absoloutly right, when i used to commute from Wyong to central every day
(gee i miss them V sets) i would check out the little list on the side
of the destination boards and check how long the train was and stand at
the appropriate section of the platform to get the end of the train, it
almost always worked, except the time for some reason a 2 car K set
turned up instead of a 6 car V set (dashing down the platform...)
anyway, just blabbing on now....
