Not sure, but purple was the colour used for the 'Cummerbund' (aka
'Cumberland') line (not really a 'line' as such) between Campbelltown and
Blacktown since Granville became a triangle junction.

Yes. The people who makes the decisions finally came around to see that
Wolli Creek is the only correct name that can be used. That location has
been known as Wolli Creek every since the construction of the East Hills
link and it's associated junction 50-odd years ago.

Calling it North Arncliffe was soooo ludicrous given that the railway
between the two stations passes over the Cooks River, which is joined
immediately to the west of the bridge by the real Wolli Creek (entering from
the south-west).

Craig.
