But then you would have to start wondering how many of the passengers using
Tempe were using it as an origin/destination, or merely as an interchange.
For those using it as an interchange, Wolli Creek will replace it. For those
using it as an origin/destination, Wolli Creek *may* be a better option,
depending on where they were going to/from.

Anyways, we have not seen the Sillywarra timetables yet, so there may be a
few extra services with Tempe stops to make up for it.
