Hello

Are trains with the Does not pick up headsign regular trains? Are these trains that commuters can use?

Hi @AnetteTuef, these are regular passenger trains, that headsign simply means that it does not pick up any passengers at that stop for various reasons. Usually it’s for longer distance routes that have stops that are drop off only. For example Newcastle to Sydney where some trips have drop off only stops at Gosford and Wyong.

Thanks,
