New buses for Territory Transit and Buslink

Post by Darwin bus lover »

There will be a few changes in the coming months, mostly to Territory Transits fleet as it is expected that the final artics, 121and 122 to be removed from service. This comes with the arrival of 88 which is already being fitted and is just yet to enter passenger service.
As far as Buslink goes, 212, 213 and 214 will begin service. 212 and 213 have entered passenger operations will 214 is yet to.

It is still unclear when 88 and 214 will enter service and if TT will be receiving most buses.

What are the rego numbers for (88), (212) & (213)?

At least as far as the NT Rego Checker is concerned, the details for (88) already recorded seem plausible but require confirmation. I'd be particularly interested to see if it is a O500LE or an OC500LE as the rego checker suggests

Also, TT have two Volgren-bodied charter vehicles on site (whether Coach or School bus chassis I don't know), which I haven't seen out during past visits and thus have no gen for.

Are you sure that 121A and 122A are going?

I have a feeling that 088R will replace 118R, 089R will replace 119R and 090R may possibly see the end of 120R. 123R would move to Wagait Beach to replace 118R on the Mandorah School Run.
If it's not a ZF, take it back!
