Of the half a dozen or so pre-2005 Transdev m/o registered buses I noted in region 12 today, all retained their fleet numbers and Transdev decals, so that sighting may have been a one-off. While like many other operators, CDC has taken delivery of no new buses in Sydney recently, it has received plenty at its other operations, so conceivable that it may be able to source enough buses internally without taking on any Transdev owned buses.
One the Metro extension opens next year, a sizeable number of region 4 buses should be released as the M2 services are reduced. As is becoming the common theme om this thread, we will have to wait and see.
