Transport

There have been quite a few calls over the last few weeks regarding overcrowding on the morning Eastern Suburbs and 560 bus from Hunters Hill. The service providers and the school have been closely monitoring both services and working on solutions to address these issues.

Eastern Suburbs Bus

The College will be leasing a larger bus for the Eastern Suburbs run for the “problem days” of Tuesday and Wednesday.

Hunters Hill 560

There have been a number of boys being refused entry on to the STA government bus 560 route at Drummoyne due to overcrowding. This occurs mainly on Mondays and Fridays.

The overcrowding occurs at Drummoyne, so having a second government bus originate at Rozelle has not alleviated the situation. Newington has requested that State Transit send two buses from Ryde depot in the morning instead of one from Ryde and one from Leichhardt depot.

Newington College has supplied the STA with the numbers of boys living in the Hunters Hill/Drummoyne area and they are working on a solution.
