Wonder if Thomson’s will now rid itself of those white single deckers and red triaxle all from Vic? Also what spec are the new ones? Same as standard or more luggage space for scooters bikes and luggage?

Kangaroo Bus Lines has a new Volvo B8 Volgren 143 (not seen rego yet) running around, seen in Redcliffe. Also the first one I’ve seen with the company logo on the rear end.

9003 is being ran up and down the southern busway, seen it 3 times now this week at Roma Street. No letter prefix yet tho.

Seen E9001 at Roma Street just now on test.

Lots of changes for BCC including 1229/1230/1231 being withdrawn, 1045 being refurbished and lots of transfers.

Just seen T1914 on a 475 at Roma Street.

Currently on 1563 ex Transperth TP1563. Loving the variety of buses at the moment.

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.

TP1569 was withdrawn in April 2020 with Swan Transit but reinstated in Nov 2023.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.

Seems a few new buses on the RR runs today. Veolia have many running the R618 plus a silver Volgren numbered 1569 and silver Thompsons 78 was the silver volgren is o405NH and with black stripe at the top. Like Ths . If that bus that is 1563 not 1569. (This number is the one that they use on Transpe...

I was on CDC 8803MO with Canberra logo’s. Very quiet and comfy drive tbh.
Now how do I get a tri axle from Thompson!!! Lol

I’m currently on Wide Bay Transit Scania 120 on rail replacement to Northgate which was ex BCC 803. Classic.

Currently on all scania Wide Bay Transit 120 to Northgate. What a shed but classic. Also it’s ex BCC 803.

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...

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.

So much variety on the rail replacement services from Roma St to Northgate. Main operator is Thompsons with what looks like registered into stock ex Ventura Buslines, Dandenong VIC, caboolture bus lines, Mt Gravatt and Kinetic stock from Gold Coast to name a few. Also seen a Volgren in white with NS...

There is a temporary bus park at Eagle Farm tafe for Thompsons for rail replacement. Lots of hired in dealer stock being used including a tri axle Volgren in all over red with sun visors. I was on CBL37 this morning. Seems Thompsons have a tri axle double decker same being used by Translink on the G...

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.

Great.

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.

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.

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...
