The web designer should of approached the membership of this board for some suitable photos, if they did just that then there will be no shortage of images they could of used. The problem with that, is then they end up with too many photos. Every enthusiast and their dog thinks they take a good sho...

How come the ex Grenda buses for Veolia arnt in the Transport NSW livery?

Probably just on a shopping tour. Nothing special about it at all.

Fleet Lists wrote:The smaller photo is certainly not Punchbowl.

Correct. It's a Toronto livery bus. Which for those that don't know is not a Vic company either. If BusVic struggle with photos I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to get some from either operator or enthusiast.

Looks nice.
But I must say the Coach Designs look much smarter. This Irizar is dating very quickly and just something about it looks cheaply done. It's ashame the prices are so much cheaper than the Aussie stuff, but I suppose you get what you pay for.

To Andrew, the 100 is the Scania 100 year badge.

Anyone else think these which vehicle is it & where is it sections are totally dead?? Maybe time to put the game on the backburner and delete it. Or think of something new.

All these photos, mmmm theres something missing. Ahh thats what, every single window to be scratched up by idiots!

Looks great, lets hope Yarra Trams actually put a splash of colour on them though. Although i can feel just a logo slapped on and nothing else.

Probably to keep all the whingers happy who keep carrying on about it not having the full logos!

Suspect it may be a couple of the shorter NCBC Scanias & maybe the O500RFx2 Coach Design. All previously V/Line coaches. The Irizar is not a V/Line coach. I heard that the coaches will mostly be 3 alxe :? If that be the case, then probably will end up being some of the older coaches. There is an AB...

One thing you can be assured when purchasing a vehicle from Kangaroo Bus Lines. Your getting a immaculatly kept vehicle. Kangaroo always go that one step further to make the vehicles look good inside & out, no matter what the age.

It is Southern Coast Transit policy that a bus must not be reversed without a person guiding them. IIRC It is instant dismissal if a driver is caught. The only time a bus should be reversed imho is in depots where stow roads are used, as it is required when a bus is a non starter half way down a ro...

Who actually owns the vehicles at sunbus? Wasn't it rumored once apon a time when translink came on they had the ability to move vehicles as they wished to other operators? It's all a sad situation but sunbus are appearing a bit selfish and would rather sue than actually work out the major problems ...

As Mercedes has said. Why doesnt everyone just stop speculating and just watch what happens. Take the wait and see approach, speculating on something out of your control is a move which has landed so many enthusiasts a bad name. Silly comments asking how much the company is interested in really does...

I never had a go at you or criticized, I just asked since when? And making sure it's not ATE your talking about. Mercedes provided the answer quite politely. Unlike yourself. Some people take there know it all attitude a bit too far.

That is significantly softer worded than the notice that was shown to staff. Also of note is that Martyrs Buslines is apparently for sale, Grenda's have a 51% stake in Martyrs with the other 49% belonging to the Mountjoy family (for now). Since when did Grenda own any of Martyrs? Grenda owned 51% o...

Or maybe a victim of at least 39 BCIs

What does this have to do with Dysons? They don't currently own Reservoir.

I hear that the DOT stuffed up and didn't include the need for a toilet in the Gippsland contracts. Dineen is supposed to have won by using cheaper non-toilet equipped coaches. Dineen does have new proper toilet equipped coaches coming for this run. Scania Irizars i believe. However due to the late...

So what comes after the 500 buses?

Of course we have been talking with VicRoads. And Victoria Police about bus lane enforcement. And Monash City Council. And Monash University. Well lets hope Vicroads do a few things about the light cycles. Its just stupid you take off from Dandenong Road heading for Huntingdale & nearly always get ...

Yes, I heard that as well - and while that might be an improvement in terms of spacing, that's probably not going to be a good long term solution because as you said, it results in other buses departing first (inconsistent customer message) and it leads to the frequency decreasing. The bus company ...

Their name is Eastrans FYI. Part of CDC

They better hope not! From Monday most return to their normal runs, ie school runs.

If students dont return till the following week (as revenue posted), does this mean on this monday it runs at its reduced holiday rate or is it at its high frequency from Monday?
