The South Line (line colour: light blue, originally green) is a part of the CityRail suburban network. This line conveys passengers between stations on the City Circle and the south-western suburbs of Sydney, including Fairfield , Liverpool and Campbelltown , travelling via Granville . Most trains loop around the City Circle to return to the suburbs via a different line, most commonly the Airport And East Hills Line . The South Line is also particularly used by commuters travelling from the south-western suburbs to the regional business districts of Parramatta and Blacktown - especially when the part-time Cumberland Line is not in operation - by changing for the Western Line at Granville. Most South Line trains start and terminate at Campbelltown, however during peak hours many trains start and terminate at Liverpool and Glenfield instead. This is partially to relieve South Line trains of commuters travelling from the City to stations between Glenfield and Campbelltown, who are encouraged to use the more direct Airport and East Hills Line instead. This line is sometimes known colloquially as the ''"Granville Line"'', due to announcements at some stations, particularly between Liverpool and Campbelltown, referring to city-bound trains as going to the "City via Granville". Originally, the route between Cabramatta to Lidcombe via Regents Park was also considered a part of the then ''Southern Line''. However, this has since been separated into its own Inner West Line .
