Re: [NSW] G-sets on Airport Line

["Chris Downs" <cvdowns@ozemail.com.au>]

Before the match BOP loadings were fairly heavy in the 1730 and 1830 period
although many trains were very unevenly loaded, light load up the front and
many standees towards the rear.  Announcements were made at Lidcombe to help
address this.  Some SOPs I saw were heavily loaded as well but the BOPs seemed
busier.  Certainly no problems evident in moving the available "customers".
