Noted the Grays Line "tram bus" back on the streets a lot recently. Has it been off the road or have I just not seen it for a long time?

Nope - there are still two in each direction on Saturday.

Talked to royaltiger, who is now doing the destos, and he's mentioned the desto AREA is smaller than the CB60s, because the LED programming for the CB60s, THIS ISN'T a problem. Just something else CHANGED for this particular NEW model. So much for standardisation :roll: I'll TRY and get a pic of th...

haha you beat me to it. saw them there myself. if i had taken my phone to work could have taken a snap!

The second of the four CB80 artics was delivered at 11.30 this morning.

The 2nd pic (#234) would have been replaced by a 1968 SB3 Bedford with Freighter body :mrgreen: Sorry littl' buddy[/b] wasn't that trolley bus burnt out side the cascade brewery! Pretty close to it captainch I think it was just prior to the Brewery, as I have a photo of the turning circle infrastru...

First bus I ever caught to school, dog of a thing, was often to be seen on the 85 and 141 plying between Eastwood the Uni and Ryde. Athol Hedges body from memory so you could be right.

The good old Route 75 to EPPING HIGHWAY. From memory terminated in that dead end part of Blenheim Rd below what was then a golf driving range. Epping Highway was one of those popularly used but never official names .... always has been Epping Road but known as the highway since my earliest recollect...

Leyland National 601 had the honour of being the first vehicle to be housed in the almost complete display hall. Bedford 249 will join it tomorrow when they both return from the Metro Family Day display.

I remember seeing some kind of plaque near the East Ryde shops just a couple of years back marking the establishment of the Dress Circle Estate. I would presume it is still there.

Hobart Hopper - HCCs free Saturday service linking Salamanca with council's carparks, commences a new route this Saturday, and I think under a new contract, as it went to tender last year. Don't know who won it, or what vehicles will be used. Importantly the new route includes Stop B in the Hobart B...

Ex Metro MAN 514 now registered C42ZA at Springvale Lodge, New Town.

That second last shot.... a Leyland half cab between tram track and trolley bus overhead.... what a combo

Concession fares will not increase. Residents of certain areas would be happy about that . Crass political oppotunism if you ask me. Still, not unique to Tasmania. the Pensioner Excursion Ticket in my old home town is still the same price as when I started there in 2005 and is also not being increa...

139, sporting a plain white front, spotted arriving at Springfield about 12.55pm today. It on the For Sale list, maybe a buyer??

The concrete for the main part of the hall was poured last Thursday, giving some concept of the interior size.

Selection of shots mostly taken at Fern Tree, one in Antill Street. Observed 6 O'Dricolls Coaches #31, #20, #33, #34, #19, #23 plus 29 Metro buses (in order of ascent) 655, 647, 625, 115, 638, 644, 624, 173, Unknown Orana possibly 635, 620, 150, 637, 153, 195, 15, 138, 145, 634, 613, 146, 149, 652,...

A great job as always. Looked fantastic.

49 to be exact, 34 from Metro and another 15 from O'Driscoll's. All vehicles need to be past the Strickland Avenue junction before 7AM. I was told 47 from Metro alone + 15 x O'D. Probably cancelled some over the last week or so :roll: The original charter was for 47 buses in total. I remember my fi...

It was poor old 721 stuck at the lights on Springfield Ave about to cross Main Rd from about 7.20am. Was there for about 45 minutes before it was able to get moving.

I think you'll find that it's remained separate for so long because the few bucks charged paid for the service provided, the trips to Olympic Park however are massively subsidised and have been from the start Be surprised if the fares covered the costs, and AFAIK the service has been paid for in pa...

Taken just over a week ago the Tasmanian Transport Museum Road Transport Display Hall is now starting to take shape. In this view most of the cladding has now been applied. Next big job is the concrete pour.

That's what I call variety ... eveything from creaking old relics to the latest on offer. Must have been Bus Nut heaven down there.
