Re: [NSW] Tangaras

["Hubert" <hubert@imap4.com>]

No Tangaras on the Main North? You must be joking! It's the line with MOST of the
Tangaras by my observation, but it also has the most number of R sets (6 car
trains).

The morning peak timetable (from Hornsby to City via Main North) has at least 4
Tangaras scheduled for the "semi fast" services. From City to Hornsby via Main North
during that time, the services from around 7am onwards until 8am are all R sets.


There are 9 mid afternoon services (2.00-4.00pm) from Hornsby to City via Main
North, of which 6 of these are run by Tangaras or Outer Suburban Tangaras.

  Might also have somthing to do with the fact that all the K and C
sets (either forced air ir air conditioned) never see services on the
Illawarra. All Illawarra trains are R/S/L stock or Tangara's.
Admittingly Mortdale does have slightly more Tangara's than Hornsby
(Flemmington has none) but Hornsby would appear to cover much more
track.
