Re: NSW - Is it time for one timetable?

[ROBERT SCHROEDER <bobschroeder@optushome.com.au>]

Perth has a 15 minute off peak service thus no timetable is required.
Sydney should copy and provide a 15 minute off peak service to all
stations on the network (that does not mean all stations trains, just
15" service to all stations)
It is possible and the trains would not need to be eight car sets -
four car sets more frequently that at present would be a better
service.
