Balmain East 442/445 Terminus
Has an articulated bus ever had to turn around at the Balmain East 442/445 terminus?
Next station is Victoria Square. Change here for all trains.

Where, exactly, is the point of no return?
Is it the roundabout just after Gladstone Park, or even before that?
A related question is, do bendys operate 442s or 433s to Gladstone Park??

Re: Balmain East 442/445 Terminus
I've seen a bus try to turn around in there while cars were illegally parked. That didn't seem like the easiest of manoeuvres to perform.
I've also read stories (can't remember if it was here or in a facebook group) where buses made it to the wharf and couldn't engage reverse gear to make the 3 point turn.
I'm sure there's also a photo around of a mk2 merc that ended up in the water at Balmain East.

IIRC, it was relatively new Mk3 2516 that ended up in the harbour. Think it was beyond repair.
