The run you refer to is 130 run which consists of 6 car chopper
"guarrenteed" by Cityrail standards. in the morning it goes to Epping -
North Sydney then to North Sydney Car Siding. At 13.21 it leaves NSCS to
North Sydney - Hornsby via Main then down the Shore and out to Richmond
ALL STATIONS to North Sydney via Bankstown. Then it proceeds to
Flemington MC.

There are 2 others that run on Y links which are 129 run and 123 but
they could be and R set as well. 130 is the only "guarenteed" chopper
service.
