 NSW - Hornsby station upgrades
This makes alot of sense. Hornsby is a real bottle neck for thru
movements! How many freighters get put onto the loop just south of Cowan?

I have to disagree here. There is lots of space next to platform 4 (the
bus stop area, etc). Its just a matter of shifting a whole lot of dirt,
redeveloping the bus/rail interchange, and extending the bridge (pacific
highway goes over the top) for one more track.
