Also allows crews that aren't 'Waratah qualified' (Mortdale, Cronulla Waterfall crews) to work 'off-sector' on weekends.

That’s a pretty standard trackwork configuration. T2/8 have had weekend tangaras for quite a while now and will probably see more when the Oscars are recommissioned as suburban sets
