Re: SCOOP!!!! O'Driscoll Coaches NEW M.A.N.
This one is actually #24 not 25...
The old 24 was an Isuzu and old 25 was a Hino PMC.
Both sold off.

Re: Mona Roma Fast Catamaran
Yep, that boat has "Incat" written all over it in the design language....lots o little details all screaming out Incat.
Having spent 18 months in their design office I bet I could give a pretty fair guess at a lot of construction details in it!

Re: Hobart: Action plea on light rail
It HAS to go to at least Bridgewater or it won't work....
It also HAS to be integrated with the buses.
If there is still an X1 then people will just take it instead.
If the only bus in bridgewater ad Brighton and Claremont are feeder buses then people WILL take the light rail.

Re: tassie fires
It hasn't been good...I have a lot of friends around Dunalley as I live in the area for years.
I know most of them got out safely.
My brother's work burned down (5 minutes after he was told to leave!) but his house made it. Next door burned down.
