THE woman killed by a bus in Sydney's CBD was about to retire and start a new life on a farm they had bought, her husband said.
Bruce Gentle said Christine Mulholland, 51, had left work an hour early and was walking to the train station so she could join him to watch one of her beloved greyhounds race at Richmond.
She was freed from under the bus in a painstaking two-hour rescue effort by emergency services but had severe injuries to her lower body.
She died in hospital early yesterday. Ms Mulholland was hit just after 3.30pm on Clarence St and dragged for 20 metres under the bus before it came to a stop.

"She wasn't my wife, she was my mate. We were together for 33 years," he said.
"I'm shattered."
He described Ms Mulholland as a country girl at heart and said they had recently bought a farm at Hill End.
"She loved the greyhounds. We raced them a couple of times a month," he said.
Her father Pat Mulholland last night said his only daughter was his "everything".
"She was just one of those happy-go-lucky people. She was there if you needed her, everytime. I just can't believe it," he said.
Several witnesses returned to the site of the accident yesterday to lay flowers.
The 70-year-old driver of the bus was on stress leave from work yesterday and has been offered counselling.
