Many a time, I have caught the 370 home from Glebe Point Road after checking stocks of Annandale Short Walk books at Gleebooks I even once went on a Joy Ride on the Light Rail to Randwick but decided to return on the 370 as the Tram was so slow. Another time we went to a wedding at Coogee - sadly there were no buses to get us home! The pottery studio at UNSW and a lecture have also been a reason to catch the 370. It connects the Newtown Performing Arts School to NIDA.  A weekend 370 bus service from Annandale to Coogee Beach was introduced in the 1940s. Buses ran every 20 minutes via Newtown and St Peter's Station to Beach Street, Coogee.
