Add Intercity stations #3

Closed schaafm closed 10 years ago

Blue Mountains Line Central Coast & Newcastle Line South Coast Line Southern Highlands Line Hunter Line

All missing their stops after they reach the edge of the Sydney Trains service. Examples of missing stations - Wollongong, Newcastle, Bowral, etc. Plenty of commuters from these areas.

The current station list is based on this: https://www.opal.com.au/en/about-opal/what-services-can-i-use-it-on/Train_stations_with_opal/

As far I understand, while Opal is going to roll out everywhere by end 2014, the fare structure for the rest of the network is not clear yet...?

I think you could add stations that are in the same fare bands as Gosford/Wyong, as the fares will be the same in other directions outside of Sydney for sure. But I understand why limiting to areas on the existing trial makes sense for now.

Fare structure seems pretty clear for me - https://www.opal.com.au/en/fare-information/fare_information_train/

They even have Wollongong to Town Hall, etc as examples in the "Opal vs MyTrain adult fares comparison"

Looks like you two are right! I'll probably need to implement autocomplete before I add this lot to the options though: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_NSW_TrainLink_railway_stations

Finally added -- without autocomplete, because I'm a lazy git.
