The system is linked to the Train Describer System.  The 00:17 is the last train
from Martin Place, and the 05:07 is the first.  The Train Describer on the ESR
has been failing a fair bit lately.  It is, after all, 20 years old and runs on
a computer half the size of a house with the computing power of a calculator.
