 Gday, this is one of my personal hates too and I have to comment. There is
no reason why Liverpool via Regents Park has to go all stations. I cannot
stand driving to Liverpool via Regents Park stopping at every little stop
under the sun. Im sick and tired of all the shittiest stations on earth,
getting the best service of any line whatsoever and it is NOT NEEDED. I have
thought for a long time that the only trains stopping all stations between
Redfern and Strathfield should ONLY be Bankstown trains. I believe Liverpool,
Glenfield and Cambelltown trains via Bankstown AND Regents Park should ALL be
skip stoppers, stopping at something like, All to lidcombe, Strathfield,
Ashfield, Redfern etc. As for Glenfield, Liverpool and Cambelltown via
Bankstown, they should stop from Liverpool onwards, stop All to Campsie,
Sydenham, Redfern etc.	We DO NOT need this excessive all stations bullshit
everywhere we go. -- CityRail driver, and big fan of HO and 5", 71/4" guage
