[Fleet Lists]

A minor adjustment has been made which now shows the total number of buses as 5076 instead of 5138. This has been achieved by excluding coaches with TV plates from the totals. If ever we see a TV plated vehicle in TNSW livery we may have to give this a bit more thought.

Percentages for individual operators will also go up for operators who have TV plated coaches.

Morriset service?

No

[Mr Twig]

There's another Red Bus in TNSW livery. Unfortunately I only got quick glance but it looked like an Isuzu. Hopefully someone else can verify.

[Fleet Lists]

Another slight adjustment has been made to the calculation of the fleet and overall percentages.

In the case of Busways only buses at Camden, Campbelltown, Blacktown, Gosford and Wyong are included. Buses at their country depots are now not included. This reduces their eligible number of buses from 678 to 384,

I've seen a few doing L85 runs during the day, but still, never any L90. L88, Any E bus, or any other northern beaches buses.

Are they going to repaint the ones at Mona Vale or Brookvale???

[Daniel]

Only new buses and refurbished buses will wear the TNSW livery. At the moment there are no new or refurbished buses for the Northern Beaches. Just wait and eventually they will appear.

Up to 308 this week with 7 more for CDC and one for STA.

Two buses which are now in TNSW livery and aren't attached to an operator (and hence aren't listed) is the original CB80 Mercedes O500LE which was a demo most recently as BI50AU and the Alexander Dennis Enviro200 which was shown at the 2011 Sydney Bus Show.

[doug c]

Who is using the CB80 demo?

[Alfy]

is this part of the total government takeover that has been a rumour for years that may be a plan happening with the subsidising of new vehicles ????

[Tonymercury]

Don't tell anyone, but there is a real secret around - the gummint has already taken over by signing everyone to contracts.

Remember whoever controls the purse strings controls all.

[Daniel]

Who is using the CB80 demo?

Been sitting at Mercedes Huntingwood for some time now.

Red Bus Service #27 (2558-MO) is now in TNSW livery, sighted turing onto Dane Drive, Gosford this afternoon

Nice pic. I sighted this bus in February but wasn't able to get a pic. Like its cousin #43, NSW logo is in a strange position.

It is certainly slow going with only two more this week
