Re: Paralympics today (Transport that is)

["Paul Jones" <Zifnab@goconnect.net>]

Today i caught a V-set from seven hills to olp, and much to my suprise and
dismay, it stoped all stations to parramatta, granvil, lidcome and then olp.
Why is this?? would it not be better to use faster un/loading trains??
