Hubert Lam ran out of opinions and quoted someone else from "Australian

If the City Outer is blocked at Circular Quay, most trains will be diverted
to the City Inner.  The options for Airport trains are
i    terminate at the crossover at the Museum end of Central (as is done
every weekend)
ii    run them via the City Inner, then express to Turrella to reverse to
the Airport.  This pattern was considered briefly during last Wednesday's
hold-up.

If the City Inner is blocked at Circular Quay, most trains will be diverted
to the City Outer.  The options for Airport trains are
i    terminate at the crossover at the Museum end of Central (considerably
easier when nothing else is on the City Inner)
ii    run them out normally via the City Outer to East Hills, then back to
Central via Sydenham.  Note that these trains could not terminate at
Turrella as there is no connection from the dead end or the down platform to
the up EH line to Tempe.
