How are you supposed to get to Darlinghurst ? The tram doesn't go there. Actually, the CITY bus would probably cover that. The signs aren't all encompassing You have just identified one major weakness in the TfNSW stop design - they are too stupid to segregate late night services and include them o...

Noticed a Transit Systems bus on a short working of route 320 to Zetland yesterday still displaying M20, presumably an oversight in the reprogramming of destination codes. I don't think it's an oversight. The computer units on the some of the 3-door bendies are playing silly buggers and reverting t...

Fleet Lists wrote:New timetables for region 7 from 24th February on Transport Info. No idea what for.

Minor correction to a school route and the 252.
When new data is supplied to TfNSW they treat it as a new timetable set regardless of what the changes are.

Race specials - Route 9 between Canterbury Racecourse and Canterbury Station.

440 and 504 are two reasonably common L113CRB haunts.

When STA fully plans and operates the track work replacement services for the Airport, City Circle and Eastern Suburbs lines, then you are required to tap on and off. STA has been changing fares on their track work buses for a few months now, and they also now add extra route services (e.g. extra 3...

There is an approved alternative special running route via Wakehurst Pkwy, Warringah Rd, Eastern Valley Way and Brook St.

3457 withdrawn today.

Four to go: 3450, 3454, 3456, 3458. All but 3456 were in service this afternoon.

At least 15 CRBs across Ryde and Waverley have also been disposed of and I imagine that they will all be on the way out over the next year. All 7 remaining TRBs went out this morning, on 272s, 288s, 290s and 293s. They obviously still have a use for them for the time being, given these have been th...

Interesting that there is an S Set on presumably a Charter from Leppington to Richmond as a T5 Charter. Also, because it is a weekend, there are a decent amount of C Sets and K Sets available for the charter if necessary, unless the S Set was specifically chosen to run the Charter by who booked it....

Not really gone, it is the nominated emergency ferry replacement route. In this case though, I'm leaning towards the driver being a supporter of a certain rugby league team...

Unlikely to be 3421, it was in service at M this morning.

2193 has not done any revenue service at Ryde. It is there for training purposes only.

Found this notice attached to Epping Station, Beecroft Road, Stand G this week. Since route 651 has been diverted from Macquarie Park to terminate at Epping, it now departs to Rouse Hill from Stand G. Route 630, which formerly departed to Blacktown from Stand G, has been reallocated to depart from ...

Who is the current "manager"? Years ago Hawkesford had it, then I think CDC took it over. Transport for NSW looked after the Pitt St bays, Sydney Trains took bookings for the Western Forecourt bays. Also STA have opened 6 bays in Lee St Layover for coach parking, bookings through STA as f...

Great photos as usual Inspector. As it is many years since i have been on the line i was wondering where the twin water columns are situated . I tried using Google Maps to locate them without luck. I noticed in the shot of 3265 coming into Couridjah there is a single column in the background. The t...

There's a green Country RT in a shed at Tamworth but am not aware of any Routemasters other than the two in Sydney (RM1708 RML2353).

If there is an emergency rail shutdown, operators can be and often are requested by TMC to cancel route services to cover rail replacement.

Stu wrote:3462 was carried away on a low loader yesterday destined to become scrap metal, it was missing bits and pieces.

3469 was towed away from Ryde on Friday for removal of gas tanks prior to scrapping.

I have been advised that former North & Western driver and noted bus preservationist Jon Graham passed away overnight.

The registration expired while the bus was off the road during the Move, H-plates are only renewable for 3 months. Thus it gained 47708H in 2014.

All sold out from here sorry

1566, 4811 and 4814 are currently in Ryde bodyshop having the front seats removed back to the centre door ready for a large charter coming up.

REFLECTORS? - PLATFORM 20, CENTRAL. What are the tiny instruments attached to the bottom flange of the rails through Platform 20 at Central? Are they adjustable? How do they work? I understand they are survey markers for checking possible subsidence when they start metro tunneling under Central. Th...

3505 is operating on 400 today which is a very rare sight. As I said before Scania L113CRBs don't normally operate on Sundays I still think thats a much better idea than Bustech Midi, which Waverley should hang its head in shame for using on 400 so often on the weekend. Also, while we are on the to...
