heard that some buses will be sent up from central coast depots soon, K92s and some shitbox volvos, and 2 o405'S from somewhere.

we have asked for another O405, due to route runs changing on the 19th and Sydney HO forgeting that out 2x Pr100's route buses can't handle the loadings, (they putting more school kids on route runs) on a bus that is 57seat 9 standing :?
shame we only have one O405NH

And how many seated? 57 seated and a handful standing still equates as more pax than a lowly O.305.

Saw no. 835 at lisarow this morning, wich is weird, as only last week it was reported at wyong, but was seen deep in Gosford Teritory. Does this mean it has been moved so early, or would it have been at gosford getting something done?

Saw 656 at the roundabot at the intersection of the enterance rd and the Pacific Hwy this arvo. Still had fleet no.s on it, though no logos. It was carrying what looked like school kids and the driver was wearing a uniform that looked similar to busways. Mabye its is still in their possesion, o mabye it has been sold.

#656 may be one of the two buses used to transfer Busways head office employees from the Central Coast to Pymble.

Hey Matty, I must have overlooked this post. Can you confirm that (192) is now at Grafton and (241) is at Yamba?
