I very much doubt that the Australian owners also own Malaysia
See the list of directors of Gemilang International http://www.gml.com.my/data/announcement ... )e6163.pdf
But the Malaysian website does have a link to Transit Systems.

Gemilang International held a 50% shareholding in Gemilang Australia that was sold in June 2019. As a result, GI began selling whole buses to GA, where previously it had sold buses directly to end customers in Australia and New Zealand. So GA is now the distributor, where previously it was a broker earning commission. All explained here.

Busways 1128 is the latest refurbished bus at Penrith think that's 4 Scanias complete now of note is it seems to have lost its internal fleetnumber from its days with Westbus. Seems to have had its hillclimbing issues fixed used to struggle with the steep sections on the 770 route around Kingswood. Only 1134 seems to have issues still out of the Penrith Scanias

1114/1134/1128 and I think 1085 are the 4 refurbished.

Spotted the two Volvo B8RLE Bustech VST's for Orange buslines parked at VCV Newcastle (Beresfield). Still unreg from the looks I saw as I went past however it doesn't look like delivery will be too far off hopefully.

Grahamstown Road Closure Medowie
Due to the closure of Grahamstown Rd between Richardson Rd and Wade Close from 11th of Jan 2021, a Medowie Shuttle Bus route 9999 will operate between Lakeside Terrace on Grahamstown Rd Mon - Sat from the 11th of Jan (see route and timetable attached) and connect with our 136 and 137 services at Medowie Shops. On Sundays and Public Holidays, the 136 & 137 will run as far as the Lakeside Terrace turnaround in place of the Shuttle with some late running to be expected.

With regard School Services commencing on the 27th of January and to avoid major disruption, Council will grant access to all buses through the roadworks under traffic control.

Hunter Valley Buses regrets any inconvenience during this period.

I think you will find it is in Forest Lodge.
I know this is an old thread but I found this map showing Epping Recreation Ground hence the name for Epping Junction on the old tram network:

That map is map 4 in my facsimile copy of the Premier Street Directory of Sydney and Suburbs, which appears to be dated 1925. Thanks, Glen, for drawing attention to it. By the time of publication of the Gregory's 1934 directory (of which I also have a facsimile copy), that area had been renamed Harold Park.

As an aside, the 1934 Gregory's shows the [Rozelle] Tram Depot, although the Premier 1925 directory does not, even though the depot had been opened in 1904.
