There was a story in the Telegraph on Sat 1/4/06 of a couple wishing to sell a bondi tram that they have They are actually trying to sell the property on which said tram resides. There has been some doubt as to whether the tram is part of the deal, but getting it out of its current position (down t...

I must go have a look sometime.

Yes. There is an entrance at the same level as Coles Express coming down the escalators from Carrington St. You can easily make out the paltforms, and you can walk up to the exit out to Cumberland St.

The tracks in O'Dea Ave have never been covered. They have remained exposed since the system closed. I'm sure that for some time in the past decade or so they were covered by a thin layer of tar. The bus roadway adjacent to Anzac Pde past the SFS/SCG/etc was formerly used by trams. Apparently some ...

The tracks in O'Dea Ave have never been covered. They have remained exposed since the system closed. The cutting down to Bronte Beach is intact, now a car park. The "rosettes" on the sides of buildings can still be found in the CBD and a few older buildings in the suburbs. Quite a few wait...

Perhaps the government could donate it to the Pakistani royal family (or whoever runs the country thses days) for there latest heir.

May I ask, what is the advantage or registering a bus (or any old car) on vintage plates? It is considerably cheaper: try and get a bus (or even a car) registered and insured (CTP) for about $55 some other way. There are some limitations on use, but then again you're not really going to take your p...

Let's suppose 2550 was preserved, should it ... 1. Be painted into brown livery or blue mk2 livery? 2. Have the third door reinstalled or not? 3. Have the turbo taken off or not? On the point of no1, was 2550 ever painted in the brown livery? My understanding is that it wasn't but I could be wrong ...

Here’s and idea to solve the No Standing V No Stopping Issue, ? There really isn't an issue. Motorists in NSW have been used to the NO STOPPING sign for years, and this hasn't changed. In some other states NO STANDING really meant no stopping. Perhaps the designated "S with red circle" sy...

Also with the time limit signs when it's less than an hour, the sign reads 15 MIN P (the min under the 15 with a large P) There are a lot of signs that read 1/2-P or 1/4-P. I thought minutes are normally shown only if it is less than 1/4. THere doesn't seem to be any specified rule for this, so may...

Officially it has been a rule (in fact a Federal law I think) for a long time that you are not permitted to take photographs on/of any defence establishment or airport. Presumably this is now being enforced due to heightened security concerns.

3426 still had the small BONDI JUNCTION VIA EASTGARDENS as of Saturday.

The photo on news.com site shows the bus on its roof just behind some guardrail. Looks like it had rolled over from a higher level.

Probably the driver has tried to take a short cut to go to Kiama on the way through to Gong.

Looks bigger than a Rosa, maybe one of the jap import Hino or Mitsubishi models??

Not to mention the health benefits of a quick walk, rather than sitting down in the one place for up to 5 hours non-stop.

I think you will find that the Murray's 4 axle coaches use the same basic engine, but with a higher power rating

Where does the RB hino fit into this? The Hino RB, aka Hino Rainbow, is a rear engined midi Hino. I think it has leaf spring suspension, or "B-type" suspension. Other chassii that were exported to Australia included the RC420P chassis which was used for both coach and route bus work, and ...

LEYLAND/ALBION: Leyland used abbrieviations for their chassis designations over time, and these are the following: PSU = Post-war Single-deck Underfloor engine (Leopards) PSUR = Post-war Single-deck Underfloor Rear mounted engine (Panthers) PDR = Post-war Double-deck Rear mounted engine (Atlantean)...

Re Scanias:

The first trucks released here in the 60s were Model 80, not sure if the 0 was a predecessor to the 1,2,3,4 series. I don't think any buses came here in that era.

Confusingly the current 124 series can be specced with a 11 litre or 12 litre engine, there is no 114 model.

The under floor engine Leyland citybuses were known as the Worldmaster The lighter underfloors used for coaches was the Leopard (although they were used for citybuses too with modifications to the chassis.) . The correct designation for the u/f Leyland was Royal Tiger (code RT). The Worldmaster was...

B55-B59 are the product codes they had similar in Leyland having similar numbers as well. For example, the Titan (London T class) is B15 and the Lynx is B60. The B15 and B60 used by Leyland were development project numbers, the actual production model codes followed prior Leyand practice as TN and ...

I think the future of Edgecliff is still under a cloud. Plans are still floating around to build another apartment block on the site. I think the STA would be happy to do away with it, as it would save several minutes on an outbound trip, if buses simply used the NSH Rd stop. The weekend 200 service...

Circular Quay always gives me the impression of being 4 separate bus termini, and a couple of through stops, rather than an integrated interchange. The stops in George St don't have "Stand Numbers", or get a proper mention in the diagrams, even though they are exclusive stops for the servi...
