Re: [NSW] Olympic Timetable, Day 1 report (Northern Line, Olympic Park Metro) plus some sightings

[Hubert Lam <hubert@imap4.com>]

in essence it is a very good timetable, with Berala and Regent's Park
not in operation it simplifies the network and also the East Hills
trains running through the Airport as well.

With the very generous timing, nobody will realise the extra one-minute
stop at major locations such as Strathfield or Central, but will be
very glad that the train runs early, departs on time (i.e. waits until
it's time!)

personally i give it a 95% rating.
