Interestingly it's not shown all the time - some trains are displayed
*without* via Town Hall. And it's useless as it gets truncated to
"via T" anyway!
>How else could you get from Sydenham to Bondi Junction? Via Randwick?
I assume it's to help passengers, more of whom would be going to Town
Hall than Bondi Junction. Like because the train isn't advertised as
going to "City" some passengers may assume the Bondi Junction trains
don't go to Town Hall. <shrug>
Then there are the SPI's at Sutherland. During the PM peak period,
destinations are shown in Capitals with spaces between each letter.
Looks pretty horrible.
