Re: [NSW Heavy rail] - Some oddities

["Chris Downs" <cvdowns@ozemail.com.au>]

Long before being detrained at Bull's Camp on Tuesday night I caught the
1740 ex Bexley North to City Circle via Airport & Museum service.

First point of interest was that this train was transposed for the 1803
Eveleigh to Penrith service via the City Circle Outer.  First time I've ever
caught a train direct from Bexley North to Blacktown.

Secondly the indicator at St James (platform 1) was showing first stop
Milsons Point then Wynyard, Town Hall, Central etc.  The voice announcement
correctly gave the first stopping station as Circular Quay.
