Westbus / Ansett Australia Airport buses

Post by ScaniaGrenda »

Hi all, I'm after information on any buses under Westbus that would have operated shuttle services at Sydney International Airport between 1995 and 2002, information is very limited online and would appreciate anything you may remember or media that is able to be retrieved.

I'm wanting to do this because, like Sydney’s Airport Express ran by State Transit, I want to document the Ansett shuttle buses during the aforementioned period that used to service the Airport. There’s a big gap in information about them, and I’d love to fill that in and get it properly documented.
  • Where were the Westbus Ansett branded buses operated out of, I believe they would have operated out of the then Westbus Arncliffe depot but I'm not 100% sure on that?

    How many buses did Westbus have or use for the Airport Shuttle?

    Chassis & Bodywork? (+ features of the buses and Interior)

    Frequency of the service?

    Costs to use the service (or whether it was free)

    Did they just service Sydney Airport or the surrounds of it?

    When did the service cease (While Ansett ceased March 4th 2002, did the Ansett branded buses finish prior or kept going shortly afterwards?)
Additionally any brochures or timetables / documents that may be in ones collection as I have strong reason they'd exist but again nothing readily preserved or available online.

Thank you
