Re: 1977 volvo b58 coach leaking water into oil

Re: Menai vs Deanes vs Southtrans
Mostly correct just a small error, Barry Smith was the previous owner of Menai Bus Service and had died prior to the sale of the business by his wife Carol to Ron Deane. Ron Smith was the workshop forman at Menai Depot after the take over of Menai Bus service. -

Re: Friday Flashback: South Western Bedfords & the Bendy
Chrome anything was a pipe dream at South Western, we stuck to brakes steering suspension, which was hard enough considering a fleet of 20 bedfords 2 scania's and a Volvo bendy in 1986. Most of the bedfords completing up to 14 hours a day on a high traffic route of Hurstville Miranda.

Re: "Adios" Veolia No 88 and 89
7517 was another good vehicle from the Woronora fleet, no reason why the chassis / engine combination won't continue for many years. And yes it will be the same operator.
