very good to hear; central's seems to have been turned up of late, so much so
that it almost hurts if you're on the platform.

digressing slightly - heard tonight at central "the trian on platform 19 goes
to penrith, first stop redfern, then burwood strathfield lidcombe auburn then
all stations to blacktown, then all stations to penrith. change at FOR clyde
for all stations to carlingford"
