The 262 seems to follow the N262 route not the 262 route. Are these services on top of the normal services? Example the normal Seaford services leave ARS on the hour and the NYE services leave hourly at half past the hour.

According to the Admet website, these are extras.

Will be interesting to see the N254 operating during daylight hours! That would be a very rare photo op! :wink:

And probably confuse a lot of commuters with the 254 running as well.

Well they take the same route to Pt Adelaide, so don't see what the issue is there. They'd just see an "N" on the front an dwonder why.

Between 704 and 1134pm you will have a 254 and N254 departing(King William Street X2) at the same time ---that will confuse people who are not used to N254 which after all is an "After Midnight" route-poor planning by DPTI.

Apologies, hadn't looked at that level of detail. As Eagle Eye said though, it would certainly be an interesting photo.

I read it as just an extended 254 service, not a double division. There are other extended routes that show their normal departure time from their start location, such as 506H buses which are extended to TTP as a normal 506, starting at Paradise at the same time as normal.

Yes you are quite correct,Transit Times shows only N254 leaving City.
