I'm confused...

Illawarra trains come from MMC, and never go anywhere near Lidcombe?

They do if they're on Bankstown Line runs or Inner West proceeding to Liverpool ( The Tangaras)

They also do South line services.

And if the reported delay is read properly the ESR and Illawarra are (were) not affected.

Glad I didn't go out to see it off

Fred3801 pic of G8 and G3 being divided comes from Kiama not Port Kembla leaves Kiama at 05:45am arriving at Central 08:01am.

Quite confusing today at Central.

Cityrail says there was a breakdown at St Peters, so passengers going south on the Illawarra had to go to Platform 22/23 so I guess the trains north bound went via the City Circle and the trains on the ESR temrinated at Central or Redfern I think.

Oh my,

Shuttle service between Bondi Junction & Central, for the dealys on the ESR/Illawarra, not sure on services from Central to the Illawarra line

Shuttle service between Bondi Junction & Central, for the dealys on the ESR/Illawarra, not sure on services from Central to the Illawarra line

Here's a explanation which may be confusing but I think you'll knwo what I mean.

Illawarra trains from Cronulla/Waterfall, went to Redfern arriving at the City Circle platform at Redfern(above ground) then proceeding around the City Circle, Town Hall first stop then proceed around the City Circle so they can arrive at Platform 22 at Central so they go to Redfern above ground Platform 10

Then proceed to Sydenham on the Illawarra Lines then proceed to their destination?

COnfused?  Hope not.

As a high schooler this year, I think I can say I don't have as good grammar as any of you  

I was at Central for 2.03pm to Katoomba. They were announcing Illawarra trains leaving off 22-23. As I sat waiting to leave on platform 13(about 20 mins), I could see trains arriving right behind one another on 17. Any information as to what happened to block the line at St Peters?
