Re: The Metroliners (B10M mk3 and mk4)
A friend of mine took a photo at Granville Station a few weeks ago and it was like being in Brisbane again. Southside Bus & Coach, Coastal Liner, Telford's, Out 'n' About and others all had mk3 and mk4 Metroliners out and it was a sight to see! And I was lucky enough to be driving a good one
Only issue is I started at 2am, it was freezing, and there was an open outlet in the floor beside the accelerator letting cold air blow up in my face. Thankfully the demisters on these are brilliant so it didn't matter!

Reality continues to ruin my life.

Seen a metroliner today in Scarborough with white ends and blue and white on the sides. Might be another one for Red & White, not sure as yet.

Re: The Metroliners (B10M mk3 and mk4)
There are currently no B10Ms listed on Manheims for disposal.
Anyone know whether BT has now sold all their B10Ms?
If not, which ones are still to go?

611 and 612 (ex 264 and 41) are still in Adelaide. They were fitted with new LED destos, and have just re-entered service after a while off the road. They aren't used much, and will be removed either this year or next year.
First person on 822, 865 (2016 re-route).
Last person on 164, 867, 868

Re: The Metroliners (B10M mk3 and mk4)
There are two Metros that live in a yard that I drive past everyday. Will try and get a pic next time I head down that way.
*edit*
Was able to find one on GoogleSV of one hiding up the back, they have since been moved closer to the road however.

Re: The Metroliners (B10M mk3 and mk4)
I believe that 611 and 612 (ex-264 and 41) have orange LED destos. They won't be in service for much longer; they have nearly reached the 25-year age limit on AdMet buses.Campbelltown busboy wrote:How many MK4 Metroliners received the orange destos and route number box destos on the side and rear

Look here a MK3 from 1993 for sale though Baxters omnibus sales and I went though the MK3 list on the BT fleet page looking for a bus with a vin ending in 030457 and 301 matched that vin
