1604 garden city man artic is at custom care in arundel.

Optimus 2152 has been at Eagle Farm for a while - is it a temporary placement or permanent re-allocation?

2150 and 2151 are still at Virginia - it seems a little odd that 2152 was the bus that went to Eagle Farm.

V2211 seen on the road near Eagle Farm depot today.

GC man artic 1604 are still at custom care at the moment in arundel.

1595 was out and about today. I have not seen it in service before. Was doing a 360 according to the GTFS feed.

[Maladjusted]

Jeez, you were lucky to see 1595 in service
2212 received by Virginia earlier today.

Jeez, you were lucky to see 1595 in service

I've seen 1595 in service four times in the last fortnight (after not seeing it all before that) so it must now be out on the road on a regular basis.

Pity, on each occasion I have seen it, it was going the other way.

Seen this morning were 2 lemons going into Manheims Eagle Farm. Also at Virginia are 4 scanias on the fence, not sure if out of service or still active.

Spotted 646 had been towed back to G on a m1 next to g depot this afternoon

Seen 2 metroliners at Redcliffe Showground today, 1 in white and 1 in BT livery. Hopefully there next week for ID.

[PRT 065]

The one in BT livery was Bus 501 on display at the wheels of the century automotive show.

[daveeyh]

T1016 was on a Great Circle Line service today.

Maybe 1006 has gone to SWT now?

[superbossgc]

1604 is now back to GC depot from custom care.

[ABS]

1006 was an advertising bus. Perhaps the advertising expired and it was restored to a plain livery.

[Skyblue1]

Seen 1004 near Richlands on Friday still displaying T allocation.

1595 was out and about today. I have not seen it in service before. Was doing a 360 according to the GTFS feed.

How do you find what bus is doing what based on the GTFS feed? Is there a particular website?

I finally got to ride T1595 on an outbound 385 yesterday.

Bus sounds very different to other Scanias.

Seating configuration was interesting with the two seats behind the rear door facing each other.

[gen man]

It's a Volvo, NOT a Scania!

Sorry, slip of the fingers...

V2218, V2219 and V2220 all in service today.

There are only three BT withdrawals listed on the Manheim site for next week's auction (331, 349 and 719) - the smallest number for a few months.

Have BT exhausted their number of withdrawn buses ready for sale?

[ABS]

Can't wait for 2222

[ABS]

The Ed Sheeran concert diversions on the TransLink website were wrong. No surprises here!

The outbound 350 that passes Petrie Terrace stop 4 was diverted to College Road stop 4 with no mention on the TransLink website.

The only mention was a service notice on the actual stop forcing intending passengers to run to College Road.

The TransLink website also incorrectly described the outbound 350 as using Caxton Street.

2222 Parked at EF today going to V this afternoon, old MAN in Orange and White in workshop EF. Not much going on in the graveyard collection. Moreton
