Re: Bus Observations 2023

Saw Busways 2993 ST operating a 729 around 6am this morning on the Great Western Hwy. Listed at Ryde but possibly a transfer to Glendenning?

Re: Parramatta light rail

“Sydney” is a big place there, bud. Kinda hard to narrow it down to just one station. Thankfully we have good locality names for the stations across the city so we know approximately where they are. As for Marayong station, I believe you’ll find the station and railway line are located entirely with...

Re: Parramatta light rail

The use of “Parramatta South” refers to the Western Sydney University. There is a Parramatta North and Parramatta South Campus which are separated by Victoria Road. They are both referred to as Parramatta as it is a more identifiable name than Rydalmere. I personally believe the name of the LR stop ...

Re: December Bus Changes - Northern Beaches and Lower North Shore

The 410 should end at Top Ryde and the 458 should be extended to Macquarie both with 10 min peak and 20 min off peak with even spacing. I’m sure anyone travelling to/from south of Burwood Station can change at Burwood or Top Ryde.
Would improve reliability greatly on the 410.

Next, remove Blacktown from Blue Mountains line (I very much support that Westmead got the chop too, now time to go full circle). And Granville too (weekends?) while we're at it, unless thats already been done Why on earth would you think getting rid of Blacktown from BMT services is a good idea? T...

Re: STA Observations - November 2017

You would think so but if it’s a number you punch in several times a day, each day for a year; there’s bound to be a time where you make a small mistake and not check it. Just like a typo.

Pretty sure this is for major events such as Vivid and New Years Eve. Driver probably just punched in the wrong desto.

Western Line trains stop at Granville, Auburn then Redfern. BMT trains pick up the slack by picking up and setting down at Clyde.

Re: STA Observations - May 2017

There's a 303 service at 17:30 ex Circular Quay to "West Kensington" which would be the reason for this desto. Obviously the driver used the wrong destination code. Calling it lying is a bit much. Just a simple mistake.

Re: STA Observations - April 2017

It would be best to send this info to the feedback line (transportnsw.info) as that does sound like it could do with an extra bus.

Sadly a 309/310 can't be operated by a 14.5 or bendy bus due to the turn from Redfern Street into Regent Street.

Yes, read carefully at the information and others posts. Blacktown services run both weekends but Penrith (and Schofields) services only run on the long weekend, as I mentioned above.
