Here! Here!- I'm a regular traveller from Picton to Glenfield and Yes that
train is always packed with Sydney -Campbelltown travellers.

Ticket inspectors have been around on the morning peak train (Picton 6:56,
C'town 7:24, Syd Terminal 8:15am) fining people getting ON the train @ C'Town
and Glenfield. (in the mornings it is set down only at these stops)Generally
this has worked in stopping an overcrowded long distance train being packed
out by shorter distance commuters.
