Transport for Brisbane Observations 2021

Hornibrook Bus 99 on the last inbound 327 service to Toombul today - happens on an infrequent basis.

Only time at present when a non-TfB bus does a TfB scheduled route.

[Cazza]

I have seen a Hornibrook bus (not a bus with the fleet number 10xx) on the 311 only a few weeks back (and then it would presumably continue on the other Sandgate local tours). Would that not be the same thing? Or is TfB actually scheduled to do that run out of Virginia or Eagle Farm?

[Cazza]

Willawong’s 5061 operating the 8:00am inbound 135 and 9:15am outbound 115 services this morning. G1628 also on an inbound 200 and inbound 184 this morning too.

T1041 on an outbound P211.

2072 has also been transferred back to S, as I overserved it this evening terminating a 598 at Garden City at around 7:05pm.

I’m pretty sure h lowest number Hornibrook bus is 107?
Wasn’t 97-100 sold off?

99 was retained as a spare I believe.

2813 and 2819 have transferred from Toowong to Eagle Farm.

[qut391]

2818 on a P231 according to AnyTrip, time to see whether it has transferred to Eagle Farm as it operated a 353 before the P231

2813 and 2819 have transferred from Toowong to Eagle Farm.

Can one assume this is temporary?

Just confirmed that it is now E2818. Saw it on an inbound 230.

No idea haha

So seems like if 2819 is at Eagle Farm now, 2801-2819 may all be headed over, as they usually get huddled together whenever there's a transfer.
This means that E would have 38 B8s, from 2801 to 2838.
That should mean E is in surplus of buses, meaning it gives its oldest B7s away to Sherwood
Leaving Toowong with less buses than before

Maybe, just maybe, some TAGS will head over from Sherwood to Toowong. That would really help as some of you guys have said before (and I'm also a bus user that experiences it), some of the peak services are really, really crowded. I use the 444 everyday to go into the city and every day it is full to the brim.

Or maybe some of the buses gone will just be replaced by more deliveries of new B8s. It will be very interesting to see how this rolls out.

You forgot about 2880, 2881, 2882, and 2883 (the Queensland University of technology shuttles), which are at Eagle Farm depot.

You forgot about 2880, 2881, 2882, and 2883 (the Queensland University of technology shuttles), which are at Eagle Farm depot.

E2880, E2881 and E2882 are QUT school shuttles covered with QUT AoAs.

E2883 is the only bus that is ads free since it entered service. It appeared on this school shuttle quite often during uni semesters last year.

The QUT shuttle uses 3-4 buses during uni semesters at a 10-min interval and 2 during semester breaks at a 15-min interval, therefore E2883 seldom appeared on this route during semester breaks.

As the O-week at QUT commences next Monday, this shuttle bus will resume uni semester timetable and therefore E2883 has a greater chance to appear on this school shuttle service.

Passing by Toowongg depot today, many 2810 series B8s are parked at the sheds. From my memory there were 4 of them there, 2812, 14, 15, 16

Probably gearing up for transfer to Eagle Farm.

[daveeyh]

T2919 (unregistered) parked at Volgren today. E2137 and W5043 were also there.

[daveeyh]

2075 is now back to Sherwood as well.

S2076 on a 412 this morning.

[1whoknows]

Well thats the end of Volgren Qld. Its joint venture with BCC ends in June and is not being renewed according to a story on the ABC website today.

[qut391]

Currently 2813, 2814, 2815, 2817, 2818 and 2819 have transferred to Eagle Farm.
