ADVERTISING FEATURE: Port Stephens Coaches offering daily Sydney service

FROM 20 December, Port Stephens Coaches will expand the Sydney Express timetable to a daily service (excluding Christmas Day).

“This shift from four services a week to daily operations reflects strong community demand for simple, reliable and comfortable travel between Port Stephens and Sydney,” the team said.

“It gives residents more choice and flexibility for regular city trips, weekend visits and onward transport connections.”

Travellers can board close to home, with more than 40 pick-up points across Port Stephens, including Nelson Bay, Shoal Bay, Salamander Bay, Fingal Bay, Soldiers Point, Anna Bay and Corlette.

“This broad coverage supports residents who prefer not to drive or navigate multiple transport modes,” the team said.

In Sydney, the Sydney Express stops at Central Station, offering direct access to trains, light rail, major transport links and key city destinations.

The service also stops at Hornsby, Pymble and Chatswood, with Ourimbah available on request in both directions.

These locations make it easy to connect with medical precincts, education hubs, retail areas and other travel services.

The morning service departs Port Stephens from 8.25am and arrives at Central Station by 12.35pm, giving travellers a relaxed and predictable arrival window.

The afternoon return departs Central at 1.45pm and arrives across Port Stephens from 4.50pm onwards.

Travellers enjoy air-conditioned, seat-belted coaches equipped with onboard restrooms and a 20kg luggage allowance. Affordable fares and simple booking options keep the service accessible for all ages.

“The move to daily operations strengthens the connection between Port Stephens and Sydney, making travel easier, more convenient and more dependable for the community.”
