BY IAN CROUCH

Newcastle's public transport operator, Keolis Downer says it's confident it can handle the influx of commuters for the Supercars weekend.

It comes after the announcement of a further 300 bus services being scheduled for the event.

Keolis Downer is also altering the bus routes from Monday week to cater for the closure of Watt Street.

CEO, Campbell Mason says the revised services will continue to run before and after the race.

"Those services will continue to operate through until the event service timetable starts on the 24th to the 26th and then it will resume again after the event and continue through to the 30th until the track awnings etc and grandstands are taken away," he said.
