That Franklins Volvo B10m with the Denning galaxy bodywork is nice. Is that coach an auto or a manual?

If I was with Transit Systems, I would put my hand up to go up there and take something back. I wouldn't mind driving one of those low floor Mercs down to Sydney.

Port Stephens m/o 8420 has just been painted in the TfNSW livery.

When I was taking dad to work this morning, I notice at Port Stephens Coaches, Anna Bay NSW, they have a brand new Volvo B7R. Exactly the same as their 4664 MO (new in November 2008) and 4669 MO (new in September 2009). Not registered yet and still plain white That bus has now been registered m/o 8...

Rovers and Port Stephens/Newcastle Coaches will be doing the shuttle bus service for this event.

ACTION BUS 490 had a very short life. What a waste of a good bus!

Does anybody know if any of these Autobus bodied Volvo B10M's from Veolia are automatic or are they all manual?

Ex Brisbane Transport Volvo B10m Austral 236BIQ is at Port Stephens not registered yet. When ready it will go to Sandgate Depot to replace 3127MO.

Very good single door conversion that Buswest have done on that ex Brisbane Volvo B10m, I also wouldn't mind seeing what the inside where the rear door was removed looks like also.

Great to see some examples of PMC bodied buses still going around in Tassie!

Ex Hawkesford's International MCA Cummins L10 ex (42) TV 1866 was acquired from Manheim Auctions and is currently at Port Stephens.

The third artic they have acquired from BT has been painted white and is currently unregistered . Only other gen I have at the moment is that it is ex BT (380) 380FRI ex Willawong Depot.

Photo's not bad concidering the weather, always good to see Crawn's Motor's one of the few operators that have a full livery these day's, I think the livery really suits the Custom SB50 MAN A91 they have :D I agree with that. The Crawn's livery looks very good on the Customs SB50 body I reckon. :P

Some nice buses that Hunter Valley Coaches had back then. I wonder where the location of the Hunter Valley Coaches Depot was at?

The new Bustech XDi at Port Stephens is registered m/o 9478. The new bus is not in service yet.

Nice shots there Swift, this is for all the Volvo B10m fans out there
