For some time, Sydney's 56 "chopper" cars have been marshalled as eight
6-car sets and one 8-car set (C9).  Today I noticed 8-car sets C2 and C5.
Is this the start of a grand re-marshalling?

I also notice that there are still two six-car R sets marshalled
C-T-C-C-T-C.  Does this indicate that CityRail actually has too many power
cars and not enought trailers, or is there a more technical explanantion?

Over to the experts ...

Just another bit of useless trivia.

At North Sydney CS today  8 car train came in  with 6 cars K set plus a 2 car L set. (K 74)
Another 8 car train came inn 4 car S + 4 car K.
