If anyone has any suggestions feel free to post.

Trust me on this herbert. They see you trying to record, so they either talk louder or sit near you and get thier mobile phones out and give you radio waves. I've wanted to do some nasty things a few times but being the kind person I am I held back. Other than that, Great work blind bus spotter. Be...

Saw MAN 18.280 bus 1502 back in service on Friday (28/06). Must have recently returned from Mid North. Am wondering if this is due to the large number of buses soon to be heading to Sydney to work the Bankstown Rail subs The Transit Systems buses that were going to Sydney is no longer going ahead.

Probably it's ex Adelaide?

Some more Volgren Optimus's would be nice to see, and maybe a different chassis and not just, 'Scania' all the time.

Adelaide doesn't have variety like it once did.

Any new Zoom or OM System a.k.a Olympus recorder the Sony ECM-DS70P will still work I still use mine.

If I remember correctly there were a few of the O-Bahn buses (Mercedes fleet) that did this when the Walkley Heights Depot was being used. Their fleet had a small WH above the fleet number on the front of the bus and I think a few based at Morphettville had a yellow M on the bottom right hand corne...

I have seen on the Queensland Section someone has listed Brisbane Transport Routes by Depot Would someone like to have a go to compile a list of which depot services each route? Thanks for everyone's input. Torrens Transit can do any route they want. I was just thinking of Brisbane style fleet lett...

It's been back almost 2 weeks now I reckon..
It also has 774's old gaspod.

Oh, the Sydney Bus Museum are selling USBs with a bunch of them. I can email them over if you’re still interested. Sorry for having to wait months for this. Which USB are you referring to ? I did buy this one back in November 19th 2023, but there is none on there that I was hoping is there another ...

Sorry to bring up an old thread, but how is 1319 coming along getting repaired?

Given the Gawler line is fully electric it will probably have a timetable changes and associated outer north bus services. Some other proposed changes might mean extra services on some routes and a possible go zone extension. I agree with you Admet75 Fixing the Outer North areas including Gawler an...

Nice pictures, shame about the livery... I'd also like to see the interiors, are they low-floor until the rear-most door, or already raised through the turntable as in the Custom CB60/Evo II/CB80 combo artics? The windowline suggests that the latter is the case, but this is Bustech we're talking ab...

Be glad to see it when it comes back, it's one of my favourite buses.

The Volvo B8RLE i.e. 2451 is what should had been chosen for the Adelaide Hills and Southern suburbs not the Scanias especially when you have steep inclines such as South Eastern Freeway and Southern Expressway. 2451 doesn't struggle as much as the Scanias. But has 2451 ever been up the SE Freeway?

Is it still there?

Send me a message, Cheers.

Hanover's Super X functions.

H2 Grenfell St has been relocated to Hindmarsh Square.

Is there any Canberra sound recording/video enthusiasts on here?

I’m looking for sounds and videos of the older buses anything really from an AEC Swift but more interested in these bus types.

• M.A.N SL200 & M.AN SL202
• Mercedes-Benz O305
• M.A.N SL202
• Scania L94UB CNG’s

The Scania K320CB or the Scania C250E Electric bus
shouldn’t be too far away one is definitely a Custom Denning body
saw the bodyless chassis for one of these electric buses at Sydney Bus Show last month.
