Because many passengers don't know all the stations on a line so
sometimes the most common destinations are stated.
The real stupid one is at Sutherland for Cronulla trains, where the
DVA says: First stop Kirrawee, then all stations to Woolooware, then
Cronulla" where Cronulla is the station immediately following
Woolooware.
