Guyra residents are now have direct public transport access to the Armidale CBD following changes to the NSW TrainLink coach network.
The changes took place on July 1st, allowing travellers from Guyra to take advantage an additional coach stop in Armidale, with passengers now able to board or alight from the Trainlink bus in the city centre in addition to the railway station.
A new Armidale–Port Macquarie return coach service has also been instigated, creating a direct public transport connection between the New England and the coast for the first time.
The service operates on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays, with onward train connections at Wauchope to Coffs Harbour, Grafton, the Northern Rivers, the Gold Coast and Brisbane.
The NSW government says the changes provides residents with greater transport options for medical appointments, holidays, visiting family, business travel and education, without the need to drive the entire journey.
The announcement forms part of a $290 million investment over the next nine years, representing a 36 per cent increase in funding for the NSW TrainLink coach network. Minister for Regional Transport Jenny Aitchison said the changes were designed in response to extensive community consultation and would strengthen connections for people living in rural and regional areas.
“We know that our NSW TrainLink coach services are crucial, connecting our rural and regional communities to health, education, family and friends,” she said.
Most services will now be operated by modern, wheelchair-accessible coaches equipped with a seating, seatbelts, onboard toilets, mobile phone charging points and defibrillators, improving comfort and safety for passengers.
