In the CityRail timetable (as amended) SP15 runs as tabled for SL15 to Moss
Vale, then picks up 8 minutes to Joppa Junction pass 11.22 am.  SP16 passes
Joppa Junction 2.20 (4 minutes later than SL16).  At some time in the
future, these trains might be combined with Canberra services between Sydney
and Goulburn.
