          While they were updating, they should have had a closer look at the extra
          stations now with disbled access.  Lidcombe is listed (which only recently
          received access), yet St Leonards has been slated for a while as having
          lifts installed.

          I bet the new station signs will display Sydney Central

When do they go in? After the "Central Station upgrade" which is many months late? Or will they put
it in before the station's upgrading is complete?

Strathfield's new signage is all in place. The next phase I feel will be the removal of the
concourse rolling-type indicators and the installation of plasma screens.

          actually said "Sydney Central" (Epping says "Sydney Central"

          Olympic Park says Sydney Central too, but only on some selected trips.
          Maybe once the station is upgraded, all DVA's will broadcast this.
          
But now the new maps in timetables go back to "Central", so what's the point of changing all the
time? I feel there is a lack of coordination (and training for guards too--for saying "Central" not
"Sydney Central", but every right-minded person knows it's Central)
