After waiting seven years, Sydney played host to the 27th Olympics Games from September 15 to October 1. To prepare CityRail passengers for the impending event a special timetable was organised and started two days prior to the Games starting. The changes were far reaching across their entire network, with most diesel railcar services only operating from outer suburban termini, intercity routes cut back, set sizes reduced, and a thirty minute suburban service for most of the day to Gosford! The Games may now have gone, but their audio history has been captured to remind us of those mad 17 days.
