Busways and CDCNSW buses at Blacktown Interchange (January 2026)

Post by MiCCROwavE_OVEN »

Hello all, January 2026 was my first time travelling through Blacktown Interchange and I took a few photos of the sea of blue while waiting for my connection. Not that much variety today unfortunately - mostly Volgrens.

Image
^ CDCNSW Region 4 (Foundry Road) m/o 6149, a Volvo B7RLE Volgren Optimus on Route 630 to Blacktown via Baulkham Hills.

Image
^ Busways R1 (Glendenning) 1174 (m/o 5862), a MAN 18.320 HOCL-R-NL Bustech VST Mk IV laying over after completing Route 724 to Blacktown via Walters Road.

Image
^ Busways R1 (Glendenning) 2847 ST, a Volvo B7RLE Custom CB80 Series 2 on Route 724 to Arndell Park via Walters Road. This bus was originally ordered by the State Transit Authority for Ryde Depot in Region 7 - the bus migrated to Glendenning in December 2025 when Route 545 operations were (once again) transferred to Region 1.

Image
^ Busways R1 (Mulgrave) 1112 (m/o 9407), a Scania K94UB Volgren CR228L on Route 732 to Rouse Hill via Alex Ave. This bus was acquired from Westbus in 2013.

Image
^ Busways R1 (Glendenning) 1066 (m/o 5290), a Volvo B7RLE Volgren CR228L on Route 721 to Blacktown Hospital. This bus is also an ex-Westbus transfer, and is equipped with a Voith DIWA transmission.

Image
^ Busways R1 (Glendenning) 1077 (m/o 6004), a Volvo B7RLE Volgren CR228L on Route 730 to Castle Hill via Norwest. This ex-Westbus unit has a ZF EcoLife transmission, and its front Mobitec flipdot display has been replaced with a larger LED board - the displays have not been reprogrammed, hence the squashed display.

Image
^ Busways R1 (Mulgrave) 1088 (m/o 9368), a Scania K94UB Volgren CR228L on a Route 734 short-working to Schofields Public School. Another ex-Westbus vehicle. In front is Mulgrave bus 2487 ST, a Scania K280UB Custom CB80 ex STA Willoughby, but unfortunately I could not get a good photo of it.

Image
^ Finally, another Scania K94UB Volgren CR228L. Busways R1 (Mulgrave) 1121 (m/o 9554) terminates on Route 732 to Blacktown via Pye Road.
