SillyRail does much the same thing - almost all trains on weekends are
four-car trains although, to their credit, they do increase them to six or
eight cars when there is a major event on. But on normal days, I used to
have to stand from Westmead at 9am on a Sunday morning (I now live at
Penrith, so I get a seat now!)
