In the message about CityRail Timetable d*****, from U2154492@CIVENG.UNSW.EDU. to ALL!, U2154492@CIVENG.UNSW.EDU. said:"

Yes. They have just returned back to the timetable we had prior to the
current one. It has nothing to do with whether something was working or
not. When the new timetable is finally drawn up in about 6 months (as the
conclusion of Hill's work) they may or may not put the extra Hornsby via
Main services again.

Funny how people whinge about the present timetable and how "they are now
always late for work". But cancel it and put back the one used before the
so called "fiasco" and again everyone is up in arms saying it's worse! The
grass is always greener...
