Let’s go

Cheers, JRBUS123

Well, 2020 has been a strange year, I almost thought Wodonga wouldnt get its annual Town bus but surprisingly it did - 1198.

According to fleetlists it looks lime Two Irizars are on the way

Another Question I have is did Shepp depot end up getting a new town Bus in 2020 or were one of twins 1118 and 1119 supposed to be the 2020 town bus.

In Wodonga in the past couple of days I spotted #710 and #815 with new experimental Desto files.

Sorry for extremely low quality, my photos are too big to post.

Last week on the 517 route, I saw all the oldies operating including 297,281,300,303,304, all in the distinctive Dyson colours which was so much better than the newer orange ptv version. Not sure why this sudden change of strategy with only older buses on this route.

Likely the newer buses are either being serviced or there has been a shift change so its easier for Drivers to access their next route on their schedule.

Spotted what would be a glimpse of an Ex Mylon's Lowfloor at Dysons Shepp in this link here (its a 460's fleet number):

Either it's 465, 466 or 469, I know that 468 wouldn't be there because there a recent photo of it in Kyneton and I know 460, 462 and 463 are all in Wodonga.

I can confirm that 465 is still in Melbourne as, so it leaves me with 466 or 469

465 is Now in the "Bundoora" depot since the Broadford school contract was given to panorama, spotted in Melbourne on rail replacement today:

There is also an Ex-Mylon 460's low floor in Shepparton Depot (Possibly 466 or 469) I know 463, 462 and 460 are in Wodonga as they all operate school runs, 468 is in Kyneton depot as a Spare. I have a feeling that its more likely to be 469 in Shepparton than 466

This is just a glimpse it doesn't reveal the whole number though.

470 is also no longer in the wodonga depot, It Should have a question mark in the depot field for now so whoever finds it next can report to fleet lists.

877 is In Wodonga Depot and has been for over a year.
904 is also in Wodonga Depot.

Spotted 1222 (BS05HW?) in Wodonga today. Its still in its Corryong livery, its contracted on the Corryong Service.
