Re: Murrays fleet notes:
Noticed an Explorer at Central today for the 16:00 service, seemed to have different tailiights to the normal BCI set up. Possibly TV-6318 or similar.boronia wrote:ABC reports that Murrays acquired a further 7 BCI Explorers C58Ftaw in October.

Re: Murrays fleet notes:
Thanks, appears to be one of the brand new 2011 deliveries for Murrays, and I did a little checking and there could be as many as 18 or more in the latest batch reg. in Sydney. Now all we need is some fleet numbers & rego.'s for positive sightings.boronia wrote:Noticed an Explorer at Central today for the 16:00 service, seemed to have different tailiights to the normal BCI set up.

Murrays fleet notes:
What a smart place to put the wheelchair lift. You get to keep the bin space and use useless space over the drive wheel.
