Interestingly Adelaide Metro has published full details of all pre game AO Footy Express services for tonight's Crows match at Adelaide Oval.
Its an early start and services will be operating during the evening peak-Bus contractors will be stretched to the limit to supply enough buses and drivers to cover these runs!

Ive seen a number of LinkSA buses doing AOX9 and AO10 services before and after games - I wonder if any other charter/school companies (Kanga/Adelaide Coachlines/etc) will pick any runs up?
First person on 822, 865 (2016 re-route).

I have seen some Willunga Charter coaches parked in Railway Tce on weeknight football nights; parked with the Busways buses. Torrens aim to do the entirety of the work in-house so whoever used to supplement the Outer North football runs (Kanga??, Link SA??) wouldn't get a guernsey.

I guess if Torrens did need to go for coaches; their first port of call would be Sealink...
