Apart from the use of platform 9 by the trains terminating at platform 10
from the city and then returning to the city via the Up Illawarra, 3801
Limited has used it on Thursdays for the last three School Holiday periods
to commence and return its Berry [South Coast Daylight] service. The train
is shunted directly to platform 9 from Eveleigh and returns the same way.
