A bus driver facing dozens of charges over a crash that killed 10 wedding guests in New South Wales has been formally charged with 10 counts of manslaughter.
Brett Andrew Button, who is now facing 89 charges in relation to the crash, did not appear when the matter was heard in Newcastle Local Court on Wednesday.
The additional 26 charges laid in court today included 10 counts of manslaughter and a further 16 counts of "drive furiously in motor vehicle causing bodily harm".
Magistrate Ian Cheetham said Button's bail would continue.
"I make a bail determination in accordance with the bail Mr Button is currently subject to," he said.
The family of Rebecca Mullen, who died in the June crash, was in the courtroom.
The matter is set to return to court on 13 March.
