Going to Grafton and Yamba, at the moment they are in Laurieton and will head north during the week.

A B10m (early) now at Buladelah depot as of today, fleet number unknown as didnt catch it as we left Heatherbrae this morning.
Hey Matty, I must have overlooked this post. Can you confirm that (192) is now at Grafton and (241) is at Yamba?

Busways Kind of did rail replacement a few month back, with the ex- yarramalong buses on it. although i think this was booked into prior to the takeover.

Hi Ben,

with temp transfer of #607 it looks like it will be back in Laurieton early next week, as the sale of #655 fell through :( and #652 XXX box benz vario back to coonville opps Kempsey.
and

will get back to you with a fleet number, but a renualt from Port went north to Yamba late last week. think it was a MRC Reno.

Have you tried looking up the fleet list section Will?

So I wonder when the other 13 will be heading over here and which ones.
Thoughts are with the people in Victoria at this very bad time.

We need to do some m/o MO sorting out here.
MO 1197 was in fact reregd m/o 1197 some years ago.
MO 1198 was also reregd m/o 1199 some years ago.
MO 1198 and MO 1200 are correct.
MO 7722 and MO 7728 should be m/o 7722 and m/o 7728 and I believe these two were not previoulsy owned by Neil Smith.

Go to http://www.busaustralia.com/fleetlists/indbusdata.php and enter the correct regos as I have shown them and all will be revealed.
