BT Scanias

[daveeyh]

A number of V Scanias have been on the move - 827, 828, 829 and 830 have all appeared at G.

Guess that means that some G Scanias may have been withdrawn...

Five Scanias listed for auction at Manheim on Friday 10 August 2018 - 640, 642, 680, 692 and 706.

These Scania CNG buses are really weak when climbing. I am sure I would be late for school if I get a ride with a Scania CNG. By the way, what will be the next model for 12.5m fleet? Will it be B8RLE or some new brands? To be honest, I like the MAN 19.320 Euro6 and the low floor chassis is better. I know that Volgren can do the bodywork for a low floor bus. Emmmm, but all of these are my hope.

Can anyone confirm whether the following Scanias have also been withdrawn (as I have not seen them in service for a few weeks)?

Update 09.09.2018: V697 no longer in service - parked outside Toowong Workshops today with Cubic equipment removed.

V694 is no longer in service - parked outside Toowong Workshops with Cubic equipment removed (parked with V706).

Still looking to confirm whether G673, G674, G675, G682, G684, G686, V744 and V821 are still in service.

Listed for auction on the Manheim website yesterday were V813 and V825 (both still there today) with note that "Crane / UnderLift Tow Required" - funny thing is V813 was in service this morning at Toombul.
