I saw this same bus in a Field in South Nietta, Tasmania back in January 2006. It was then being converted to a House Bus.... but the Lady owner had not continued. I think her partner had passed away recently then. The bus is fitted with a pneumo-cyclic gear change unit that also opened the doors, m...

Hi. Just seen your message.... I remember doing some research on the AEC RP Reliance coaches back in about 2004 period. I traced all three and my research was that only the AEC Reliance chassis came to NZ and not the Park Royal bodies. They were all rebodied in NZ by Bonnici (??) I did trace the one...

Your last sentence is correct and TSA are using their own fleet numbering system. There were some buses in the new bus range which went to STA and were transferred to TSA on 1st July, the same as older buses. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sydney_Metropolitan_Bus_Service_Contracts under region 6...

5 October. I see buses transferred to Transit Systems are listed in BusAus Disposal Listing. Yes because they are no longer operated by STA. OK...so to further my understand of the implications of the transfers of the buses.....to Transit Systems.... Will that now mean with 2866-2862/2904-2912/2933...

Try http://fleetlists.busaustralia.com/indbusdata.php?requesttype=Regorange&reqtype=m%2Fo10 That's an interesting link, thanks. I hadn't realised this facility was there on BusAus. Using the Plate Search, I assume that I should be able to find which Company was ORIGINALLY issued with M/O Plates...

For 1001-1099 I heard that someone was assigned MO1001 and a few others before STA was. So STA skipped 1001-1099 and started the O405NH's at 1101 instead. Note: I can't confirm this, I just remember reading somewhere about this Rechecking my lists, I see that Second Series No 1000 was not used, it ...

In my "Ongoing Photo Request 2018" ... http://www.busaustralia.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=85302&sid=1a299da9d659be24581bb1352b0227c7....... I mentioned that some Fleet Numbers of STA buses - and its predecessors - had not been used. I'm no 'expert' on this topic, but since 2002...

Yes, because they were part of that fleet (just withdrawn from State Transit service rather earlier than would normally be the case :P )............And depending on your own personal rules for this collection, that may allow you to consolidate number ranges, too. (Depends on how you treat a continu...
