Hubert, I think I am confused already in the Main Northern Line as well as
Western Line!!! In the Main Northern Line from (Strathfield to Hornsby) am I
right to say that N means that the track that intercity and (express) normal
trains use? While the NS means slower (local) suburbans use (to be overtaken
by intercity services)? I think your description of the running on the Main
Northern Line is opposite to mine?

In the Western Line, M (Main) becomes WS (West Suburban) and S (Suburban)
becomes WM (West Main) vise-versa at Granville which I don't understand why
the change of line name in the same track (even though they have a flyover
between Parramatta and Westmead that converts the up-down-up-down to
up-up-down-down running vise-versa)? Any ideas?

Cheers.
