Transport NSW announced that an unforeseen number of bus drivers from the Hills District, in greater western Sydney, called in sick on Wednesday.

It comes the morning after the Melbourne Cup race day celebrations when many revellers traditionally choose to spend their winnings in the pub.

A Transport NSW spokesman confirmed to Daily Mail Australia the driver absences.
