This is possibly the one I passed on the train a few days ago - it was sitting in a yard in Yatala.

Good to see CBL and Red and White out on rail this weekend for something different. As is Murrays.

West's National Coaches (of Nambour) provided some vehicles out there today along the usual KBL and Glasshouse Coaches vehicles for rail replacement on the Caboolture to Gympie North leg.

Interesting to see it operated by Park Ridge and Westside - I thought it was going to be operated solely by Westside.

Nice photos, btw. I'll have to head out there sometime this week.

Considering they are owned by the same company, who cares.

PRT002 might just be on loan and been operated by westside? Who knows. That bus was at westside for a while when it was new as 537LMJ.

True. Maybe it's been transferred there permanently help cover the 535, and just hasn't/isn't going to be re-registered.

[James00]

Well this route will only operate till next year wont it? When the rail opens. So a short term transfer is probably all it is, if it is actually a transfer. Lol. All just speculation.

A Sunbus MDI was at Stop 'D' at Caboolture Station yesterday at around 6pm on the UNI shuttle.

It unloaded 20 pax just at Cab stn

After a couple of days I see more people are out using the new Thompsons runs. Very good to see
