Crookwell Bus Service

[Fleet Lists]

I received an email today advising that Crookwell Bus Service closed their doors in November this year. Does anyone know if their route 818 to Goulburn is still operating and is so who the new operator is?

I think that the extension to the station is worthwhile, although I think they really should allow for more than a 5 minute connection with the train, especially as there is a gap of more than 5 hours until the train to Sydney for anybody who missed it (and that Xplorer at 1:28pm is usually booked out anyway).

The route would be far more useful for Crookwell locals travelling to Sydney if there were trips timed to connect with the most popular intercity services, being the 7:34am ex-Goulburn and the 4:00pm ex-Central. Unfortunately I can't see the state government lashing out on funding any such service.
