Registration since renewed.

I think someone was a bit quick to jump the shark on this one since it's obvious it would've been renewed.

As a Non-Sydney resident, I can't speak of where it really is, just that a quick rego check is showing it now expires 15/12/23.

Noted in the fleet list changes today.
m/o 5062. m/o 5065, m/o 5066 and m/o 5067 Mercedes/Volgren from Menai to South Granville.
m/o 9666, m/o 9667, m/o 9669 and m/o 9755 Volvo/Custom Coaches from South Granville to Menai.
Possibly transfers to balance the fleets in regions 10 and 13 before they go to different operators later this year.

Interestingly m/o 5062 had a photo taken in Miranda only yesterday while m/o 9667 was taken in close to the same place about 10.30 this morning. The latter had me intrigued as it showed Menai accreditation but at the I did not think there were such buses at Menai.

Since I posted the previous post there have been quite a few more moves between the various Transdev depots.
Today there have been 6 Volvo B7R's transferred with 3 from Bankstown or South Granville to Taren Point (m/o 5252 used to be a Metrobus, m/o 5352 (still in Metrobus livery - believed to be the first red bus ever allocated to Taren Point and m/o 1974 another ex Metrobus)
And m/o 5496, m/o 5499 and m/o 5012 from Taren Point - 5012 was still still seen operating from Taren Point this morning while I have April photos of the other two,

Sorry for bumping this thread but just thought I'd ask, is there a historical fleet list lurking around somewhere with the Transdev NSW fleet allocations prior to their operations being divvied up between other operators? I can only find a Veolia list from 2013, Shorelink fleet lists from 1992 and 2001 and a TransdevTSL fleet from 2010 or thereabouts. The disposal lists for Transdev John Holland are working for me in the interim but you can't use the fleet or livery summary tabs on those which is a slight inconvenience.

There doesn't seem to be much happening with Transdev John Holland yet but if something worth noting occurs in the future would this be the place to put it?
