But I thought they were going to do a tunnel to a new station somewhere? The Parramatta station site for the West Metro proposal was to be under Civic Place between Darcy St and Macquarie St. From memory I think that the station for the Parramatta to Epping Rail Link was to be under the existing st...

Warriewood Valley Route E85 will have a modified stopping pattern, with services operating all stops to Dee Why, then stopping only at Warringah Mall (Pittwater Road), Neutral Bay Junction and the City. Additional services will be provided. Route 185 will be modified to operate between Mona Vale an...

From this link that swtt posted: http://yoursay.b-line.transport.nsw.gov.au/northern-beaches-bus-service-plan Palm Beach New route 199 will operate as a full time, all-stops service between Palm Beach and Manly via Avalon, Newport shops, Newport loop, Mona Vale, Narrabeen, Collaroy, Dee Why and Warr...

Is the L85 the only service not getting chopped?

I don't see it appearing on that diagram that kypros1992 posted.

Also, for Region 4, I'd eliminate route 708, it seems to be a rare service with a convoluted routing that largely overlaps several bus routes in the Westmead, Wentworthville and Pendle Hill areas.

For Region 10 - I'd curtail route 962 to run only between Padstow and Sutherland, as much of its route mirrors the route of the M92. I'd eliminate the portion of route 962 between Sutherland and Cronulla as it largely parallels the Cronulla branch of the T4 Line.

For Region 4, I'd split route 603 into two routes.
603-Castle Hill to Parramatta via East Baulkham Hills
643- Castle Hill to Rouse Hill Town Centre via Glenhaven and North Kellyville.

Epping is nowhere close to Willoughby though!

I would expect the 295 to be a Y route.
However, from my own experiences, 288,291 and 292 are codeshared between M and Y.

Did a quick weekly update of Tripview today. Looks like there will be extra outbound 288s and a couple 290s deployed to serve customers on Epping Road from Wynyard.

All the Bronte to Railway Square 440s could have remained 378. 440 could just apply to through-routed buses running the whole length between Rozelle and Bronte.

I finally got a ride on the brand new 2828 tonight, by pure luck. Got it from Eastwood on route 545, and would have changed at Macquarie for a train but for this special event, stayed for the entire trip. I spotted 2827 (Y) at Macquarie Centre on a 459 service a few weeks ago. Sent from my iPhone u...

Is it possible that one of the reasons behind cancelling the route 459, the Macquarie Uni / Centre extensions of the 458 and the removing the 295 away from Macquarie Centre for when the ECRL is shutdown for metro conversion? Just a thought as the area wil be teeming with rail replacement routes and...

For the eastern region: Renumber the Mascot-Waterloo leg of the 303 as 304 which will terminate at Botany at the same terminus with the M20. Current 303 will run the same route as X03, via Southern Cross Drive Renumber 391s which terminate at Port Botany to Route 390. For region 4. I would split rou...

A few suggestions for Region 5: All current 288s which terminate at Macquarie Centre can be renumbered 296. A half-hourly 288 service between Epping and City- Erskine Street will remain as is. Eliminate route 534, and renumber them as additional 533 trips to/from Chatswood and Olympic Park. Curtail ...

New screens at Parramatta: https://i.imgur.com/qXtUlcu.jpg Definitely a cleaner improvement over the original blue and yellow Cityrail screens. The escalator that descends from Level 2 (Church & Arygle Street) entrances of Westfield Parramatta to the Level 1 Food Court still use the original yellow...

In my opinion, I would remove the Greenwich detour from route 265 to clean up the complex routing, and run a new '266' service from Chatswood - Victoria Ave via Pacific Hwy and Greenwich Road to Greenwich Wharf.
Like so:

Caught a Blacktown bound 630 from Macquarie University yesterday at around 4:45pm en route to my home in Carlingford. Bus ran 20 min later than timetabled, which meant there were two westbound 630s within ten minutes of each other. Also, when the bus reached Shalom Nursing Home (stop 211317) at the ...

Whoops, I must have omitted that.
Had a geez on Google Earth, the 804 happens to be 36km long according to my measurements.

I grew up not far from there at around that time but I was very young at that date. I'm not sure that Route 90 would have crossed the Carlingford line at Carlingford Station unless it was a diversion. Robert would know better.

Spotted this Y, 2827 on the 1:10pm Strathfield 459 service at Macquarie Centre last Friday. First I've seen of this stock with the new white LED displays. I've spotted a few of the same type of bus on a 506 and 518 at Macquarie Centre these past couple of weeks... might be a new stock delivered to R...

Caught the 16:27 Epping via Strathfield service from Town Hall on Tuesday. The service had to be rerouted to stop at Redfern platform 6 and Burwood platform 6 running non-stop on the local tracks between Redfern and Burwood due to a medical emergency at Redfern which blocked platform 4, before retur...
