The Timetable calls for a "Standby" train, 8T set, Run 106, from 0620 hours until 2200 hours, Saturday and Sunday.Stonesourscotty wrote:Anyone know why there was a Double Tangara At Platform 2 at Olympic park all Afternoon?
This was the train by the looks of it.rogf24 wrote:Delays this evening on T1 line. I'm on a T2 that has just passed a bunch of trains on the express track.
Tangara had the issue, the Waratah behind it was eventually brought up to the platform and offloaded through the driver cab door.rogf24 wrote:This was the train by the looks of it.rogf24 wrote:Delays this evening on T1 line. I'm on a T2 that has just passed a bunch of trains on the express track.
Why do such trains show destination signs of "Central", when we all know that's not the case?lunchbox wrote:Silly question department.......Why does the up platform departure screen at Gordon show the ultimate destination of all trains as "Central", when we all know that's not the case?
Other stations show the true final destination on the platform indicators.
The destos for Epping via Central change to Epping via Eastwood at Central and then "via Eastwood" drops off on approach to Eastwood.gilberations wrote:From Berowra to Chatswood via Gordon, all Epping Services show central until they get to Chatswood and from there it is advertised as Epping via Central. Richmond, Emu Plains, Penrith and Blacktown services are showed as their final destination the whole way
Incorrect. In the days before the ECRL, most trains from the North Shore line went to Penrith or Richmond, and they were described as such. Trains for the Strathfield-Hornsby line supposedly started mostly from North Sydney.Scott4570 wrote:As all of us would be aware, in the days before the ECRL, trains would travel Hornsby to Hornsby, either via the Shore and Strathfield, or via Strathfield and the Shore.

Yes, Epping starters via Northern Line show Central via Strathfield (as do Intercity trains).swtt wrote:neilrex wrote: This nonsense of labelling trains as going to Central never happened before the ECRL.
That would be incorrect.
When the original 1994 LED based Station Passenger Information (SPI) indicators were rolled out to Hornsby, all trains showed "Central" when running via the Up Shore line.
By the time every station received the new dual screen Windows based indicators, all stations from Hornsby to Roseville inclusive showed "Central". Irrespective of final destination being Penrith/Richmond or Epping.
Since around 2011/2, every Western line train has been showing its ultimate destination from Hornsby to Roseville, and every Epping via Strathfield train has continued to show Central as its destination as "Epping" would potentially confuse new users of the system.
That is just how the system classifies the route Central - Berowra - Central via Epping. No different to Ashfield - Central being T1 on the system.andy_centralcoast wrote:At Central earlier today T1 Northern Line trains to Berowra were incorrectly showing on the intercity platform departure indicators for CCN line.
Flagged it with a passing CSA who said it happened a few weeks ago too and she reported it as an error but never heard anything back.
Yes, no real time information. The stations with remotely controlled indicators were offline for maintenance.andy_centralcoast wrote:Indicators are blank across the network this morning. Station announcement said an overnight upgrade of the system is taking longer than expected.
