The 5:08pm ex Central not only goes to East Hills but Redfern, Sydenham,
Riverwood and Padstow as well, as well as all the stations in between East
Hills and Campbelltown. So strictly speaking the 5:08pm train goes to East
Hills. :) And btw the 5:08pm today was held up behind a "banker" outside
Sydenham for a minute or so and did end up at East Hills 7 minutes late
again.
