Request: Park Ridge Optare Tempo
Anyone spotted Park Ridge's Optare Tempo, PRT 030? I'm interested to see how the Translink livery looks on this bus.

Re: Request: Park Ridge Optare Tempo
There are a couple of photos of it on the South East Queensland Buses and Transportation Facebook page, but otherwise, i haven't seen it in the flesh or on this forum.

Re: Request: Park Ridge Optare Tempo
What engine do these come with, when it went past me the other day, it sounded like a Merc.

It's the same engine as what they use in most Euro V OC500LEs and Citaros...1of55 wrote:racingnathan according to the Optare web site the engine is a Mercedes-Benz OM906LA, Euro 5 (SCR), six-cylinder turbo diesel. Capacity6.37 litres.

Optare offers the choice of Cummins or Mercedes engines in their vehicles.

Re: Request: Park Ridge Optare Tempo
Incorrect. The OC 500 LEs have a horizontal 6-cylinder, 11.967-litre engine - model OM 457 hLA. The Tempo has a lighter duty engine, a 6.374-litre OM 906 LA - the vertical version of what was once found on the Citaros.crazyturbo76 wrote:It's the same engine as what they use in most Euro V OC500LEs and Citaros...

Re: Request: Park Ridge Optare Tempo
I know this is a bit off topic- but does anyone have a decent photo of PRT 005 (MAN 10.155 Custom Coaches 510)? I had it at Toowoomba yesterday, and liked how unusual it was.

Re: Request: Park Ridge Optare Tempo
There was a thread on here from a couple of years ago I think it was titled qconnect Toowoomba or something like that. Do a forum search and see if you can find it. If not I believe I have a photo of it pre-qconnect livery. If I find it I can send it to you.

Re: Request: Park Ridge Optare Tempo
I had a look and couldn't find any photos of PRT 005. It isn't currently in Qconnect livery anyway.James00 wrote:There was a thread on here from a couple of years ago I think it was titled qconnect Toowoomba or something like that.

Interesting that the centre door on 032 is much further back than 030/031..

Re: Request: Park Ridge Optare Tempo
That's because 30/31 were stock models whereas 32 was ordered straight from the factory for the customer.James00 wrote:Interesting that the centre door on 032 is much further back than 030/031..
Re: Request: Park Ridge Optare Tempo
Interior of PRT 032, with the centre door further back than PRT 030 and PRT 031.
