Wonder what they mean by a turnback, is it a clockwise loop that will allow
trains to return to the opposite platform at Bondi Junction?  If so, it
would have to be of quite a radius to allow trains around.  The consortium
source would probably be quite right in that case, make the loop a little
larger and put the Beach station on it!   Rebuild the volleyball stadium on
top and you'd really have the NIMBYs squealing!
