When you say terminate do you mean detrain all the passengers and shunt to a yard or just change ends on a platform?
It's all very mysterious at the moment.  |
Answers to both would be good, but I was more interested in services/lines where passengers don't get detrained/booted off  | |

I don't quite understand the question - I mean a tain that goes Hornsby-NS-Stratty-Epping-Hornsby still terminates when it gets back to Hornsby. If you mean that don't terminate in the city, well apart from interurban and country trains, very few do terminate in the city.
For a real non-terminator, there used to be one train in the 1988 timetable that went Campbelltown-Granville-City-Bankstown-Strathfield-City(a few times, I forget how many)-Bankstown-Strathfield-City-East Hills. Took 7 hours 58 mins - basically the entire shift without terminating. | |

There used to be one weekend train that ran from penrith to central (4-15) and terminated there. That was along time ago now.
Occasionally some suburban lines do terminate at central paltforms 4-15 and i noticed that on satuarday morning , about 7:30 a train leaves hurstville stopping at sydenham, st peters, erskinville, redfern, central then via the citycircle. Off the topic i know.
Not listed in the timetable..........................................., why? | |

I don't think they don't do Campbelltown via inner west anymore, they terminate only at liverpool now. | |

Eg: Hornsby to Hornsby via North Shore, then Northern Line via Epping.
Macarthur to the city via the East Hills line, then through the City Circle, then to Campbelltown via the inner west and Granville, Fairfield, Liverpool. | |

Excepting some services carry on to the South Line, and some others terminate at Ashfield.  | |

| I'm after a list of lines that don't routinely have the train terminate, where it just goes back via another line or the same one - atm, I can only think of western/north shore, carlingford, and northern - someone mentioned bankstown/inner west, but I don't see how inner west would work... | |
