It's a similar thing in the 2000 timetable as well (counted around 1 , whilst the 1997 has very little different patterns for the whole week day. |
Interesting, never I knew they had all stoppers from MacAuthur to the City. The 2004 timetable had quite a few oddball services (all during off-peak) including
-Liverpool, Warwick Farm, Cabra, Rego, Lidcombe, Strathfield, Burwood, Redfern then the City
-Some Liverpool to City via Bankstown - first stop Chester Hill then all stations to City
-City services orginating from MacAuthur via Granville stopped Clyde but not Ashfield
-Central to Emu Plains - Redfern, Strathfield, Granville, Parra, Westmead, S Hills, Blacktown then all to E Plains
-Berowra via the Main North

Just wait until World Youth Day! We'll have some real gems then...
Some examples:
Glenfield, all to Merrylands, Central, City Circle
Campbelltown, all to Glenfield, Liverpool, Warwick Farm, Cabramatta, Chester Hill, all to Canterbury, Sydenham, all to City Circle
Liverpool, Cabramatta, Bankstown, all to Campsie, Sydenham, Redfern, Sydney Terminal
Liverpool, all to Sefton, Bankstown, Sydenham, all to City Circle
Glenfield, Liverpool, Cabramatta, Birrong, all to Punchbowl, Campsie, Sydenham, all to City Circle
Plenty more to be found if you look!

Olympic timetable
Macarthur, Campbelltown, Minto, Glenfield, Holsworthy, East Hills, Padstow, Riverwood, Bexley North, Bardwell Park, Wolli Creek, all to the City Circle.
And... the few odd Ingleburn starters/terminators in the 1999 timetable.
City Circle, all stations to Ingleburn via Regents Park.
Blacktown, usual stops to Merrylands, all stations to Liverpool, Ingleburn.
Ingleburn, Macquarie Fields, Glenfield, Liverpool, all stations to Merrylands, then usual stops to Blacktown.
Ingleburn, all to Lidcombe, Strathfield, Ashfield, Redfern, Central, City Circle.
They've cut so many of the express services between Campbelltown and Glenfield in the newest timetables. Before almost every second East Hills train was Campbelltown, Glenfield then whatever stops (4tph per hour via East Hills). Also, of interesting comparison compared to the new timetable, Glenfield has 10, 8 and 12tph in the hours of 12pm, 1pm and 2pm respectively (12 between 7am and 8 also).

Early 80's afternoon peak: City Circle, Central, Redfern, Regents Park, Macquarie Fields all to Macarthur. That was an example of a Campbelltown express run.

A bit off topic but this has brought memories of the trains that would leave Redfern in the morning as I was waiting for the train to school in 1979:
Platform 6: Summer Hill all to Liverpool via Granville.
Platform 4: Burwood all to Blacktown. Change at Granville for Fairfield.
Platform 8: Sydenham, Canterbury all to Bankstown.
Platform 8: Erskineville, St Peters Sydenham all to East Hills.
Platform 4: Burwood all to Cowan.
Platform 4: Burwood all to Epping.
Platform 8: Erskineville, St Peters, Sydenham all to Cronulla.
Platform 10: Sydenham, Hurstville, Oatley only.
Platform 4: 2 consecutive trains stopping Burwood and Strathfield only.
Platform 6: Lewisham all to Bankstown via Lidcombe.
Platform 6: All stations to Homebush.
Lots to keep me amused while I waited for the train to school.

Ah yes! I remember a train terminating at Oatley back in '01 (I was about 7 then), occasionally the indicators would go ...Hurstville-Penshurst-Mortdale-Oatley-Mortdale, and would have Mortdale as the terminus. On other stations the screen would terminate at Oatley.

Egad! Those were crazy times back in the early noughties! Tell us more, fine minstrel! 
Mark in your diaries 26 March 2011 to vote out the current NSW Government. Who could do worse?

That's because the Oatley terminators didn't just stay at Oatley. The all stops to Oatley would sit there for a few minutes, and then form an Oatley-Mortdale service, which was in the timetable!

In the late 1980s there was a super quick cronulla peak hour service which we loved when leaving school as it skipped hurstville
I think it left martin place around 325? Anyway it stopped
all to redfern, first stop PENSHURST, mortdale, oatley, sutherland all to cronulla.
I used to love this as it skipped hurstville. used to laugh with my head out the window as a 12 year old at all the folks wondering why the train didn't pick up at hurstville.
The new timetable around 1990(?) got rid of this service.

There were a few Redfern-Penshurst non-stoppers in both directions during the appropriate peak. IIRC there was also a number of Redfern-Mount Druitt non-stoppers.
That was back when they knew what an express was - Sydney, first stop Springwood anyone? Or maybe Sydney, first stop Morrisett?
