Re: Transport for Brisbane Observations 2019
When are the B8 Artics coming?
Edit: Toowong is in surplus with buses right now so it is increasingly unlikely that we will see them actually...

Re: Transport for Brisbane Observations 2019
Toowong will see some more MAN's go to GC, I currently have T with:daveeyh wrote:G1521 is now W1521.
MAN 18.310 CNG- 1200-1202, 1204-1299, 1346 and 1347, total 101
MAN 18.310 Diesel- 1016-1018, 1030-1066, total 40
Volvo B8RLE- 2820-2862, total 43
TOTAL 184 which is above the average of around 175
I expect to see 1293-1299 and also 1346+1347 go to GC and Toowong welcome up to 2869 in B8's
Also, the new B8's are exceptionally bumpy. I know that they may be made for the full load, but I went on an empty 2854 and you couldn't hear the engine sound because of the bumpiness. Furthermore, the panel was not installed properly, which I think is a major flaw as it was really uncomfortable to look at.

I also saw 2196 without a depot letter on Adelaide Street
Re: Transport for Brisbane Observations 2019
And I just noted 2817 about to begin a P426 to Chapel Hill. So 2817-19 are all at Toowong.

Saw G1288 on an outbound 124 this evening.
Saw T1286 on a 124 this morning; 1285 and 1287 have been on southern routes today.
E2195 is now V2195.

2856 now has double single ads
2812 is now parked at Toowong garage. Don't get me wrong, it could be going to workshops.

Re: Transport for Brisbane Observations 2019
1298 is now at G as well.
Unusual sight for University term this evening where three consecutive Route 66 buses arriving at Southbank around 6.00pm from UQ were standard rigid buses, rather than tags or artics.

Re: Transport for Brisbane Observations 2019
1297 is now at G
In return I believe 1522 has made its way to W as I saw it on W routes today (453,100 etc.)

Been spotted in service this afternoon.daveeyh wrote:T2866 (XQ20JM) is parked at Toowong garage.
Also, reports made by Jon Sri (Woolloongabba councillor) reveal that B8 artics will be operating on the Blue City Glider within the next 6 months.
