Perhaps, all EH line trains run via the airport (all stopping at Wolli
Creek) giving 4 trains per hour that way. 4 trains per hour start from
Turrella, giving a 7/8 minute frequency through the airport.

There would be 8 trains per hour around the City Inner, with 4 of them going
to Ashfield to terminate (all stations) - these would be the trains which
commence at Turrella.

Of the remaining 4 trains, 2 to Campbelltown via Granville, one to Bankstown
(Central, Redfern, Ashfield, all stations), the other to Liverpool via
Regents Park (same as Bankstown).

Of course, I do not have access to information regarding the number of
trains available, the number of crews available, and any such planned
timetable would have to be worked out on the basis of interaction with other
lines. The timetables of those other lines would have a bearing on the
number of trains available as well as the overall crewing situation.

But that is how I would plan it.
