Of course I was happy,, operating the inaugural Decker service from the Hills to the City, and then the first service from the City back to the Hills was certainly a priviledge.
Being a part of transport history in the Hills and Sydney in general is not something that happens every day

Does anyone have a feel for how the this trial is going??
Are they popular or was this just a fleeting return of Double deckers in Sydney and these 8 will be the lot??

Maybe Bustech could open a facility in England and bid to supply London and others -minus the extra axle of course.
NSW, the state that embraces mediocrity.

I knew they had been around for a few years, but I didn't think it was as long as ten.

In all seriousness Swift the only "Australian Deckers" likely to sell are the BCI's which have flopped majorly in the uk Market. think only Ensign and ACL have them from memory
