    That's exactly what I mean - a very specific circumstance. You're talking about trains being "stuck" inbetween Strathfield and Ashfield, a very small section of network. There are further sections without crossovers.

    Yes and it's the same reason the network is probably going to continue losing crossovers that are only essential under "very specific circumstances", including in the Strathfield area. No more lane changing. It is simpler and cheaper, but less flexible.
