CDC NSW Fleet Updates

[Daniel]

Thanks for that - will update now. I removed 6001 after the massive accident damage it copped, pending repairs. Has it returned as yet?

Also a Toronto based Volvo PMC160 is now in TNSW, any advice as to which one?

[Tim]

7923 has been transferred to dural

[Irisbus Rider]

AFAIK, a Toronto liveried MAN with a PMC 160 body has been spied in the Queanbeyan yard, so either 4372MO, or 4401MO has made the move to CDC Deanes. Cannot 100% confirm this though.

[Geoff]

Can't help with that one; however changes are:

Dural - 9327,9367 to Seven Hills
Seven Hills - 7923, 7998, 8117, 8122 to Dural
Seven Hills - 9953 to Northmead
Northmead - 9418 to Seven Hills
Northmead - 6038 to Foundry Rd
Foundry Rd - 6043 to Northmead
Singleton - 2443 to Thornton
Bonnyrigg - 8098 scrapped, 8039 to Girraween
Dural - 7511 to Queanbeyan

Are these changes likely to be permanent or just for school holidays?

7371 is the best MkI I have driven, and quite possibly the quickest bus too

I'm seeing more and more buses that I did my apprenticeship on now going for disposal or scrap, it's like the end of an era now after 27 years in the game. I remember all of these except the last two.

The day you worry Peta is when you see your name up their as "set aside for disposal" !!!!!!!!!!!

The second one of those might ring a bell as ex m/o 7478

[Ben O]

Brand new m/o 6055 (former Dion's plate) operating Dural services today.

[2MSJ]

8037, noted as withdrawn 10/12, has appeared at Girrween being used for parts?

7615 on the hoists still missing parts and no plates - did this ever run in service with Charterplus?

[Geoff]

No ,de-registered at Windsor first.
8037 is for donor parts to get former 7615 back on the road - eventually.

Geoff.

[Ben O]

Another new one at Dural is m/o 6054.

[Daniel]

6071 sighted on a test / delivery this morning.

[2MSJ]

No ,de-registered at Windsor first.

Interesting - has Charterplus signage! Was it roadworthy at Windsor?

BR53ZC no longer at Girraween

[Geoff]

7615 - alegedly engine died at Windsor and with its age it was decided to withdraw the unit. It was later sent to Girraween to have the engine from 8037 installed (plus some other bits and pieces) and get it back on the road. The Charterplus signage is just part of the re-instatement process.
