But there is no indication that the extra capacity on these services will be
needed. Looking at the accommodation situation, and advance bookings, as
released by the agents handling this, there are not a lot of people staying
in the Southern highlands. There are some, but there are not a lot. $ car
Endeavours will be an overkill, and unless I am mistaken about the crews
qualifications, the crews released by the reduced services will not be much
help with the extra trains that will be operating around Sydney.
