The 840 will gain passengers as all the vacant land west of Eagle Vale drive gets developed

That's not surprising when the services are brand new. If they weren't, they'd be too tight when they start to load.

Maps can now be seen here:

What is the unexplained dotted line on the map for Route 859 - the future route or possibly the current temporary route? (Sorry, it is a long way from home to check out myself.)

There is varying road construction ongoing in Edmondson Park.

Unsurprisingly 859 and 868 carried mostly fresh air on the first day
840 got a bit of patronage because of its directness from Oran Park you campbelltown Station, whilst the withdrawal of 896 from Gregory’s Hill also contributed massively to its patronage in that area

Similarly, Forest's 141 and 193 are still quite empty after almost three months of operation. In those cases, lack of publicity and absence of updated timetables at bus stops have not helped. I have reported the latter to 131500, but without response so far.

I believe bus stop timetables are an operator responsibility, so best to contact Forest themselves.

The network map is updated.... except they did not remove the discontinued S9.
