Our printed timetable brochure has incorrect time for the transfer pick up from Anna Bay, Frost Rd Opp Seawinds Village. The correct departure time is 09:05AM. Please see all up to date pick up times in our Sydney timetable.
Transport for NSW has recently updated the official names of several bus stops. To ensure consistency and make it easier for passengers to find our stops on Google Maps, we have updated the pick-up location names for our Sydney Express service accordingly.
Please note that the pick-up points themselves have not changed — only the names. You can continue to use the same stops as before.
To ensure a smoother and more reliable journey for all passengers, we are making a permanent adjustment to our Sydney Express route.
Following extended delays caused by the ongoing roadworks at Heatherbrae, we have reviewed the performance of the temporary route changes. This review has confirmed that avoiding the Heatherbrae and Campvale areas allows us to deliver a more consistent and efficient service, particularly during peak traffic periods. As a result, these locations will not return to the route.
We are pleased to confirm that Williamtown will now become a permanent pick-up and drop-off point, offering a central and easy-to-access location for passengers. In addition, we have introduced a new Tomago stop, providing a convenient alternative for travellers from the surrounding areas.
Updated Pick-Up & Drop-Off Points
Williamtown
• Pickup: 09:38 – Nelson Bay Rd before Lavis Lane
• Drop-off: 16:30 – Nelson Bay Rd after Cabbage Tree Rd
Tomago
• Pickup: 10:05 – Tomago Village Van Park, Tomago Rd
• Drop-off: 16:10 – Tomago Rd, opposite Tomago Village Van Park
These updates are designed to keep your journey running smoothly and on time, even during periods of significant road congestion. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to continuing to provide a reliable and comfortable service.
