And what about making the St George hospital-Rockdale Plaza section of the 455 full time again rather then having every second 455 service continue onto the plaza

Re: Possible bus diversions
I have thought of some bus diversions that could be made in my area. Route 493 could be curtailed between Rockdale and Kingsgrove as there are other existing bus routes between Rockdale and Kingsgrove and also Beverly Hills. Route 493 between Bexley and Bexley North is covered by a frequent service...

Re: Bus Observations 2024.
Regional NSW operators are also feeling the pinch. In a private enthusiast chat group I'm part of, there's been some photo sharing about the latest Busline group deliveries, all sporting that the polka-dot moquette. While it's a visually appealing pattern, it's disheartening to see operators option...

Re: Bus Observations 2024.
Would make for a pleasant change from the sea of drab green and silver, though! :wink: The uniformity of presentation of the Perth fleet speaks of a high standard and pride in the operation that's lacking in Sydney. Not only the livery, but the consistently high minimum design standard. You'd never...

Re: Bus Observations 2024.
That's ridiculous. T South Wales wouldnt know consistency if it slapped them in the face. Being over from Perth since mid march, I am gob smacked at the lack of uniformity of the fleet here in Sydney. That's because Transport For NSW allow the contract holding operators to set their own bus specs r...

Re: Western Sydney Airport (WSA) Rapid Bus Routes - Campbelltown, Liverpool and Penrith
Looks like some people haven't bother to read the document properly and are carrying on as if the services proposed are express services along the line of SkyBus in Melbourne or the former Airport Express that ran to Mascot until 2000. The document is crystal clear that it is about services that wi...

Re: Bus Observations 2024.
They've been the best probably because they have no preexisting livery of their own so chevron it is! The interesting thing would be the 13 buses that have been repainted are from Interline m/o 9069 m/o 9164 and m/o 9761 have lost their blue fronts and the other 11 have lost their green and yelllow...

Re: Timetable Changes 2024,
:arrow: Route 350 also has additional services - up to every 6 minutes at times. Wow - that's exceeding the service that the 400 was providing just before its breakup into 400/420! (Back then it was 7/8 min service even during the peaks?) Wasn’t the 400 split because the STA was making it a duel re...

Although they haven't manufactured that model since 2011, they probably have stocks of spare panels to cover such events. maybe but maybe the evo 2 front as the original spec CB60 was updated to the evo 2 spec in 2007 would they have any series 1 CB60 fronts left in storage to refront Transit Syste...
