The reason for the brackets is because I have no clue if there are several or just this one. I found it on my way home, it's an O405 510 that's been painted in TfNSW light blue with an advertisement on the very back. Checked fleetlists, no info. Checked google, no info. I might be the only one to have seen this.
Hopefully some of you out there have some more info. (also fleetlists, hi!)

Re: Transdev Training Bus(ses)
The ad on the back must be very recent as I took a photo of it in February without it.
https://www.flickr.com/search/?user_id= ... &text=151A shows he photo concerned as well as some historic photos of the bus.
It was reregd onto TV plates in July 2000. A number of other white buses have also been reregd onto such plates during the past two years and are considered as charter buses but could also be used for this purpose.
And it is in the fleet lists

Re: Transdev Training Bus(ses)
Transdev TV 225A whixh unlike TV151A, has been repainted from Transport for NSW livery, was also seen in Urunga Parade yesterday as a training bus with a similar ad on the back https://www.flickr.com/photos/193972346 ... 275966660/
It is ex Shorelink m/o 8826 - see it back in Transport for NSW livery https://www.busaustralia.com/gallery/di ... p?pid=3930
The photo I took some months ago before the ad was added, was in virtually the same position as TV 225A yesterday but the trees now have no leaves https://www.flickr.com/photos/193972346 ... 859514882/

Re: Transdev Training Bus(ses)
Interesting. I've seen some other training busses, but they were just on the destination boards and nothing else.
