Hung Long Video Store in Box Hill aswell. Just opposite the Station Street Entrance to the Bus Terminus.

seen this afternoon coming off the monash fwy and turning onto springvale road was an unkown canary yellow national MAN/CB30. Also noted parked in a hotel carpark next to Knox City this afternoon was a young at heart/Dysons Mitsubishi Rosa. Seems unusual to stay at accomodation when the depot is in...

It should be noted, that Connex deserves a good pat on the back for yesterdays performance. Yesterday I think was the first day in the history of Connex Melbourne, that slightly bad weather hasnt caused a catastrophic meltdown of the rail network. And for that, credit must be given.

These are my photos, if you use them without my consent I will use the law to make everything that is yours mine. With that, enjoy. Daz While being no legal expert, I doubt as far as the law goes, you have any legal standing regarding the use of your photos. Unless you have gone to the trouble of c...

Its comments like these that make me think Daniel Bowen is a man of little substance, and merely like having a whinge and getting his "Luna Park" sized teeth on Television on a weekly basis. Daniel Bowen has neglected to mention that the two routes he has highlighted were, for lack of a be...

My guess is that it has been repainted into standard Grenda Livery so that it has the flexibility of servicing a number of routes, and not just the one route as a Smartbus vehicle. it looks better like this i must say cant wait to get a photo at fountain gate or berwick P.S that artwork on the stati...

My biggest bugbear is that it seems as far as "School run Artics" go, all the good ones are being sent to outback depots like Cardinia where the drivers seem to do 7-8 hour shifts whilst the two Dandenong run Artics which do alot of work for Haileybury College, Mazenod College and a number...

I hear there was quite a dark cloud hanging over todays event. And no im not talking about the weather. Just looking at the photos, It seems to be becoming more and more a new or near new bus showroom, with nothing much of any interest there really. Seems I made the right choice in working today ins...

You are kidding, right??? Yes they both have a 6 Speed ZF. But about the engine sound bit....please tell me you are kidding. Please??

As a school bus driver, I will try to clarify a couple of issues. 1. You said it was a school bus as far as you could tell. Being from a public school based on your observation, its almost certain that the school bus was infact a Metlink funded school bus. Being Metlink funded, the driver has the ri...

Good photos I must say, even if they were with a sore shoulder.

I just hope for your sake, your boss isnt an avid reader of ATDB He might be one of those guys who when the wife goes out for the night, he fires up the computer and downloads images of buses.

Has anyone been on one of the B7R's yet? Much difference between them and say, Peninsular's 318? Also, nice to see those B10M MkI's have a nice lease of life again! Do these see revenue service at all still? I drove one of the new B7Rs over to Dandenong depot last week, and I have to say they are a...

I personally, am disappointed that 290 & 291 did these charters today. They could've been better used IMO. Oh well, as it stands then, you unfortunatly dont work within the Grenda group, and certainly dont work in the relevant field to make these decisions, so ultimately your opinion doesnt cou...

I remember during my school days, there was a business in Huntingdale Victoria called Headworx who specialised in car cylinder head repairs. It wasnt so much the name of the business, it was the company slogan. "The only place to get your head job." Not surprisingly, the local council soon...

Do you even know why I said that? A B10BLE, in my books, is rare on Rte 900. Its alright matey, you werent alone. Apparently school kids, old ladies out doing their shopping, office workers going to work, and even tourists went hysterical with excitement when word got around the a Volvo B10BLE was ...

And people wonder why some members want moderation of new members and those under 18.

I think I know why they have put their website address on their vehicles. Rumour has it, they found this to be more effective than putting somebody elses website address on their vehicles. Now that would be weird.

Well, they look good, but I have question I'm firing at Grenda: Why choose the Scania N310UA? I personally would've chosen either the Volvo B12BLEA, or the Scania K310UA. Given the fact all their low floor artics are Scanias they probably wanted to stick with them. Does the B12BLEA offer the option...

Umm......*Eratik gets out his scientific calculator, his chart on the Theory Of Relativity, and technological evoloution.......and makes a staggering scientific discovery......

Well, Ill be damned. Its a school bus.

ROFL. WTF??

How ever will you deal with them???

I was tempted to go with Alcopop, and suspected the Viewed probably wouldnt get up, as the outright favourite never seems to deliver the goods. In the end I went against my initial leaning towards Alcopop and put my money on Shocking!!. Im glad I did. My $20 investment on Shocking returned me a nice...

Ok, heres a thread which might be a little bit of fun for you all to participate in. All you have to do is select a board member who you know personally, and post which famous actor, musician, sports person, politician or character they remind you of. It can be basically anybody who is well known in...

LOL! Must make life difficult, thats all I can say. That said, he wouldnt be the first bus driver to suffer an apparent allergy. Im not sure if its the same in other states and cities around Australia, but there seems to be a fair few route service bus drivers around Melbourne who are evidently alle...

Agreed. And please....even silly posts need to have a point of some kind. And thats where some posts lately have fallen short. There still needs to be a point to it all.

This is common sense really.

Regardless of what type of machinery you are running, whether it be a bus or your standard family car, oil quality is important, and also using the correct oil to suit the vehicle you are running.
