Re: [NSW] Turnarounds

["Chris Downs" <cvdowns@ozemail.com.au>]

The 5:41pm arrival at Emu Plains platform 1 (ex city) often manages a very
quick turnaround with the aid of a relay driver.  I've left this train on
arrival via the lead door and immediately crossed the overbridge to platform
2 and the train has commenced its run to Penrith yard before I've reached
the bottom of the steps.  No more than 30 sec turnaround.
