SRA railcar disposal

I'm amazed that SRA is disposing of 11 620/720 sets and 4 DEB sets with
the Olympics only 2 years away. With the number of people visiting they'll
need every car they can get their hands on. It stands to reason that the
older cars could work the extremities of the system (e.g. Upper Hunter
services) while the Endeavours can be brought to Sydney and used to build
up Southern line services. The usual 2 and 4 car sets running to Moss Vale
and Goulburn could hardly cope. 6 or even 8 car sets from Moss Vale would
certainly be a benefit, and extra services could be provided with coupled
DEB sets. Is 2 years really that long?

Cheers
