Auckland 801-835

Post by a350a380 »

I'm in Auckland on a sunday and wondered if the Man 16.223 Fairfax tri axles (801-835) will be about. Are they in service at weekends and if so are they on any particular routes?

Thanks

Sadly no chance. Monday to Friday peak central, Mt. Eden Rd. Dominion Rd. and school routes.

The road to success is always under construction.

Thanks, I saw them out and about in abundance Friday evening. I'm hoping to catch something with the same engine and voith gearbox. Maybe a birkenhead transport Man 12.220 or 11.190 today.

On another note - I noticed the SG242 and SG243 still appear in fleetlists for depots near Auckland. Have these ever made it out into service recently or are they strictly restricted to schools etc?
