What is TSA 835? And I dont think your comments like that are warranted.

I'm unsure why, presumably some sort of trial this bus has been like this for a number of years now.

Presumably Route 835.
What is "throughout"? Every service all day?

131500 feedback is a better outlet for such comments.

I had forgotten about that route. I guess "throughout" means throughout a particular trip.

Transit Systems seems to have new region 3 timetables up on Transport Info today. Does anyone know what changes are being made?

Busways 1125 on the 779 with a smashed up windscreen guess there's a kangaroo somewhere down on the ground also running 8 late.

By the looks of things, it seems the only 'change' is TfNSW just throwing that contactless payments paragraph into the timetable. Looks like it may either be very minor time changes or nothing.

The contactless was thrown into all bus timetables to coincide with the start of the school term a week earlier 14 October. So that is not the answer.

That's what I was thinking too as there's no news on the TfNSW websites about any Region 3 service changes per se - well, at least when I tried to look into this yesterday.

That was quick. Don't they have plenty of spare 0405s?

6 days for a new Windscreen and repaint doesn't seem that fast?

Low entry A/C makes it a priority I suppose.

I doubt a 'roo could damage a windscreen with causing lower panel damage as well.

Panels where not damaged as such just needed a clean and a repaint I'd say

Glendenning 1239/42 seem to be operating private hires in Penrith today. Most CDC buses in Penrith are now Movembered.

Nice to see Hunter Valley Buses getting in on the Movember spirit this year. So far seen a few ex Stationlinks with the Moustaches on it as well as a few of the older B7RLES with CR228L Body. Haven't seen if any of their Scania's feature them. No high floors seem to have them as far as I know.

Noticed one of the Rover Mercedes CB60 bodied buses lacks any form of accreditation on the drivers panel, think it's Fleet #4

Have noticed that for the last couple of days, Diggers Shuttle Service has had Taxis from the towns local taxi service parked out the back of their property.
