A couple of Surfside buses heading inbound on Captain Cook Bridge tonight, with 'Charter' on desto. Any ideas?

Veolia high-floor MAN 613 on a 282 at Hyperdome this evening.

Oh ok.

G1336 on a school charter to the Logan Hyperdome ttoday. Spoke to the driver and he was clearly out of his depth being so far down UN Logan. Didn't see which school, but it was a maroon polo shirt.

1 I presume you mean the first Carina tag on the Eleanor Schonell bridge; S and G use it a lot...
2 G639 get out on any route?

Will update here as soon as I see them. I'll be on the look out next week.

Any idea of regos/fleet numbers? Classic VST or new one?

BT event shuttle discussion was moved to separate thread.

Were they BT or TBS/KBL? Only BT will display the numbers.

If Quirk was an alien, I would be surprised. Other that that, I don't think so.

If they know there's a problem, why don't they do anything about it? All they've done is add more services (Maroon CityGlider?!?)

I don't think BCC thinks there is a problem at the Cultural Centre.

Emerson is too busy on his Segway to point it out to them.

So there is a horrible overgrown garden. TransLink wanted to remove it all and start again. BCC instead are clipping a few twigs and saying "good as new!".

According to them, there is no such thing as a 555.

They've also added a map for a new 547 (Browns Plains to Woodridge station via Drewvale).

This is off topic (feel free to move), but I heard from a driver (I know it's can't be considered 100% truth, but I thought I'd say it anyway), that with TransLink's proposed changes all of PRTs urban routes would be handed over to LCBS, and they'd only have school runs left. Apparently this is due ...

I thought that SWT were still working. Any Willawong bus can be put onto any Willawong route. They're mainly used on 111s and weekend 169s (when Sherwood tags don't go out), but they can be frequently used on any W route. So yes, it is normal for W1623 to operate a 110. However, I presume you mean a...

One of Logan's Volgren artics was on a 579 OB last week.

One of Veolia's Express coaches was on a 282 this afternoon.

Seeing as though everyone hates people asking the same questions over and over, does anyone think a stickied FAQ could work? Put it above the observation threads, and have common questions that are always asked there, eg. "Why does R do this T run?" "Why are S/W always sitting in G depot?" "Why are ...

Yeah - A10, but it's really crappy.

Scania G653 was sitting in layover with blue CityGlider desto up the other day. Only notable 'cause it's the first time I've ever seen a blue CG desto on a non-blue CG bus. Sorry about crap photo; all I had on me was my phone at the time. http://i825.photobucket.com/albums/zz174/my_best_friend_has_l...

Actually yeah that was a really stupid question on my part. They cost hundreds of thousands of dollars; they're not gonna buy them to just sit around.

Surfside seem to have a lot of buses. Do they really need all these new ones?

Looks like to me trucks 16t GVM always prohibited, everything else prohibited 7-7.

That's a pointy one!

Surfside's latest have bumps on the back of all the seats - a great deterrent in my opinion!

Or better yet, run them as an actual milk run.

Veolia and Park Ridge have them on the right - it's just LCBS, Sunbus, Hornibrook and possibly one other that have them on the rather annoying and very hard to read left side. Worst place for it is probably Buranda. If nobody hails the bus I'm on, it'll drive straight past. But most of the time peop...
