Kinetic Group fleet changes Australia/New Zealand
Re: Kinetic Group fleet changes Australia/New Zealand
New entry for Molendinar: 1011, XC02CK. Another MAN GBV.
Sidenote: who's updating the fleet lists for Queensland? There's a bunch of new entries missing and I would really love to see those gaps fixed.

For the past few days, the freosanstudios fleet lists have not come up on my searches.mondegola wrote: Fri Jun 27, 2025 8:21 pm Lachlan has a list of their own with the regos of all new GBVs: https://aew.freosanstudios.com/w/index. ... old_Coast)
The fleet list still has some MAN VSTs missing in there as well which have been reported on previous posts in this thread.
Is it me & my computer?
Advice valued, thanks.
Re: Kinetic Group fleet changes Australia/New Zealand
1010 now in service. MAN GBV, rego is XC01CK for Coomera.

Re: Kinetic Group fleet changes Australia/New Zealand
How many more GBVs are expected to be delivered to the Kinetic Gold Coast fleet? I assume there will be more over the next year as they withdraw more single door Bustech B12BLE’s.
Re: Kinetic Group fleet changes Australia/New Zealand
1008 is XC50AU, Molendinar.

Re: Kinetic Group fleet changes Australia/New Zealand
How many GBV MAN's are there going to be compared to the Volgren B8's? I'm hoping there is more GBV's then Volgrens personally...SunSkySurf09 wrote: Wed Jun 03, 2026 4:14 pm Update from SC

Do we know when the SC volgrens will enter service SunSkySurf? I'll have to try and get a ride on the MAN too.

Re: Kinetic Group fleet changes Australia/New Zealand
Looks like the end is close for a some of the old SC fleet?
5711, 5712, 5713, 5714, 5715, 5717, 5718, 5719, 5726, 5729 and 5736 have all progressively disappeared from real time tracking within a week or two of each other.
Initially I thought it was just the usual real time issues that seem to be plaguing Kinetic but it can't be a coincidence that all the 2005/2006 units are suddenly dropping off.
Remaining units still seem to be in action including 5709.
