^ Thanks all for the above Info and corrections.

^ The crossover at Central Station may have ben used on the morning of Anzac Day to support the additional early morning services between Bondi Junction and Central (in that direction between 03:23 - 04:53). I'm not sure of the exact operating procedures for these particular shuttle services. Surely...

^ I saw an ex Transdev bus Mercedes-Benz O405NH with ABM bodywork on Facebook, recently purchased by a private buyer.

ANZAC Day 2024. Sydney. Additional bus services. Region 4. CDC NSW. 607X Inbound. Bella Vista Station to City (Town Hall) (QVB). 03:30. 610X Inbound. Castle Hill Station to City (Town Hall) (QVB). 2 x trips. 03:14 and 03:44. Region 6. Transit Systems West. 423 Inbound. Kingsgrove Depot City (Martin ...

^ Maybe the 389 can return to operating to/from Circular Quay and the section of route between The Star and Town Hall can become route 443 and operate as a loop service around the Town Hall area.

Somebody might want to figure out how Transit Systems manages to run so many of the region 6 routes into the other areas. Ones that come to mind - there's more - include the 389, 410, 530 and the 320 which barely even runs into region 6 if I'm not mistaken, depending on where one draws the boundary...

I'd like to know how many buses in the NSW bus fleet have FUNCTIONING fire suppression systems (FSS). I assume they all have FSS when new, but the FSS is not inspected along with everything else (brakes, tyres, seat-belts, etc...) at the mandatory 6-monthly inspections by TfNSW. Why?: because FSS s...

There is a proposal for the current route 320 to be modified into a rapid route and operate between Mascot and North Sydney. TfNSW.

^ Yes you are correct, the Volvo B12BLE units equiped with Voith were originally allocated to Mona Vale Depot and Kingsgrove Depot respectively. The only exception was 4994 which was originally allocated to the M10 metrobus trial with a temporary (wrap) red metrobus livery and was operated from Port...

4994 - 4999 units were built / registered / delivered not long before the batch of units 1870 - 1889. The numbering and batching of buses became even more sporadic and sometimes random in appearance from the fleet numbering of 1900 through to 2300’s.

I was in Crows Nest yesterday, and I noticed that the bus tops in Burlington St still have the J poles showing section numbers and stand numbers (1, 2, 3, etc.) Information on apps refers to Stands A, B, C, etc. I sent feedback to TfNSW about it and there was response was" The bus stop signage...

Are operators other than TSA R6 getting electric buses this year such as U-Go, TSA R3,2, Busways, CDC NSW etc? When the nsw government published a press release regarding the successful operator (franchising of bus contracts and tender process) for Region 7 and Region 8 respectively, there was ment...

^ Temporary change due to a staff shortage in R14. This route was chosen most likely due to Warringah Mall terminus being close to R8 Keolis-Downer Brookvale Depot. I noticed that some of the route changes mentioned a ‘staff shortage’ as one of the reasons for route changes. I wonder if when there a...

^ The respective damage to both buses does not look that bad as far as the physical external appearance looks compared to what happened to 2724 ST on Church St, Ryde in 2019. That particular bus was off the road for many months whilst undergoing extensive rebuilding of the rear of the bus. The cost ...

x2 just registered TSA Custom Denning Element buses, now at Leichardt... https://www.busaustralia.com/fleetlists/tsa.php?search=TSA&chassisreq=Custom%20Denning%20Element&bodyreq=Custom%20Denning With so many CD Element units in storage, any large sudden influx of commissioned units could po...

a few days after 2 x CD Element units were transferred from TfNSW Leichhardt holding yard into R6 Leichhardt Depot, 2 x CD Element2 units were transferred from storage at R3 Hoxton Park Depot into the TfNSW Leichhardt holding yard.

The pick up point for special event route 443 at White Bay Power Station has been moved. The bus stop on the site of the White Bay Power Station is now for setting down only. The bus stop on Robert St (routes 441 & 442) will now be used for picking up passengers. The temporary route 443 is curre...

In fact, there are hardly enough. The disdain of artics held by a certain operator and a certain former minister are very misguided. That operator has been directed to use them on weekends an increase their utilisation rate on weekdays but appears to have refused to do both to some extent. On the o...

Sydney Metro North West rail replacement route 12M will be operated by Busways Region 1 on 16-17/3/2024 and 23-24/3/2024. This is due to CDC NSW unable to provide buses on these particular days because of commitments to providing major event bus services (5A, 5B and eight) at Sydney Olympic Park for...

1whoknows wrote: ↑Tue Mar 05, 2024 6:38 am $25m in government funding - four new diesel buses would cost no more than $2.5m.

Besides the actual buses, the funding would cover other parts of the project such as infrastructure, construction and maintenance etc. Contracts and contractors equals many $$$.

So will they be getting a whole new fleet of (electric?) buses? .. much as the operator of Chatswood - Epping got a brand new fleet. I could be wrong, however, considering that the rail replacement will start in either July or October this year, the short time frame may prevent a new fleet of elect...

^ I noticed this when browsing the trackwork timetables for the North West Metro. Former operator code was 23 (Hillsbus) , new code is 14 (CDC NSW R4). Sydney Olympic Park major event routes 5A, 5B & 8 have been published for Sunday 10/3/2024. These routes would have been inadvertently publishe...
