Yes, I took a quick trip on it tonight from Cultural Centre to Bardon and then T2895 turned up for the return trip.

T2897 on a 475 this afternoon.

T2895 looks to be in service this morning on a 375.

^Link? Looking at aerial imagery over Eagle Farm Depot, there were (on the 17th of Sep) 8 artics in CityGlider livery as well as another 9 in standard livery (parked on the western side of the yard). So they encompass 17 of the 18 buses between 1653 and 1670. There was also a TAG parked behind them...

I believe 1670 is the last of the current order.

All still in service as at 01 October 2020.

T2895 out and about at Kenmore yesterday. (I think 🤔) I haven't seen any new B8's on route service yet. Or new artics for that matter. This suggests no MANs have been de-commissioned recently, although I believe that the last remaining Scanias may be the first to go when the new buses are running.

Volgren update - parked today were T2896, T2897, T2898, T2899 (rego XQ28NQ) and T2901 (unregistered).

T2898 (rego XQ24NQ) and T2899 (unregistered) parked at Volgren today.

2072 has returned to Eagle Farm - E2072 on my outbound 306 tonight. Means all Optimus rigid buses are now north of the river.

The busway through Roma Street is re-opening on 21 September 2020. https://translink.com.au/service-updates/272706 Access to the two platforms will be separated. Platform 1 will have its own access point from Roma Street whilst Platform 2 access is as per normal. This means that anyone transferring ...

T2895, T2896 (rego XQ 11 NQ) and T2897 (rego XQ 14 NQ) at Volgren today.

Artic XQ 04 NQ also there without decals.

Have confirmed we are now up to at least1666 in artics (ABC bus sales data) I’m sure BT Enthusiast (and myself of course) are looking forward to the recommencement of the delivery of rigid B8s!! 😀 I am too - like to ride on each new bus - pity that the QUT buses 2880, 2881 and 2882 are never on nor...

Carina and Sherwood share the 234.

Thank You Cazza. Yeah, they run ALOT of School Routes. And it appears they always have the same buses run the same school routes! An instesting way to operate... Not unusual for some operators - for instance, the TfB services operated by Hornibrook in the northern part of Brisbane (routes 326 and 3...

Any news on the Volgren plant reopening? Surely it must be soon! I don't believe that it ever closed - just BT has not been putting the new artics on the road. The new artics are now sitting at Eagle Farm Depot - some in City Glider livery and some in normal livery. Maybe they will be on the road o...

The reason as to why SWT buses have T on them is because, they are all maintained, and I am pretty sure they're stored at Toowong depot occasionally. Not a BT/SWT employee so don't question my facts please. :lol: More a case that the buses were Toowong buses prior to going to SWT and the T was neve...

I am still very skeptical about the need for artics on the Blue Glider - before COVID, whenever I saw a full Blue Glider, the next one or two (which often would be a minute behind) would be near empty - I think TfB looked at the number of full Blue Gliders to make the decision to use artics rather t...
