[NSW] Airport Line -- WINNERS AND LOSERS?

["Hubert Lam" <hubert@imap4.com>]

Winners:

Nobody really, the whole of the East Hills line is thrown into disarray now with the irregular
timing of the trains. Currently the arrangement makes the timetable easy to remember (i.e. regular
15/30 min services from East Hills/Macarthur respectively in the off peak).

However times slightly outside the peak times (late morning, mid afternoon) Macarthur, Campbelltown
gains an extra train or two.

In terms of frequent service, the new section of the line ("New Southern Railway) wins out clearly.
The City Circle and Ashfield also benefits from the addition of the Turella/Wolli Creek to City
shuttles.

The Big Losers:

Kingsgrove, losing the Macarthur fast trains
Turella, losing many ex East Hills all stops trains in the peak, and in the off peak, service
frequency reduced to a half of what it is now (30 min frequency)
Sydenham/Tempe, losing 4 trains an hour from the current off peak timetable
