Re: Kinetic Group fleet changes Australia/New Zealand
Came across this site, with the tab name showing "Welcome to Sunbus Busline".
https://cinnamon-onion-rpmr.squarespace.com/about-us
And have also noticed some photos were taken in a Surfside depot but with Sunbus drivers, which is quite odd.

Re: Kinetic Group fleet changes Australia/New Zealand
Telfords in Sydney acquired 5 Volvo B8R's with Custom Adventurer bodies late last year - TV5277; 5278; 5292; 5296; 6375.
They were on Fleetlists and I checked today and there's only one TV5278.
Anyone know what's happened there ?
An error or have the other 4 been moved to other parts of the Kinetic empire.
They were all in Telfords livery.

Just answered my own question by re-checking disposals listing in detail.
The other 4 have been transferred to Kinetic Resources in Queensland.

3401 has certainly seen better days, and hopefully its days get better.

Re: Kinetic Group fleet changes Australia/New Zealand
Here's a photo I took earlier on of 5759 during a 617 run, It's amazing that that Sunbus finally have some new additions. The shutter speed of my camera is out of wack so that's why the back desto is cut off.

Noticed an Irizar bodied coach in Sydney in a white and orange livery with large Kinetic signwriting, presumably a Telfords vehicle.
