Just checked a few more timetables for the 29/4 changes: 309 AM peak southbound trips face 2 trips removed per hour (down from around 10 trips/15 trips per hour to 8 trips/13 trips per hour between 0600-0759 for departures from Redfern). All trips out of Redfern from first bus until around 0800 will...

Wow - that's exceeding the service that the 400 was providing just before its breakup into 400/420! (Back then it was 7/8 min service even during the peaks?) Wasn’t the 400 split because the STA was making it a duel region route depot wise that was interchangeable between Waverley and Kingsgrove No...

Is there some web page where these changes are documented atm? Not as yet but new timetables are now live. :arrow: Route 350 also has additional services - up to every 6 minutes at times. :arrow: Route 397x according to the JP now completes the loop and returns to Maroubra Jn or Eastgardens (1 trip...

Hopefully the "extensions" to the 394x would include stops at UNSW to help relieve overcrowding on the 396 services? If so, it'll be the 895 reincarnated.... not even light rail could help save the patronage explosion that UNSW generates 😂 Nevertheless, it'd be a far better use of resourc...

Changes to the TJHB network start on 29 April. The biggest change is routes 392x and 394x will operate as loop services and now service Elizabeth St in both directions. :arrow: In the AM peak, 394x services will operate into the city as current before serving stops along Elizabeth St and then opera...

Possibly, but would not make any sense having U-Go operate a route that is wholly outside of its operating area. Unless routes 920 and 960 are reunited, can't see any benefit. I am quietly hoping that will be when M90/M91 are renumbered back into the usual range of route numbers, instead of being t...

Hopefully not the ones that carry standing loads like the 610X, much of which they pick up (inbound) well south of Castle Hill. Presumably these are justified because their catchment is through corridors not covered by the metro. You wouldn't catch it from Castle Hill to the city because it's quick...

There is a proposal for the current route 320 to be modified into a rapid route and operate between Mascot and North Sydney. TfNSW. Have Your Say on the On-street Transit Bus and Light Rail Network. https://hdp-au-prod-app-nsw-haveyoursay-files.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/5317/0002/5733/97ca188...

Amid all of the discussions about metro extension to Bankstown, what seems to be far less discussed are the bus changes associated with metro extending into the City. One of such that comes to mind: will routes like 288 be curtailed and more local route options provided to connect to former ECRL sta...

Sydney Metro has 4 weekend closures in March, 2 in April and 2 in May. This is just awful. :evil: Sydney Metro's parent company MTR opened various extensions in its home country Hong Kong (East Rail Line, Kwun Tong Line, Island Line) and all of them opened without disrupting the existing service to...

Special Event 443 service will commence from 8 March, from QVB to White Bay Power Station, as a loop service. No timetable uploaded yet. https://transportnsw.info/routes/details/sydney-buses-network/443/74443 It is for the Biennale of Sydney, from 8 March to 10 June: https://transportnsw.info/event...

I've always wanted to know why the so-called 'shopper hopper' routes exist and when they were introduced - unlike with Metrobus, NightRide or T-Way routes there seems to be very limited information on their purpose. I remember there used to be an S8 service that seems to have been renumbered 709, b...

Not really, back then before the Libs came in and blew up the joint, Blew up the joint in what ways? From a customer persepctive, there's only been increases to train services everywhere since they took over in 2011. Unlike the previous Labor crew who were in power for 16 years, with their only att...

Strathfield platform 1 to Hornsby via Epping

In Japanese scenarios, they have underground stations that don't have straight platforms, but the guard is able to perform door closing activities safely with the cameras and screens available.

That second last paragraph has me puzzled. It's an error, Erskineville and St Peters will be served by T4 services making additional stops. A shake up of the line numbers is on the cards, with one suggestion being that the T3 designation will be used for all stops services from Hurstville that will...

The terminus in both directions is shown as being in Joynton Ave, although it think buses go up Epsom Rd to turn around at the roundabout. This has been the situation for quite some time. I would guess that GREEN SQUARE is replacing ZETLAND as the destination? I suspect with the 10/12 changes, Gree...

Speaking of hard to read destination boards, some of the Keolis Downer Northern Beaches Volvo B7RLE Bustech buses have destinations that previously showed destinations in "all caps" (eg. CHATSWOOD, MANLY) but now for some inexplicable reason use what appears to be a smaller font and mixed...

Similarly, how does Metro West relieve overcrowding on the T2 Leppington via Granville line, when there is no direct interface between them? The T2 services from Parramatta would be used by those going to Inner West destinations on that line, which Metro West doesn't service. The only benefit for t...

Article today said 500x buses could start using Rozelle tunnels. Paywall so didn't get details - does anyone know? Use this link: https://1ft.io/proxy?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.smh.com.au%2Fnational%2Fnsw%2Fbuses-set-to-be-re-routed-through-rozelle-interchange-to-reduce-traffic-jam-20231204-p5eor1.html

I guess 504X should also be given such consideration, especially when there's no stop between Dr...

Most or all improvements appear to be at the expense of other routes so a reallocation of resources with probably no need for extra. Are they are still running a reduced timetable? 433 and 504 improvements appear to be caused by reallocation from the 431 and 504X respectively. 389, 438X, 442 and 47...

My other question is whether the 504X (which has no stops between Drummoyne & Town Hall), will be running through the new Iron Cove Link tunnels from Monday 27/11 onwards?

There are timetable changes to Region 6 services earmarked for 10/12/2023: https://transportnsw.info/news/2023/timetable-changes-for-inner-west-bus-routes Basically service improvements all around, with some of the following routes probably going to get the Frequent branding: 389 433 (with some serv...
