Busways MAN Bustech VST Mk III.

Busways Kincumber based unit in Woy Woy. I'm really taking to these both in ZF and VOITH guise. Ride could be better but good solid buses.

I wonder how Busabout are coping with a make they don't traditionally associate with (AFAIK)?
The funny thing with these ZF 18.310s is they sound like an Adelaide SL200 with the same notes.

That fits well then and I'm relieved to hear that.
