          No, there are lots of abbreviations.  Martin Place just have the full word
          run off the screen, such as "North Wollongo" and "Port Kembla Nor" for one
          of the peak Port Kembla trains

SPI indicators also do not know how to scroll the destination if it gets too long: many places like
Burwood and Parramatta simply have "North Sydney via Tow" and "Hornsby via Town Hal".
annoyed me was that they had to read "Town Hall" instead of "Shore" or "City".

          East Hills!
          Maybe Campbelltown via East Hills?
