As reported in the Herald, Scott Macarthur has started a weekend only bus service between Pt Chev and Newmarket. From Pt Chev, the service runs Pt Chev / Meola / Moa / Gt North Road, before crossing under the motorway to run along Levona / Fourth Ave / New North Rd / View Rd / Mountain Rd / Khyber Pass / Broadway.
The east-bound timetable is here in PDF form: Pt Chev – Newmarket East Timetable. The west-bound timetable is here. We wish Scott all the best with this service, it is great to see an independent giving it a go.
