Some Intercity trains may be longer than the platform at their destination. This dataset has detailed information on the Cars (carriages) that customers can alight from at stations on the following Intercity lines: \* Blue Mountains \* Central Coast & Newcastle \* Hunter \* South Coast \* Southern Highlands

FYI This dataset is out of date at the moment with platform changes (at least at Central), and the current operating model of Mariyungs aligning from the rear (at the majority of short platforms), as well as their ability to open half of a carriage’s doors, e.g. 9.5 carriages on-platform.
