Re: [NSW] North and Western routes

["Hubert Lam" <hubert@imap4.com>]

All of N&W's buses are now targetted "G" (Gladesville). Much of the routes now are operated by the
STA fleet

However I don't see any new buses (Mercedes Bens O405N) going to Burwood Depot. I've seen one from
Port Botany, but the rest are from Ryde. The newest Burwood depot has are the Volvo B10BLE, but most
go on to routes such as 401/3; 436/7/8 and L38.
