I’ve seen a handful of Transit Systems B7 volvos in region 3 with “Headway” in red font on the windscreen above the driver. But these particular buses aren’t always on the T80. I was wondering what they were all about and was happy when I stumbled across this thread.

Hi Everyone,

Does anyone have any interior dashboard photos or links to any interior dashboard photos of the Urbos 3 trams used on the L1 between Central and Dulwich Hill?

Would be much appreciated.

TIA,

Chris

Just a quick one for those who've moved up from driving 2 axle buses to 3 axle buses/ coaches.
What are the main differences driving wise? Do the 3 axles make it easier or harder?

TIA

I've seen a bus try to turn around in there while cars were illegally parked. That didn't seem like the easiest of manoeuvres to perform. I've also read stories (can't remember if it was here or in a facebook group) where buses made it to the wharf and couldn't engage reverse gear to make the 3 poin...

just a quick question about something I've always wondered in cases like this. If the bus has been repowered from a Leyland to an MAN, does that legally mean that it's no longer a Leyland and the rego sticker / paperwork would be changed to MAN?

Just curious.


Thanks in advance.

Chris

* When the former operator Connex took over Baxters services, there was a late afternon service from Parrmatta to Bankstown via Villawood and Bass Hill would have relief on Woodville Rd (route 907 today) - staff bus to and from the former Baxters Villawood Depot which was in operation by Connex and...

The routes these buses will be used on are not likely to suffer from overcrowding problems. Until, as is quite possible, they end upon the 333 or an m service That's a great point. If I seem to remember correctly, while STA were trialling one of these smaller buses a few months ago, it somehow was ...

It is certainly a better looking interchange than was the old rat infested obstacle course. Only concerns that I have heard so far would be the poles that buses have been side swiping when pulling out of the pick up ranks. I'd be interested to know which bus routes are going to use them street side ...

Excellent looking truck. I have driven a few of these and have found them extremely comfortable to drive.

Good pics of a nice lookin' bus

Thankyou for your compliments. I think i read it in another thread. Parramatta City Council owns the buses and Veolia supply the driver. The buses have Villawood accreditation.

I prefer driving a manual as opposed to an automatic vehicle, but can understand that there are reasons for and against both. I've thought for a long time that it should be compulsory for people to get their drivers licence on a manual vehicle. It may be something that one never uses, but what would...

You might want to start referring to the Mk2 O305 as a revenge weapon come APEC time.

This morning i spotted Veolia 23 m/o 4303 Leyland Leopard parked in at the Bankstown depot without a front numberplate. Could it be that this unit has been withdrawn?

This morning i spotted a brand new STA bus heading along Newbridge Rd in Milperra. It didn't have numberplates, but had 4909 as the fleet number along the roofline.

It happens at alot of places where people are slow getting off the train and delay people who are trying to get on the train. These aren't people who are physically challanged or anything, just people who take their time and delay the service further. The same can be said for bus services, where som...
