Up by another 16 in the past month - at this rate we will never get them all done,

[ryanmuzza]

When is the deadline again???

[Punchbowl Tiger Cub]

You might well ask that - some operators are rapidly applying TNSW livery as stipulated in their contract paperwork whilst others have basically made little headway and given the numbers involved,may never get there.I know it depends on what contracts specifiy for a particular operator but the whole rebranding is a farce.

A personal view from my trade background but some of the repaints I have noticed in recent times of a couple of operators are very quick and not the best quality - body rub back and prep is ordinary to say the least.

[iamthouth]

Refurbs including livery are only done at midlife of the 25 year maximum contract bus age, so could take another 10+ years before all are done. New buses (growth and replacements) must be in the new livery, and I guess major accident damage may result in a new livery as well.

We haven't heard much about this yet, but the Rapid routes mentioned in the Sydney's Bus Future may include livery changes, possibly removal of metrobus to TNSW livery or a new brand entirely.

Spotted out in Region 1 today was Busways Penrith #1127 painted in Transport NSW livery after receiving repairs after being involved in an recent accident.

After going through the photos on my phone earlier today, I came across this shot of Hillsbus Seven Hills m/o 1480 Volvo B10BLE/Custom Coaches CB60 that I took on Monday 10th November at Parramatta:

It looks as though there is now also New South Wales Trainlink version of this livery for coaches operating for them see http://www.busaustralia.com/forum/viewt ... &start=400 and also https://www.facebook.com/transitgraphics.au

I don't mind it. It looks better than PTV's purple jigsaw-puzzle with the horrid fluro yellow reflective strips.

Thanks,

Saw one of Busabout's XDi-front VSTs (18.310s and early 18.320s) in TfNSW livery, with the new Hop logos yesterday. I don't have a rego as I only managed to get a quick glimpse of it, but since it has the new logos I'm guessing it might be a repaint of an 18.310?

[busspot]

Hillsbus Seven Hills's m/o 8341 now in TfNSW livery. Why are the windows always covered over now?

the VST you saw was MAN 18320 m/o 5087 with it's black section also painted blue and recently got the flower on the front replaced with the hop logo

Another nine - we will never get there at this rate and of those 9 two are for Coastal Liner - to be delivered. It will be interesting to see if they are true TNSW livery as previous ones have been a bastardised version see http://www.busaustralia.com/gallery/dis ... pos=-10773

[m/o 6234]

There blue will get photos in the next week or so depends on spare time. Unless they have been repainted happily to be corrected.

[Stu]

That photo of the Coastal Liner bus is certainly unique. I thought that hybrid TfNSW liveries were not allowed by TfNSW after Forest Coach Lines briefly went down that path and have since conformed to the required TfNSW livery.
