I'm going rail replacement spotting tomorrow. I'm hoping to see some buses operated by Caboolture bus lines and I really want to see the L94UB CR227L's Thompson's got from sky bus.

Thompsons has taken delivery of 2 brand new Volvo B8RLE Volgren Optimus buses numbered 009GJT and 010GJT. These will most likely be replacing the 2 remaining Renault Agora’s.
Will post photos as soon as I can ride one.

Re: Rail and private operator observations 2024
For several months now a Clark's Bustech Electric (in a special maroon Indigenous livery, by the looks) has been marooned at a bus dealer beside Stable Swamp Creek by Ipswich Rd in Rocklea. Evidently something has gone majorly wrong with the bus - anyone heard anything about it?
Re: Rail and private operator observations 2024
Not sure of the problem - but where it is located is not just a bus dealer. It is also where Bustech is now located.

Kangaroo Bus Lines has a new Volvo B8 Volgren 143 (not seen rego yet) running around, seen in Redcliffe. Also the first one I’ve seen with the company logo on the rear end.

They should have 2 new ones, according to the deliveries spreadsheet for last month.Skyblue1 wrote:Kangaroo Bus Lines has a new Volvo B8 Volgren 143 (not seen rego yet) running around, seen in Redcliffe. Also the first one I’ve seen with the company logo on the rear end.
