New South Wales Country Timetables.

Busways Gosford Route 58 - Due to a part closure of Woy Woy Road a temporary timetable for route 58 is in force commencing 14/5/2008 splitting it into two separate routes both under the route 58 guise:- To South Woy Woy and to Phegans Bay/Woy Woy Bay.

The return trip from Woy to Woy Woy Woy Bay now takes an hour instead of the previous 20 minutes. It now travels via West Gosford Shopping Centre and in a confusing way the connecting trip times to Gosford are now for departures from West Gosford Shopping Centre instead of Woy Woy.
