although the definition of an "Emergency Service" seems to have been stretched quite a bit).

In other words, in the case over the weekend it was a mix of Ambulance NSW, Ministry of Transport, RMS Events, RMS Bus Marshalls just on that channel. As they all have that channel in their radios.
