Orana Photos

Hi, Would anyone have any photos of Orana's as delivered in the early-mid 90's., or even under construction at Ansair that would be very much appreciated, prior to the days of leaving them a bit white here and there, one side repainted one not etc. I remember some media photos in the Rosny Bus Mall ...

Re: Metro #657 Scania N113 Ansair Orana

Is there any plans to acquire 659 (presumably the last Ansair Bus to built in Tasmania) for preservation, as I suspect the Orana's are on a limited life span? I may be able to assist somehow, not sure how but I am keen to look at some possibilities.

Re: Tasmanian Bus Observations - JAN > JUN 2018

Not so much a bus observation than a bus depot observation but a 20t Excavator has made light work of the former Metro Mornington Depot.

Apart from a little bit standing it’s a pile of rubble as of about lunch time today.
