I pulled my phone out and got this shot of the sole TNSW Gassie today. I don't think TNSW suits this bus as well as corporate.

Agreed, I don't think it suits the real bus or the TG model.

Liking it is a matter of taste.

What is surprising is how often I see it. Mainly along Anzac Pde, maybe 3 to 4 times per week. Not hard to miss.

Considering P has 242 buses, plus a lot of R (and W) services thrown in when I'm out and about. What are the odds ?

Also surprising is that this bus was repainted nearly 5 years ago but none have been done since.

What me may have seen if we didn't have a Coalition government in 1989.

I am not sure what this has to do with the type of government we had at that time but I do like the photoshops which I am always keen to use in the photo gallery.

why repaint those gassies when they are being cut up & disposed off................the whole repainted scheme seams to have come to a HALT! :twisted: ITS like the idea of all in the one colour scheme has lost its gloss by some paper pusher in TRANSPORT FOR N.S.W but watch if a operater deceided to do his own colour scheme,They would be down on them like a ton of bricks! I have had to deal with them over a matter for over 3 months & have been passed over to at least 6 differernt people .The minute it becomes to hard,Your fobbed of to some other pen pusher who knows even less! :evil: :twisted: Untill you go to your local member.Then someones arse gets kicked & it moves a bit further up the chain! :shock: :roll:

It seems nothing much has changed in government departments since the 1960s. It's just dressed differently.

If you complain to your local member, all he/she gets is a pre-prepared bit of spin which he/she doesn't understand and usually has little or nothing to do with the complaint, and he passes this on to you.

Some-one gets their ass kicked? gee you are out of touch. :shock: :lol:
