[NSW] First weekday of May 21 timetable -- observations

[Hubert Lam <hubert@imap4.com>]

* Even though every timetable has trains running from Central to Redfern in 1 minute after departing
(impossible) and hence arriving Burwood 1 minute early, the SPI indicators at Burwood still state
the old times (in previous issues of timetables).

* Up trains in the morning were OK. Mostly arrived spot on time. The 3rd Epping to City train was
somewhat crowded having itself turned into a 4 car T set instead of an R set today

* Run 130 (or what it may be called now!), the "guaranteed chopper run" today was done by a sector 3
R set, meaning the end to the sector-2 borrowing business.

* Trains in the afternoon were "running late and out of timetabled order". My usual 3.16pm UP Main
North ex Honrsby was transposed to run all to Epping then Strathfield then the usual stopping
pattern. Many people (students from Cheltenham Girls, many of our own school, many from Honrsby and
James Ruse) were then stranded at Epping waiting for the next all stations train. Large crowds at
Strathfield platform 6.
