Did you happen to notice that one route cancelled was 520 Parrmatta to
Wynyard (usually Circular Quay) and it suggested that the alternative
was train. When was a line commissioned between Parramatta, Ermington,
Gladesville, Drumoyne and the city? Should they not have advised 540 and
501 with discount fares (both STA services)

Also, I don't believe that train is a viable alternative for the airport
services 100, 300, 350 for luggage considerations. Yes people do use
them with luggage. At least the 400 wasn't mentioned.
