My guess is that everyone walks up to the front at central thinking that
there is less people there. I got caught out yesterday like that. usually
there seems lees people at the front than the rear, but sometimes it's the
other way around. And if I was getting off at Emu Plains I'd choose the
middle because it would be closer to my car....
