I agree with Matt.
The express from Hornsby to Central takes 35 minutes, and then you'll
have to change to an intercity platform at central and hop on a train
to St. Leonards, adding another 25 minutes on top of the Hornsby ->
Central hop.
Changing at Hornsby and going the North Shore line (Platform 1 that
time of day) will take you ~40 minutes.
So, public transport nuts - what buses go there? Will the 440 take me
close enough?
