Matches in DBpedia 2014 for { ?s ?p The Southern Highlands Line is a section of the Main South railway line, and part of the NSW TrainLink outer suburban network. Its main service areas are the Southern Highlands Region (Wingecarribee Shire), the Southern Tablelands Region and the Wollondilly section of the Macarthur Region of New South Wales. It also includes the main focal points of Picton, Mittagong, Bowral, Moss Vale and Goulburn. It is the only intercity line that connects with the Sydney suburban network that is not electrified and, as a result, it is exclusively serviced by diesel Endeavour trains. Most are two cars long but some four-car services operate when in direct service to Central and or Goulburn. It is coloured green on a grey background on CityRail maps and other promotional material. Services first began to Goulburn on 19 May 1869. A rail coach service operates on the route of the former Picton–Mittagong loop branch line.For the most part, NSW TrainLink Southern Highlands Line services no longer travel through the suburban network. Most instead terminate at Campbelltown, with commuters requiring a change to a suburban service to proceed further. Only two services on weekends and weekdays (one to/from Goulburn, and one to/from Moss Vale) operate directly to Central. These travel through the suburban network via the East Hills Line and Sydenham. There are some discussions to extend the Southern Highlands line to Canberra. It would allow an express service to and from Central every 3–4 hours with a probable stopping pattern of: Canberra, all to Goulburn then Bundanoon, Moss Vale, Bowral, Mittagong, Campbelltown and Central and vice versa. In doing this, this will allow Goulburn and Southern Highland passengers a quicker and direct trip to Central, as currently most services require a change over at either Macarthur or Campbelltown.Other than Intercity and freight services, this line is also used by NSW TrainLink's Country southern services, including XPTs to Melbourne (Southern Cross Station) twice daily, and XPLORER services to Canberra (twice daily) and Griffith (once weekly).. }
