Early Bus Leaves Early While Filming At Marsden Park

Well today, whilst filming residents issues at Hollingsworth Road, Marsden Park had all witnessed a Busways bus arrived at 10.17am and left at 10.17am to go to Plumpton. It did not wait for 10.19am to pick up a few passengers that came on time to the bus stop on time 2 minutes means nothing to the drivers but means a lot to commuters they might miss the bus connection where there is only a two minute waiting time.

Both Debbie Robertson and myself were overwhelmed with each of the community members concerns. There would have been nearly 12 to 14 concerned community members that turned up. Right beside the caravan park complex - there is land being developed for employment development, in its early stages.

Marsden Park community members population within the caravan park is approximately 400 to 450 residents. Although they are worried about possible future developments - 'the shot in the arm' for them is the disturbance in transferring to different buses to get to and from Mount Druitt with the new bus service! Before, it was a one journey trip now it is a two journey trip.

It's funny that Sunday reverts back to one journey trip to Mount Druitt - no problems on that day - but every other day is not like easy Sundays bus survive for them. They want their 757 bus service returned to the hour;y service that was previously provided. Again this was an long standing service that has been servicing the community members for at least the last eighteen years!
