Call it OH&S and you can do what ever you like

And she said if they didn't lose the weight in 6 months they would be fired

That copyright thing on the first photo make sure you put it on any Devonport ones hehe

That mustard colour they are in pic 4 must have been aroung the mid 70's wouldn't it
Never lasted very long. the colours on 134 are the best in my opinion

Off re-collection, Merseylink have had problems with the body since delivery. Wilbur mentioned Barry not impressed with 1st delivery, so obviously they HAVEN'T got any better. I still don't care what anyone says. I THINK the MAIN problem is the exta length (12.5) and low-floor scenario. We DON'T ha...

They are starting to look real sad. Not being repaired when bent like the previous owners did straight away. A bit like our Scania's

[quote="Tas Bus Nut"]To appease those that won't contribute, but do complain, here are some pics from the NW Coast over the years.
I do apologise in advance, as these pics have been posted before, albiet a few years ago. They cover Devonport & Burnie.

Well said Neil

The Ulverstone station was moved and preserved at the Don railway I think

Thx Neil coming down to Hobart over the xmas break for a few days you'll have to show me and the missus around

You'll have to forgive me being a northerner but whats with the floating bridge? was that a temporary bridge when the main bridge got knocked down

They are having problems with exhausts and water hoses at the moment always something wrong with them always in the workshop

Neither will Merseylink

"Buses r us" Has anyone seen or know of these buses they have been wandering around Devonport the last few weeks their web site is www.busesrus.net.au
Not com.au like the others

Ok I got an update from my mate at pheonix today. He said he's not sure if it was a busy bee bus but it def was a metro bus. They paid around 8k for it and it goes at least as fast as the daewoos
They are now using it all the time and the drivers fight over it they love it.

Sorry haven't been able to get on to reply The day I sent it to niel was the first day on the road the driver said they only have one so far just to see how the economy goes

I saw Phoenix had a new bus so I grabbed a couple pics for you
The driver told me it was an old busy bee bus. They are going to be using it instead of one of the chirons to save costs

The thing I notice is the yellow on the back/roof of #22. Perhaps Wilbur can enlighten us (used to be ALL white off memory) :?: On arrival, I thought they received the same livery as the Orana's. 22 was our first cb60 and it came painted with the blue front as well. Barry just doesn't like the blue...
