0630 is not that early for full trains when a 0630 departure ex Wollongong
means getting into Sydney around 0800. Not everyone starts work at 0900 you
know at Central station!

I'm sure that the Wollongong/South Coast people will tell you how long it
takes to drive to Sydney in peak hour via the F6, especially on one of those
foggy days. AFAIK, there are no bus services Wollongong - Sydney and ISTR
people down there saying that bus services serving the local area is pretty
bad.
