937 really went and said "didn't hear no bell", ha!

Speaking of missing buses: has anyone seen 955 recently? It's been missing for quite a while.

[SurfsideGC]

5757 VST, temporarily out of service due to accident damage to front.

475 XDI, appears to be the first for the coast to be painted in the new Translink blue livery.

[Linto63]

Is the new blue livery, the TFNSW inspired one first noted here three years ago, but seemingly not rolled out with new deliveries continuing to have been in white and green, or a darker shade of blue as has recently been applied to bus stop signs?

[mondegola]

It's the same livery as usual but with light blue instead of green and with the current translink logos.

[Jaytech]

Coomeras 859 and 869 currently being auctioned through Manheim.

[mondegola]

Yeah the 800s and 600s are being slowly decommissioned in favor of the GBVs. 700s will stay for school runs and emergency railbus duties.
