Makes great sense, although I work at Waterfall depot, and it along with
Cronulla depot are the only two depots never qualified for Olympic Park when
the line was opened up for last years Easter Show, so unless management pull
their head out of the sand I'll never go there to see any of the train
working.. sigh..

In a way it could be a godsend because when I'm doing standby at Central the
only trains I'll be able to work are quay circles, bondi circles, Hornsby's
and Illawarra line trains.. Suits me fine - keeps me well away from the
Olympic humdrum. 8-)

Regards,

Craig.
