Route 535 is a train replacement bus route running from Parramatta Interchange to Carlingford. The route commenced service on 6th January 2020, replacing the Sydney Trains T6 Carlingford Line, which is being converted to light rail as part of the Parramatta Light Rail project.
Services run every 15 minutes, a notable upgrade from the 30 minute frequency of the former Carlingford Line trains, with the route mostly following along the corridor of the old line to service affected customers until light rail services commence in 2023. As with other train replacement buses, Opal charges train fares (not bus) on this route.
The service is operated by Hillsbus.
