Re: Rail and private operator observations 2024

Currently on 101 GJT ex Skybus 60 Victoria tri axle. Must say the interior is real nice. Would be great as school buses but need the drivers side luggage racks ripping out for more seating.

Re: Rail and private operator observations 2024

TP1569 was withdrawn in April 2020 with Swan Transit but reinstated in Nov 2023. Whether this is back with Swan or sold on I’m not sure but if I see it again I’ll get a pic. Info on Perthbus website.

Re: Rail and private operator observations 2024

Logan coaches have the Bustech 0405NH's. The white volgrens on NSW plates are new for CDC. If you jump on Flickr and look up Matthew Browne you'll find a heap of pics with details of who owns what. Thanks mate. I’ll have a look for sure. A side note I seen ex Hornibrook 45 this morning heading to N...

Re: Rail and private operator observations 2024

Does anyone know who owns XO 49 WN at all? Seen at Northgate on Rail replacement newly repainted in Translink green / white it looks like a Bustech Mercedes 0405NH. There was another one parked up on the same street.

Re: Transport for Brisbane Observations 2023

I’ve just past T1901 heading to the city on Milton Road. After reading previous posts I’m guessing 1901-1910 are new transfers. Looked weird as I’m used to T1200s and T1000s with this body type.

Re: Regional Bus Contracts

Not sure if this is the right thread but the ex Hornibrook Buslines (Clontarf, QLD) volgrens that were transferred to LinkSA for Mount Gambier services, can anyone let me know if they are there and which ones are actually in service at all?? Pics would be fab. Thanks in advance. 😁

Re: Hornibrook Buslines

117 is here also. It would make sense that 107-115 (exc 111) would be there as none of this batch have been seen back here, especially 107/108.

Re: Hornibrook Buslines

Red Volgren 116 is back in service being seen at Kippa Ring train station yesterday. I thought this batch 109-116 (minus 111) had gone to SA to help out till their new buses come on service? Also seen was Translink Green 47. Looking at LinkSA's fleetlists and post on LinkedIn, the only buses that s...

Re: Hornibrook Buslines

8 buses have been transferred to Keolis SA and another 2 sold to a local SEQ operator. No numbers yet but seems 109-117 May have gone to SA (not 111 of course) and 107/108 maybe to Red and White? Just an assumption. 118 was in Kippa Ring last week. 109-117 is correct. They will be based at Mt Gambi...
