Right....... (rolls eyes)

State Transit (Sydney) O305's would be great! Especially Mk.II's!

Bus in this morning's accident on the Expressway was M/O 200. Shame too, I love that bus!

G'day guys and girls,

Just wondering if you know if Hillsbus or Busways would actually pay for a drivers Authority Card if they needed it and they were willing to employ them for a set minimum period to pay it off?

Also, does anyone know if Ryde are looking for new drivers at all?

Cheers!

Nathan

I'd like to inform you all that as of the 10/MAR this year, Bessie the Bus officially went to the HISTORICAL VEHICLES REGISTER! Her owner has informed me her new rego is 50117H and is now a member of the Omnibus Preservation Society in Junee! The bus is now parked up at RAAF Base Wagga (where her cu...

Your getting this from someone who is in the employ of a Holden dealer so I can assure you this is legit. Holden will only be ceasing manufacturing here in Australia. The future for the company will be going to an all-import business. Cars will still be bought and sold and badged as Holden for quite...

Not quite sure as this happened well before I drove past. Pretty sure it was coolant coming out.

Taken this morning via my rear vision mirror. Damage to OSR substantial and leaking fluid. This was at 7.30am on Church Street.

Don't know who told you that, but their facts are wrong! Definitely wont be used for that purpose as it will be moving to a new home come end of the year. I happen to be a staff member at that particular AAFC Squadron. When we want transport for an activity we source an ADF vehicle.

I can but I might look like a bit of a thread hog

Carter Road, Menai

I'm out, but I reckon its somewhere on the 962....

Owners choice, just to be different.

Why do I get the impression here that everyone is out to get Transit Systems? I seem to see nothing but attack after attack after attack, with only a few people coming to the rescue to say to give them some time to work things out. They have identified problems and are working to rectify them but yo...

After eight long hours slog, I ended up getting the rear route number wiring re-soldered, the side desto cover put back on and the ticket bins at the rear door reattached. Doesn't sound like a lot of work, but it was a fair effort! http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q1/CaptainKarta/Mobile%20Uploads/...

Thanks guys. I do agree; personally I would have gone with the trial refurb livery as there are none of those preserved. Either that or UTA livery....

I will endeavour to find out the origin of the Bessie name. He's told me, but I just cant remember.... I'll also try and get some more photos up.

Hey, I'm not arguing something I can't change. Personally, and as bland as it may have been, I would have done it in its McGrath refurb livery as I'm sure there isn't a single one of those restored.

Owner is restoring it to 'as retired'.

Just two pics to update this thread a little.... Taken back in late June... https://fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-frc3/q71/s720x720/1456015_10152689236464298_760304453_n.jpg And just last night, I finally got the side desto wiring reconnected. The owner is now very happy! https://fbcdn-s...

Birrong or Yagoona?

And its missing its headlight surrounds. The MkII is even worse shape, missing a surround and a headlight, and a nearside mirror. Good thing is it still has its original taillight panels with round lights!

Spotted ex-STA 2559 O305G and ex-STA MkII 2153 at St Mary's and up for sale. Anyone wanna split it?

Keep on forgetting that eh...

Western Sydney mate, St Marys area. I'm pretty willing to travel if need be.

Thanks boronia, I sussed that out already.

Just seeing if anyone knew anyone particularly good and preferably 'cheap'
