I would imagine that upon arrival at Epping you change trains, which would be all stops to Hornsby..

Maybe it's a new cost cutting initiative by our State Government.....

Your answer is within 131500 and what I found is the train departs Rhodes at 10:11pm all stations to Epping arriving at 10:22pm then express arriving Hornsby at 10:35pm.

That's not All Stops. That's Limited Stops. Hornsby is NOT the station immediately after Epping geographically or even according to the CityRail network map.

Lemme bring up the Pids at Macarthur. It states all stops in the morning for the Endeavour Ex-Goulburn. Stops Campbelltown then Central (I) only.

The Following service is Limited Stops and stops at C'town, Glenfield then Central (i)

I've always thought that an "All Stops" say, from Campbelltown and then terminating at Macarthur should say "Terminating", rather than All Stops. That's just my Opinion.

I'm also surprised that there are no brochures on how to read the PIDs, yet there are ones for ticket purchasing- I've overheard people too many times:
-Wondering if the next train will be a 2/4/6/8 car service (when it's shown)
-Thinking the "2nd proceeding train" is the "next train" for the dual screen ones (hence thinking the 3rd proceeding train is the 2nd proceeding train).
