Organised by Sydney Bus Museum and is on today, don’t miss it - 10am Wynyard York St.

Get over yourself tonyp... now you’re onto randomly critising apprentices. Seriously, what the!

The P batch onwards are also Euro 6 variants.

On Friday it was seen entering Transit System’s Leichhardt depot.

Yes it will be added in due course...

eTenders is only as good as the information put into it, when it comes to extensions granted it is often not updated. At this point that is the offical extension granted, it may be extended further. There is no online source for you to quote.

STA’s specified throttle delay.

To continue from above, from eTendering NSW, the first one to expire is Transdev's region 10, expiring 31 December 2019. However, the information has not been updated since June 2016. Same for region 13 which expires 30 April 2020. Regions 1, 3, 12 and 14 which were tendered November 2012, were las...

Future Transport 2056 notes electrification of intercity lines to Bomaderry, Bathurst and Goulburn as a 10-20 year initiatives for investigation and the Hunter line to Telarah as a 20+ year initiative.

While driving past the rear fence of Busways Kincumber depot, I noticed on the corner of my eye what looked to be quite a few CC Mercedes 0405s in the rear row. Usually only noticed Butechs there of late. Have they taken another final influx of such units from their other operations before they eve...

What new buses have R received, in taking on older buses and losing newer buses? Or are these movements looking forward to CSELR opening within 3 months?

Good point. The decker feels more ventilated though, with both cab side windows open the driver gets a strong cross breeze feeling which helps offset the engine heat.

Having driven AEC 2878 about a fortnight ago, yes they generally feel hotter insider than an equivalent decker.

Although RMS only seem to be issuing the A plates at the moment. Wait and see if they exhaust all 1000 numbers (or thereabouts) before moving on to B then C and so on.

Don’t forget also 4867 T to B.

Keep in mind that the current Endeavour fleet is notoriously underutilised.

This is in relation to the XPT replacements, which are due ahead of the Endeavour/Explorer replacements.

Probably stage 1 of a 2 step exit plan for the Calabros. Maybe like Volgren was for the Grendas. There might be a real possibility that the NSW branch of the Calabro family won't make a bid on a Transport For NSW SMBSC contract when the contracts go to tender next under accreditation Neville's Bus ...

Hino Poncho.

The new Custom model is called the Endeavour.

It's been in service for weeks now on the BYD rosters.

Already exists. Kiama is trailing real time tracking and Opal using a Samsung device in a specialised dock.

If you ever feel like another project, conversion of the current fleet lists which are just text files displayed via php script, to an actual database would be extremely helpful.

There is no publicly available link at the request of the operator.
