Default New Hornsby Platform

My understanding is that the new platform 5 at Hornsby will allow
platform 4 to work exactly as platform 2 does at Berowra. All
terminating trains from the main north will turn back from platform 4,
without interferring with through movements on the down (via plaftorm
5) or up (via platform 3.) No more unnecessary shunting of terminating
services.

Now how about the same deal at Craigieburn which is becomming a huge
bottleneck and delaying both through down services and starting up
sparks which have to be refuged.

Best regards............Paul P
