400 was diverted during light rail construction from 31 Mar 2017 when buses could not travel eastbound via High St. Towards Bondi Junction it travelled via Barker St and Avoca St, continuing directly to Frenchmans Rd: https://web.archive.org/web/20200404171750/http://www.lightrail.unsw.edu.au/news/...

Does the 993 Optus shuttle still operate?

When Sydney Metro between Chatswood & Sydenham opens later this year, an interesting travel time comparison I noticed...
