The real situation is that buses run from Hornsby to Eastwood where
they return back to Hornsby.

Trains run from the City to Epping where they terminate and return to
the City.

There is an overlap between Eastwood and Epping where both trains and
buses run and both carry passengers.  Notices state Epping on the Down
and Eastwood on the Up as interchange points I guess to try to keep
passenger congestion down at the stations but it's certainly not
enforced.
