Re: [NSW] G-sets on Airport Line

["Bill McNiven" <wmcniven@gunzel.ozemail.com.au>]

It seems to be a one-off running (see STN 100-2001).

Tonight is the NRL "Double Header" at Stadium Australia.  STN 100 seems to
be a close copy of last year's, with the addition of the Airport services.
Since last year's program had every T set busy, this year's has G sets for
the Airport line (empty from Gosford).

A related topic is the overkill of the service in the STN.  Last year, this
could be justified as an Olympics Practice Event.  Now that the Olympics are
over, I suspect that a lot of empty trains will be seen around Olympic Park
around 11:30 tonight.
