Re: [NSW] Strange rails at Hurstville

To avoid people getting "smooshed" if the train happened to derail at
Hurstville. You will see these on all platforms at Hurstville i think, and
they will be on some of the bridges that Cityrail uses.

It also might stabalise the train when people are alighting/getting on.
