Looks like there was an error, corrected now. Thanks.

Hi Thommo,
I have recently updated the Busways fleet list with all the re-regs on the Central Coast, see here: http://www.busaustralia.com/fleetlists/bus.php?

Double check 953, 943 has already been reported with that rego.

Ahh ok.. I won't be back up there for some time however some users up there may be able to assist with getting the correct rego's of 943 & 953?

It was at school today, But I had forgoten about this problem. Will take note next time I see it.

I was up at Gosford today and saw the following at Gosford Station:

953 6583 MO
955 6648 MO
956 6649 MO

All were acc'd to Gosford.

Somebody really F'd Up...
953 is 6649-MO...

[C130]

952 is 6648-MO, not 955...

Just an update on progress from the Bustech factory when I visited on Friday. About 10 or so MAN 18.310s were being framed up at the start of the line, these won't be complete for some time so looks like there will be a slow down in deliveries. About a dozen XDi's were being completed for Sunbus ahead of the Busways units. The remaining 17 MAN 18.280 school bus chassis were all delivered and some were beginning to be prepared for build. This order should run up to about May.

I got a bit of a shock to see fleet 300 return to Blacktown. It has been transferred from Port Macquarie I assume.

[gangsters4life]

isnt 300 rego get changed to 1055 MO

[J.D]

Yes that is what it was according to the fleet list. However it appears that it has now been re-registered as M/O 9172.

[PeterT]

Regarding the photo of fleet 300, isn't bus 295 already registered mo9172 in the metro system, or has it's rego been changed.

[Daniel]

Can someone please get confirmation of 295's rego? I suspect that 295 may have been reported incorrectly when it was re-registered.
Also we have an error with 563 and 568 both reported as m/o 5160. Can anyone get correct details for those?

[Bus525]

That must be an old photo of 300,it was in Port Macquarie yesterday as 1055 MO.

[Daniel]

So the plot thickens...
300 used to be registered as m/o 9178. Unless that was a mistake in the list also!

[Bus525]

At one stage it had the plates M/O 9178 as there was a photo posted when it was doing the city rail with that plate.

[Daniel]

Yes you are correct.
So could the progression have been: m/o 9178 > m/o 9172 > 1055 MO?
J.D when was your picture taken???

[J.D]

Photo was taken on the 19th February 2010 at approximately 530pm.

[gangsters4life]

563-m/o-5160
568-m/o-5169

[gangsters4life]

fleet 300 had the red and yellow strips when it left so i would say it has come ack in the new livery

[C130]

743(Gosford) is in an AOA for SeaFM’s Paddy and Ciel, probally trying to get more exposure after Star FM kicked there arse in the ratings

[Bus525]

Don't know what the story is with 300 but it was in Port Macquarie this afternoon on a school run still with plates 1055 MO.

Been thinking has 295 been resprayed and the wrong number been added.Just guessing.

Well m/o 9172 with fleet 300 as well was doing a 745 to St Marys this afternoon! There is a mistake somewhere.
