Transport for Brisbane Observations 2023

E2100 also has been upgraded with new driver barrier and camera mirrors - bus was doing Spring Hll Loops this morning.

There appears to be a fair few of the man CNGs of the 1230’s now at the garage at Garden City all now with G’s on them. Might be in the home stretch of transferring all remaining ones from Toowong.

T1900 and T1901 sighted @ Toowong Garage

Toowong 1240s and 1250s are now at Garden City all with Gs on exterior

Wonder if this is a short term Sherwood or Carina loan or if this is what's needed to help retire the 18.310 CNGs.

Will be for two things, Toowong will be all diesel by the start of next year and S is taking on a decent amount of 130/140/150 work from W and G. So there will be some B12 transfers as well.

I’ve just past T1901 heading to the city on Milton Road. After reading previous posts I’m guessing 1901-1910 are new transfers. Looked weird as I’m used to T1200s and T1000s with this body type.

1351-1364 G > W (Saw on anytrip doing some of Willawong exclusive route)

also if the MAN Gas move to garden city, would that mean garden city is overflowing bus and toowong is shortage of bus (Unless they send more 19xx to Toowong from Carina but that cause carina Loss of bus). Is it possible in the future garden city will pickup more shift to replace sherwood shift. Sherwood shift will concern on Western suburb route (To replace some of Toowong shift). Or if toowong get carina bus Garden city more pickup on some carina shift?.

You sorta answer your own question there, obviously looks like buses from T -> G, then G -> W, which presumably displaces buses from W, which should bring the swaps full circle.

[TheDragonFire123]

C1858 (that famous bus that caused so much confusion when its transponder reported a 15xx fleet number) appears to be Carina's Christmas Lights competition bus.

T1904 is out today doing 385’s and 361’s.

Also noted E2831 is now S2831? E appears to still have 2829, 2830 and 2832-38, unsure why sherwood would take a single B8?
Unless this is a temporary switch, it seems likely they are going to received all of E’s B8’s (excluding QUT B8’s 2880-2883)?

Can confirm I saw an S2800 class bus doing a 444 today, could be S2831?

S transfering B7's (205x numbered) to C
C transfering B7's (19xx numbered) to T
T transfering Gas MAN's to G
G transfering Gas MAN's to W
S will recieve B12's iin the new year from W or G or both

As far as I can see only E and V missing out on this game of musical chairs

Could be 2831 or 2894 - 2899.

But yes 2831 is at S, quietly transferred a month or two ago
