Because the frequency is so lousy.  Further every second off peak service
city bound service has a ten minute stop at Hornsby.  This "delay" hardly
encourages train travel.  It also seems that every time there is trackwork
on the North Shore or Main North CityRail takes the opportunity to cancel
trains in the Hornsby - Berowra corridor.  Again the time delays through
using the replacement bus service do not encourage later train travel.
