Services
Outside of special events, trains to Olympic Park depart from a special platform at Lidcombe (technically platform 0, but referred to as the 'Olympic Park Sprint Platform' rather than its number). Originally operating with a frequency of one train every 10 minutes, it currently runs one train every 20 minutes on weekdays and every 10 minutes on weekends. The trip between Lidcombe and Olympic Park takes about 5 minutes each way.
During major events at Sydney Olympic Park and weekdays, train services to Olympic run direct from the intercity platforms of Central, also stopping at Redfern (sometimes) and Strathfield. After larger events, west-bound trains from Olympic Park are also extended beyond Lidcombe to Blacktown via the Western Line, to Glenfield and/or Campbelltown via the South Line.

Famous quotes containing the word services:
“Men will say that in supporting their wives, in furnishing them with houses and food and clothes, they are giving the women as much money as they could ever hope to earn by any other profession. I grant it; but between the independent wage-earner and the one who is given his keep for his services is the difference between the free-born and the chattel.”
—Elizabeth M. Gilmer (1861–1951)
“It seems I impregnated Marge
So I do rather feel, by and large,
Some cash should be tendered
For services rendered,
But I can’t quite decide what to charge.”
—Anonymous.
“Working women today are trying to achieve in the work world what men have achieved all along—but men have always had the help of a woman at home who took care of all the other details of living! Today the working woman is also that woman at home, and without support services in the workplace and a respect for the work women do within and outside the home, the attempt to do both is taking its toll—on women, on men, and on our children.”
—Jeanne Elium (20th century)
