More Man 19.330 GBVs are slowly being put into service. Units 1003 and 1007 recently started service last week. Both assigned to Coomera Depot. The Bustech B12BLEs aren’t long for service on the GC.

Does anyone know where 5628, 5630, 5635, 5641 and 5761 are? They all have not been in service since last year (or is it just Kinetics OBC's playing up again)

They are still in service. They just have no tracking. I saw 5628 and 5761 in service today as well as 952 and 953 which are also not tracking.

Happened about a couple months ago but I'm leaving it here for historical purposes: Koala Koaches is now using accreditation number Q100580, officially making them part of Kinetic Surfside.

Regarding the MAN Bustech "VST" 945-954 on the Sunshine Coast. Fleetlists lists these as 19.320 however reliable information suggests this batch is 19.330. QLD rego check confirms both 946 and 947 as 2023 MAN LE19330E6 BUS.

QLD Bus Tracker has updated these to 19.330 however requests to change them to 19.320 keep been sent. I'm not sure if that is because Fleetlists says they are that or if there is other information suggesting that.

Some clarification would be handy if anyone can provide more?

Cairns 2622 has been renumbered to 2648 and repainted into the new Translink scheme with decals all around. I expect this has happened due to an incidence at the end of February where the vehicle was involved in a fatal incident.
