Community pressure has forced Transport Minister David Campbell to reinstate the 755 service between Mt Druitt and Shalvey.

And, there could be more good news for isolated Gasmata Crescent residents at Whalan if safety concerns are resolved this week they will get access to a re-diverted 674 service.

The reversed decision comes three weeks after Mr Campbell met community campaigners.

The 755 will run along its old route but every second trip will be extended to Plumpton Marketplace between 9am and 5pm, Monday to Saturday.

The 755 service will run weekdays between 5am and 10pm, with a half-hourly service between 6am and 8am and hourly during other times.

It will run between 6am and 8pm on Saturdays with a half-hourly service between 9am and 5pm and hourly between 9am and 5pm on Sundays.

The Save Our Bus Service lobby group formed late last year to fight for the 755 service and improved services to Gasmata Crescent.

State MPs Allan Shearan and Richard Amery paid tribute to the residents' persistence.

Group spokeswoman Debbie Robertson was over the moon about last week's news.

The extended services to Plumpton were an unexpected surprise but she believed that next year's state election may have something to do with it.

``It's proof that people power prevails when the community sticks together,'' she said.

``Just because there's change doesn't mean you have to accept it, especially when it impacts on so many people's lives.''

Mrs Robertson also welcomed recommendations mentioned in last week's Star from a recent independent inquiry into the public transport system.

``It's about time this is what we've been saying all along.''
