Bus timetable review

Gosford Council will join with Busways to review all timetables to the Bays area, the council's director of city services Mr Stephen Glen told a meeting of Bays' residents last week.

But he noted that the timetables were under a contract with the State Government.

Busways stated that it had already reviewed its timetable, particularly for school children.

It stated that, due to the five tonne vehicle limit, the only option was to enlist a "very small" mini bus.

Busways employee Mr Brett Thomson said Busways had arranged its timetable so that buses were meeting the trains at Woy Woy Station and so that the school children could go straight into Gosford.

He also said that there was now a connection from Terrigal.

Residents of Horsfield Bay at the meeting said that they were still feeling isolated, with no bus service and a general lack of taxis willing to travel to that area.
