I think there are a number of lines where CityRail give the the "go away, we
don't want you" message.  Among the others are:
 Blacktown - Richmond
 Hornsby - Berowra
 Clyde - Carlingford
I also suspect the Main North (Strathfield - Hornsby) is another.  Can you
believe that such a major line still only has a 30 minute off peak
frequency?

The real test will be during the Olympics - the lines CityRail doesn't give
a stuff about will probably lose their train service.
