190X is a peak-hour express bus service operated by Keolis Downer Northern Beaches between Avalon and Wynyard station. The route and its predecessors are well known for its ocean scenery along the journey [1] and have been popular with hikers planning to walk from Palm Beach back towards Sydney.[2] For many years the route was also the longest commuter bus route in metropolitan Sydney at 45 kilometres (28 mi) [3] when operating from Palm Beach. In March 2013 Australian diecast model company Transit Graphics released a 1:76 scale model of a Mercedes-Benz O305 bus operating on route L90.[4]
