There is a St. Marys - Wyong service via North Strathfield (departs St.
Marys 1604 weekdays, formed by 2 car "V" set), a Blacktown - Gosford
service via the North Shore - 8 car "G" set (dep Blacktown 1655 weekdays),
and an Emu Plains - Gosford service via north shore - 8 car "G" set (dep
Emu 1717 weekdays). They are hidden amongst the other trains in the City
Rail Western and Carlingford line timetable (T'table #8 19 Oct 97) pages
22/23 and 24/25, as proceeds to WYG and GOS. (GOS is not mentioned in the
"Explainations of Abbreviations" page. Similar workings operate in the
opposite direction during the morning peak.
