Bronte Question

From Wiki

This (tram) line branched from the North Bondi via Bondi Junction line at Bondi Junction, running down Bronte Road and MacPherson Street to Bronte Beach. A feature of this line was the final approach to Bronte Beach in a rock cutting parallel to the Pacific Ocean. The line opened to Waverley in 1890, then to Bronte in 1911. Electric services started to Waverley in 1902, then Bronte in 1911. Through services ran from Circular Quay or Railway Square. The line was closed in 1960 and replaced by a bus service that follows the current route of Sydney Buses' route 440 (eastern section).

Route 440 no longer appears to run to Bronte. So what route number should it be now or is there no equivalent now?

A couple of months ago it became 379 Bronte to Bondi Junction (and then to North Bondi replacing the 389). The 440 now terminates at BJI, as does the 389 from Pyrmont

Did the first incarnation of the 379 operate to Circular Quay?

Yes, up till the ESR opened in 1979.

Correct, with X79 replacing the old X89 in that sector
