Re: Bus Observations 2024.
Will the B12BLE Euro 3s be replacing some of the O405NHs in the U-Go Fleet?

Re: NSW Electric Bus Plan
Are operators other than TSA R6 getting electric buses this year such as U-Go, TSA R3,2, Busways, CDC NSW etc?

Re: Bus Observations 2024.
I'm assuming these buses will replace the ex BT Mercedes O500LEs and the remaining B12BLE Euro 3s once the shutdown ends.

Re: Fleet lists missing
Also have there been issues with updating the fleet lists lately as I noticed that there are very few changes to the fleet lists for all states compared to before the board outage last week?

Re: Bus Observations 2024.
Source please - There aren't any news articles suggesting a bus fire today or yesterday. Or did you see it in person?

Re: NSW Electric Bus Plan
Anyone knows when the CDC NSW Volvo BZLs will start entering service?
I'm guessing that Mt Kuring Gai will first get them since they already have electric buses.

Re: Bus Observations 2024.
They likely will, but like this weekends bus replacement services, they will be operating a route or two while other operators/charter operators will operate other routes. The T4 rail replacement operation is massive with at least 5 replacement bus routes, there is no way one operator can do it them...

Re: NSW Electric Bus Plan
Happened to see a Foton Electric bus at Bankstown interchange doing rail. Not sure of the operator but it is operating on route 14T3 all stops to Cabramatta so I assume it's either operated by PBC or Kinetic

Re: NSW Electric Bus Plan
It seems we have a new player in the NSW electric bus market - Guangtong. I noticed in the Fleetlists that NSBC is getting a Guangtong electric coach. I was expecting them to get the Yutong C12E

Re: NSW Electric Bus Plan
Does anyone reckon the Yutong E12s accelerate too fast? I saw a standing elderly lady almost fall over on an Interline E12 when the driver accelerated.

Re: NSW Electric Bus Plan
Are the elements in the TSA to be delivered list actually meant for Stationlink T3 (July 2024) cause it has been almost a year and only 4 of those have entered service?

Re: New bus contracts to drive improved services (as from 2020)
Will routes 922-927 be operated by a mix of buses from Revesby and Hannans Road depots or will it still be Revesby depot themselves?

Re: New bus contracts to drive improved services (as from 2020)
Has Transdev m/o 6950 been transferred to Revesby depot from Kingsgrove? A bit late to mention but saw that running operating a 922 to East Hills last Saturday. 922 is only operated by Revesby depot.
FYI - 6950 is a Mercedes 0500LE Euro 6 with a Bustech VST Mark 4.

With the first CD Elements entering service at Kingsgrove
I have a feeling that the retirement of L113CRLs are imminent.

Re: New bus contracts to drive improved services (as from 2020)
I have a feeling that the PBC L113CRLs and L94UBs will not be handed over to U-Go mobility once the contract ends as I noticed that they are being repainted from TNSW livery to white with red bumpers.

Re: Bus Observations 2023
Does the new R12 contract mean early retirement for the older low-floor buses at Mt Kuring Gai depot? I noticed that in the Fleetlists that some of the O405NHs, L94UB(7646-7648) were placed into storage. An example of what I am talking about https://fleetlists.busaustralia.com/indbusdata.php?tdv=ON&...

Re: NSW Electric Bus Plan
The electric bus rollout timeline has changed, we will no longer get 8000 electric buses by 2030.
