Re: ACTION Fleet Changes- August to December 2009
While heading through Belconnen depot today with a driver I knew I saw what I thought was a gas MAN in the workshops. The driver has his doubts and went in to ask the starters about it.
Upon questioning the starters said that it was in fact the first of 72 diesel MANs that will be delivered to Belconnen depot. BUS 390 was delivered at some stage yesterday and according to the starters it has some grunt!

Re: ACTION Fleet Changes- August to December 2009
394 and 395 both arrived early last week with 396 arriving early this morning.
390 is back on the road after an oil leak followed by a trip to the bus and coach show. It was seen parked in the sheds for the first time this morning (up until now it has been based out of the workshops). 390 remains the only one of these 7 buses in service and it is believed that 392 and 393 are the two Euro IV (18.310) units.

Re: ACTION Fleet Changes- August to December 2009
397 and 399 have both now arrived, no sign of 398 yet.
Also may be a possibility that 391 has entered service after finding the following quote on another members Twitter feed.

Sauces reports that 391 may have been on the road yesterday (15/10), but this is uncorroborated. (My source is named 'sauces').

Re: ACTION Fleet Changes- August to December 2009
391 has definitely entered service, was sighted on a 313 on Thursday.
398 has arrived at Belco depot, last Monday or Tuesday I think.
108 was sighted with a new AOA today for ActewAGL/Transact
