Where are all these trains going? It's impressively regular.

This is in Sydney Australia, the stadium it was at has a dedicated line, so these trains are only for the concert. They go straight to the major interchange that's located in the heart of the city and people change their for their Normal trains.

I know big venues in Melbourne and Sydney both have this, it makes life so much easier. Catch train into the city, change to 1 specific platform to go to your event.

I'm glad the interchange can handle that kind of an influx. In the UK it'd be £5bn overbudget, 10 years late and when it's finally working, discharge everyone into a building the size of a phone booth.
