Looking at the fleet list, there are quite a few re-registrations of the MANs missing especially between 1208 and 1222 - can anyone fill the gaps?
yolo seems to be a bit of a trend!

1229 is the only bus that hasn't been adjusted on the Fleet Lists website.

1208, 1220-1222, 1230-1238, 1253 onwards have not yet been re-registered!

1229 is 229JPA

Not sure if this has been posted already or not, but 1264 is in service. Saw it this morning doing a 384 service at the Riverside Centre in the City.
I would love to be a bus driver, but I don't want to be!

Interesting, cause I received a report last night that this bus was at tech services undergoing final tests before it enters service, but hopefully will be able to find out more today.

Is bus 1264 supposed to have a ZF or a Voith transmission?

Voith IIRC. I am sure 888 said 1261 with voith then 2 more with ZF (1262 and 1263) So that should mean 1264 should have a voith. 888 will have to provide the answers though. Or we will just have to ride the bus and guess! Not that hard to tell the difference between a 6 speed and 4 speed. If you know what your looking/listening for.

Fleetlists, can MAN SL200/PMC C944 be re-instated to the Fleet List?

This bus was sitting at the front of lane 21 at Toowong depot tonight, of which I parked my 815 on lane 22 which was defective, to take out 1264 for my run :lol: (finally, I got to drive a Voith MAN)
