Re: Bus Observations 2024.

A slight tracking cockup from NextThere on some Volgren CR228L MAN 18.320 HOCL-R-NLs on my route at the moment… (sighted on both TSA 1122 as per the screenshot below, and 1133) https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240412/9df48bb6144afe30e78bee367596e4ad.jpg No; there are no buses of this kind at TSA, ...

Looks like boundary lines in footy are nothing more than a decoration or a suggestion these days.

Ahh McUmps. You did it again.

Failed to call out of bounds with two BU’s either side and an easy goal to Saints.

Re: What gives you the S&#T's!?

So I heard from a recent news bulletin that there’s going to be some sort of yet another road safety study involving TfNSW maybe sometime in March or something, and one of the ideas to be looked at is rolling out point-to-point average speed cameras for cars. Yeah, NO. TfNSW can absolutely p**s righ...

Re: Bus Observations 2024.

There have been recent additions to the CDC NSW Fleet lists by means of those Volgren Optimus B8RLEs. The depot codes on those listings point out that the ones currently being borrowed up north at the moment to assist with their bustitutions are linked with CDC’s Sawtell (Forest Coaches) and Canberr...

Re: Bus Observations 2023

In the context of this discussion, Transit Systems would need to keep region 2 and region 3 vehicles based at the same depot separate, as I believe they operate on different accreditations. Spot on. TSA Region 3 is accredited under “Transit Systems NSW” and TSA Region 2 is under something like “Tra...

Re: Bus Observations 2023

It’s a similar situation as to why the CD Elements that are ultimately bound for Kingsgrove had to face a temporary residence at Smithfield. There’s limited space and there’s only so much that TSA can do with the equipment they have. Hoxton Park has the space and it’s under the same company. Yes, it...

Re: Bus Observations 2023

Depending on the hardware, it sounds like U-Go’s destinations might be suffering from the Hanover (presumably) sign itself physically set onto a different “switch” to the corresponding sign on the programme. This is quite common with inherited fleets from multiple operators. Not difficult to diagno...

Re: Bus Observations 2023

I think this has been mentioned before but is there a legal or contractual requirement about destination displays? I saw a U-Go bus the other day and the only number on the front display was “9.” 9 what exactly? Was this a flipdot board? For bus operators that have buses with both flipdot and LED d...

Re: Can't login to Railpage

Couldn’t do it either when trying to check on any updates for DVA, but at least the developer is using GitHub at the moment.

Seriously, I just love how even Metro Trains has less disruptions and outages than Railpage.

Re: Bus Observations 2023

Because at one stage TSA appears to have had two buses with fleet number 1293 - the Mercedes withdrawn in 2020 which is not that long ago and m/o 5739 the Volvo B7RLE which would have been acquired prior to 2020 possibly ex Hopkinsons with region 3, but I cant find that part of its history in the f...

Re: Bus Observations 2023

And looks like we’ve got an answer now for NextThere and AnyTrip if anyone wants to do a rego search for a bus; type it as ‘MO1234’ or ‘1234MO’ (I just tried it with 6870 which was on the 817 just a few minutes ago by searching ‘MO6870’ and it worked.)
