HORNSBY RAILWAY STATION, SYDNEY

'Hornsby railway station' is a railway station at the junction between the North Shore and Northern railway lines of the CityRail network in Sydney, Australia.
It also serves the commercial and residential area of Hornsby.
Confusingly, trains from Hornsby via the North Shore Line can return to Hornsby via the Northern Line, and vice versa. On July 10, 2003, this caused the communications system in a Millennium Train to fail because the train's software could not compute that the origin and destination of the service had the same name.

The additional platform is required in part for the extra trains that will operate when the Epping to Chatswood line opens.
