2nd Service Returns - Gasmata Buses Are Coming Back Pending COuncil Approval!

Yes, this is the the 2nd bus services that the NSW Government has realised should be reintroduced within the Mount Druitt community. This morning i was going to provide our group's resolution to the representative from Westbus Windsor, when I was stopped on the resolution idea advised that Allan Shearan has popped out of the woods (probably because of the letter that he sent to the Whalan community last month), management representatives from Westbus , Saftey Managers and there is an agreeable route that is is in the pipeline that meets all safety issues.

Here it is from what we were told:
From Luxford Road after Waikanda Crescent, turn right into Gasmata Crescent, turn right into Moresby Crescent, and right into Samarai Road, then continuing by turning right into Luxford Road at the corner of Samarai and Luxford Roads - then onto Mount Druitt and reverse for the return trip. This is now pending bus stops to be considered on the new route - minimum 200 metres distance between each bus stop. The negative is - it is not a full service - it is the Shopper Hopper Service - 6 services per day, each way Monday to Friday and 2 services per day each way on Saturdays and one each way, each Sundays.

Yes this is a big win for Save Our Bus Services Mount Druitt And Surrounding Suburbs and mostly for the community that live around the Gasmata Crescent - Congratulation to all - all you people deserve all the credit not the local member who took away the bus services!

We we will, have a group meeting on 10th April 2010 to discuss this issue and other issues are that are pending or need to be addressed. The Mount Druitt community can now see that we can get things done to restore life's important transport services to where at least it was before - it is not going on the same route as before for reasons but now caters for residents in the far west of Whalan that had a long walk to get to the bus services - it may even create more community members to get bus to their destination. The bus route is Westbus 674 which is now looking to commence on 27th April 2010, pending Blacktown City Council Approval for bus route and bus new bus stops.!

Well done to the Mount Druitt community you are all lovely people! Each and every one of you!
