People are increasingly spotting coverplated signs with "A11" (extending the Northconnex route number to Heathcote) along that corridor amongst road-sign enthusiast Facebook communities

If I were a canny Blue Mountains fish and chip shop near a train station, I'd secretly look at opening all night 29/30 Jan until after the final V-Set Chips departure, to cater for hungry gunzels.

A interesting side note: the final V-Set Blue Mountains services will most likely be the eponymous "The Fish" (dating back to 1880) and "The Chips" morning inbound services between Lithgow and Central of Australian high school maths textbook fame.
