Re: STA Observations 2021

Looks like the 389 and 440 are completely missing... they should be listed even though they are operated by L, no? Just as 400 has multiple depots running the service!

I have fielded dozens of complaints since I was elected about Coogee’s public...

Dunny, do you think we will see artics on other routes now and not just 333's?

Volgren artic 2238.ST operating X24

Here's a better image of W's new Volgren artic 2238.ST operating an X24 (new route?) citybound at 8:30am this morning in Rushcutters Bay. Could be a new service replacing the L24 and helping fix a busy corridor (323, 324, 325) down New South Head Road during peak period. I did note that the destos d...

This morning at around 8:35am I observed a new W artic - 2238.ST operating a city-bound X24 on New South Head Road with the desto: City - Circular Quay X24 / City - Express X24. Can anyone shed any light on this? Given how packed the 324s and 325s are in peak, this service certainly makes sense. How...

Watch out for these buses on route 400 soon, from Waverley Depot.
Does this mean the existing CC B12BLEAs will be retained for 333 services? Or will 333 switch to rigids?
