How will the new QLD government proceed with the Sunshine Coast direct rail and the Salisbury-Beaudreset passenger rail?

Im watching the Sunshine Coast line closely as I’m moving somewhere around Mountain Creek area in 18-24 months time so see what effect it has on house prices. Isn’t all this money already locked in for the project tho??

Hey guys, anyone know who owns TMR 0176-0185?

I'm checking right now and 7176 and 7179 are doing 253 and 272 runs respectively.

So Transdev.

73 to 75 are on the ground as we speak.

Got it! Been trying for a while! Got a nice video for YouTube as well.

[mondegola]

Just a heads up: 73 wears an indigenous AOA, identical to the one put on ZDi 902.

(I was on board that one while it was doing 572 runs this arvo.)

7188 spotted an hour ago at Griffith. Given to Mt Gravatt.

[1whoknows]

Did you get a rego for it?

[Lachlan-Conley-102]

Kinetic GC currently with 18 Global Bus Ventures "Vulcan" MAN 19.330's delivered with a further 8 awaiting delivery at either Penske or GBV facility at Yatala.

Does this mean all the old Bustech bodied Volvos have now left the Clark’s fleet?

Hey guys, is anyone able to help out with the Regos of TMR’s 0176 - 0195? As well as any info that you might have of the status of what number we are up to so far.

[James00]

What's happening with the ZDi's at Clarks? They don't seem to be in service much. 901CBS hasn't had it's inspection recorded and 903CBS rego is actually expired.

Are the Optimus deliveries effectively replacing these?
