New bus service connecting Northern Tablelands towns

27th Jan 2026

A proposed new bus service is hoping to fill transport needs for local residents, with the Northern Express officially opening bookings for a Glen Innes to Armidale return bus service, which includes a scheduled stop in Guyra.
Anthony Wright from Glen Innes is behind the new service, which he is hoping will prove viable. While he had hoped to begin services this week, the lack of bookings meant the service could not run. He hopes that once word gets and bookings start to come in that the service will be able to operate on a regular basis.
His vision was born out of a growing community need for reliable and accessible transport services to surrounding towns in the Northern Tablelands.
“We recognised the importance of enabling residents to enjoy improved shopping opportunities, seamless connections to airports and interstate bus companies, and convenient access to specialist services,” he said.
“At Northern express we are committed to delivering safe, comfortable, and dependable travel experiences. We take great pride in knowing that our services not only meet a vital community need but also strengthen social and economic connections across the region.”
The Glen Innes to Armidale service is scheduled to operate on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. Timetables, fares and online bookings are now available through the Northern Express website.
Southbound services are scheduled to leave Guyra at 8.24 am and 1.12pm, with stops at the Armidale visitors Centre and Armidale Airport. North bound services are proposed to depart Armidale at 9.50am and 2.25pm.
Additional services are already in the pipeline, including a proposed cross-border connection linking into the Crisps Coaches timetable from Stanthorpe to Brisbane return, which is currently awaiting Queensland Government approval.
