The current timetable shows weekdays 3x AM and 1x PM up SCO services terminating at Martin Place.

I couldn't see any up BJI services terminating at Central. Perhaps this gets used during T4 shutdowns?

https://www.smh.com.au/national/nsw/sydney-passenger-train-speeds-at-four-times-the-limit-risking-derailment-20240425-p5fmn7.html A suburban passenger train travelling from outer Sydney to the CBD was in danger of derailing or tipping over last Sunday when it crossed from one track to another at fou...

^ The crossover at Central Station may have ben used on the morning of Anzac Day to support the additional early morning services between Bondi Junction and Central (in that direction between 03:23 - 04:53). I'm not sure of the exact operating procedures for these particular shuttle services. Surel...

Crossovers at Central would give passengers from the north a better chance of getting into the city to connect with other services, if there are problems further south. Likewise, they would allow services from the south to terminate if there are problems within the CBD zone. I would have thought fle...

I thought this YouTube short was the Rozelle Interchange for a few seconds. Was it based off this roadway in America? https://youtube.com/shorts/chDy1600l2Q?si=qJ7L_Li_kV8AViji That sort of behaviour can be found on any road in Sydney. So many drivers have no lane sense, or "forward planning&q...

Hopefully there would be crossovers at Central?

Perhaps in Castlereagh St, Museum Stand F; returning via Bathurst, Elizabeth, Park ?? Castlereagh Street is a difficult place for buses these days. No left or right turns permitted from Castlereagh into Bathurst or Liverpool, cycleway construction, eventually cycleway leaving only one through traff...

A one speed transmission would not be very fuel efficient.

“normal control” is where the driver is behind the engine and front axle.
Presumably you mean “Forward control” where the driver is beside or in front of the engine.
“Half cab” is a body design for forward control whereby access to the engine is outside the vehicle.

I can recall from years back there was a requirement that passengers had to wear at least a singlet or equivalent. I’ve seen people denied boarding buses without it.

During the war, most motor vehicle production in UK and USA was limited to military needs. Civilian requirements were subject to "essential" services, and subject to government rationing. When the DGT wanted more buses, all that was available were Ford and White truck chassis. With an expe...

Though for a bus from Paddington to terminate at Town Hall, is there a place to lay up a bus or will it have to be scheduled as a loop (going via, say, Clarence/Market/York St... noting the left turn from York to Druitt/Park St sometimes takes a while especially if multiple light rail vehicles are ...

Canberra doesn't have much choice in deciding between bus and LR, so far there are no direct competing services.

The bus market in other states is much higher than in WA. Multiple suppliers spreads the load and keeps prices competitive.

Hopefully the "extensions" to the 394x would include stops at UNSW to help relieve overcrowding on the 396 services?

From Jo Haylen MP Facebook today:

This just in: Australian-made ferry Frances Bodkin has just started her first passenger service along the Parramatta River!

Aren't some of the Hills district express services to the City likely to be cut back? Weren't some only kept running after the first stage opened due to the longer travel times involved with changing at Chatswood?

I'd guess they are the same engines, so does it matter?

Last time I saw it a week ago it had Souths Juniors signage all over it.
It’s not classed as a public bus, so it doesn’t require accreditation.

How many buses are there in R9 numbered 2108? I had 4 random rides on 396s today, and on 3 of them "2108" appeared. I feel jinxed LOL.

The general public is not going to be too concerned by who made them, the names would be meaningless.
The fact they will be diesel and made in China is enough to get detractors in a frenzy.

I was in Crows Nest yesterday, and I noticed that the bus tops in Burlington St still have the J poles showing section numbers and stand numbers (1, 2, 3, etc.) Information on apps refers to Stands A, B, C, etc. I sent feedback to TfNSW about it and there was response was" The bus stop signage ...

I doubt that any manufacturer here would be able to go through all the ordering red tape here to even start manufacturing within 6 months months, let alone complete 60 within that time frame.

L2/3 testing started with these slow speed late night runs for a short period, then went over to daytime runs. Eventually working up to full timetable ghost operations.
