So Northmead is not closing then?

And I assume you’re referring to the ECRL closure or the Carlingford Line closure? Surely the Carlingford line requires no more than a max of 3 buses, not a whole depot haha

It is a joint venture depot for Hillsbus and Transdev. It will house the Station Link buses for the Epping to Chatswood closure.

The depot is to be located at 37A Grand Ave, Camellia. This site is right at the eastern end of Grand Avenue. The site was in use as a container depot some years ago. It's site subject to water issues (flooding) as per warning signs on the entry gates.
