Hobart variety - Around suburbs
Thought I'd try a few different locations for photos today, and centred on the suburbs, whilst taking advantage of buses running off to their respective depots. Around 8:30 - 9:00am saw a large number of vehicles, which saved moving about. Enjoy :D DSCN8185.JPG DSCN8186.JPG DSCN8191.JPG DSCN8208.JP...

Re: Tasmania's own Redline. 18/4/21
YES Centralian. #68 was the one with engine bay fire, since rebuilt. Interesting to note nowadays, all Csepel / Autobuses have been withdrawn (#64, #66, #68 & #69) The last photo of #68, shows the new corporate livery of Redline now.

Re: Tasmania's Own Redline
Well said Centralian. I too, (unfortunately) only try and take the subject rather than including background Interesting to note, since these photos have been taken, Tasmania's own Redline have been bought out by Kinetic Group and much of the livery on display here is starting to disappear.

Re: Merseylink Devonport
From what I believe, all Oranas (ex Metro) have been withdrawn and there's about 6 or 8 new O500 MB with Volgren bodies now in service. In September, Merseylink took over B.Woodcock in Sheffield, along with 4 buses.

Metro Tasmania has almost completed their bus acquisition prog...
