It is in the overall scheme of things - and it is not just the Olympics or
Paralympics here. As I pointed out before, it will see extensive use
whenever the high-frequency Olympic Park service is in operation, which is
reasonably often - often enough to warrant an extra platform.

As I previously said, Hornsby is adequate for current and anticipated
needs - although expansion would be nice. Blacktown is inadequate for
current and anticipated needs. They might as well expand it while there is
Olympic money available.
