Isn't the idea to stand out?

I thought they may have gone for Country spacific liveries... Much like South Africa did with their buses for the Football.

1297 spotted on the motorway last week sporting "Go West" colours heading west on the southern motorway.

1904 &1914 spotted in Britomart this morning also in Go West livery.

Does anyone know where Bendy 2015 Is ? and Waka Pacific 1105 has gone?

Thanks !

Could this be possibly for the 014 service?

The North Star fleet seems really streched atm with 1200's, 1300's and 1700's all seen on peak services.

Where is 2015 allocated to at the moment? I haven't got it on the fleet lists for some reason.

So I'm assuming they were using those little MAN 10.100's for that run if my memory recalls? What's happening with them if 1297 and possibly 1296 end up at Swanson?

Today, whie out and about, I spied a brand new Fuso Bus for Ritchies on their Stray Travel network in the workshop at Keith Andrews Trucks in Manukau. It's #202 in their fleet.

Looks really good. I wonder if these are the same chassis as the Designline truck 'buses'?

Does it have Kiwi bodywork?

stadt80 · Post by **stadt80** » Fri Sep 16, 2011 2:38 pm

That's definately a Kiwi Body, much better looking than those aweful "Truck-Buses"!!

Thought so. Coachwork Central and Pheniox are both building buses on Mitsi truck chassis.

I noticed the explorer fleet rather stretched yesterday on the 10th with 2 cruise ships in.

1444 , 1445, 1446, have been transferred from Go West to North Star and have already been painted in North Star colours.

701 has been painted in Waka Pacific colours

Post by **Vitalstatistix** » Thu Oct 13, 2011 7:31 am

Do North Star have any other 1400's from previous transfers?

Mercman · Post by **Mercman** » Thu Oct 13, 2011 11:52 am

Not that i know of ,but could acquire some more

Post by **Vitalstatistix** » Thu Oct 13, 2011 2:16 pm

The North Star fleet must be pretty streched. On my last few visits up there NS based 1300's and 1700's were seen on regular peak services between Takapuna and Auckland.
