Re: Murrays fleet and services notes:
Murrays have been running a concentrated staff recruiting drive on Facebook recently, mentioning drivers for their Alexandria and "Western Sydney" depots.
This new depot is at Seven Hills somewhere, any noticed any activity? It seems a little premature for work from BC airport.

11-13 Welder Rd. Seven Hills. Google street view is showing a vacant car park, but probably a dated image capture.
Think for yourself, while it's still legal !

Re: Murrays fleet and services notes:
Murrays has announced new Canberra-Melbourne and Sydney-Melbourne Express services from 29/11.
https://www.murrays.com.au/express-serv ... C4fV5wjJuQ
The first of the Irizars was reported as delivered last week, so perhaps they are earmarked for this new service
