First, I haven't checked out Hornsby this weekend but the expectation in
previous postings (re connections to NP23) was that, at the very least,
there would be one track available at Hornsby for diesel-powered
long-distance trains.
Second, when it leaves for Brisbane, it usually leaves at 3 pm Sunday.

Now, where did it go today and why? Just around the Bankstown circle or
something more exciting?
