Re: TV plates
As predicted, RMS are starting to re-issue gaps in the TV plate range starting in the low 1000s. TV 1089 is one example on a Higer.
Re: TV plates
Noticed a Premier Shoalhaven Yutong has been registered on National Heavy Vehicle plates. Is this a first?

Re: TV plates
This post has gone silent for some time now.
Any clarity yet as to what's happening with the TV plates or their replacements ?

Re: TV plates
The RMS seems to have gone back to TV.1000 onwards, and has started handing out those plates that were never issued originally.
On that basis, it will probably be quite a few years before they once again reach TV.9999.
Two questions ...
1. Are they only issuing those plates never issued the first time around, or are they also re-issuing the plates that have since been surrendered over the years.
2. What was their reason for having retained what seems like about 10% of all plates in the series.

Re: TV plates
Since November there has only been 1 plate issued, that was never issued, all the rest are what has been surrendered over the years

Re: TV plates
I saw a plate today on a Mercedes Vito minibus TV 11 LL (black on yellow). I've emailed the operator whether that was a personalised plate or a new TV format, still waiting to hear back from them.
The driver didn't seem to know the answer.

Re: TV plates
Checking on MyPlates, it seems that TV-nn-aa series are publicly available (except 12-LL).
If you ask for a random TV-nnnn number, it says that number is not available (although I don't know any unissued number to try). But interestingly it does throw up alternatives starting at TV-0001, and a few TV-2nn plates. But selecting any of these brings up a pop-up saying number not available.
From this, I would assume that the plate in question is not a new TV sequence. Also that TV-0001 onwards are earmarked for future release.

Re: TV plates
Seeing 'National Heavy Vehicle' plates appear on new coaches (eg AAT Kings). Will have to read up as not familiar with their intention, but could these take over from TV plates etc ?
Think for yourself, while it's still legal !
Re: TV plates
AAT Kings usually register their new vehicles in SA, taking advantage of lower stamp duty IIRC, then re-register in their home state. The second letter on heavy vehicles plates is the state of registration, so XN for NSW, XQ for Qld etc.
Re: TV plates
The reissuing appear to be a mixed up mess like the old system,just some june issues,1352,1013,1010,1144,1436

Re: TV plates
Looks like the RMS has now issued a brand new series of bus and coach plates.
A.L Tours of Luddenham evidently has new plate TV.024A on their Denning coach.
Meanwhile NSBC apparently have TV.004A on an ex Harris Park (via ??) Hino bus.
Presumably, them reverting to TV.1000 after reaching TV.9999 must have simply been a makeshift measure pending the release of these new plates.
26,000 plates eh?
That should take at least a few years to complete.

Re: TV plates
Although RMS only seem to be issuing the A plates at the moment. Wait and see if they exhaust all 1000 numbers (or thereabouts) before moving on to B then C and so on.

Re: TV plates
Trying out my new skills in using the Services NSW rego checker, TV024A doesn't produce a result, while TV032A comes up with the Landseer.

Re: TV plates
One of our colleagues has noted 11 plates issued to date between TV000A and TV040A. Two to KST, one to A.L. the others on mystery minibuses.

Re: TV plates
New TV plates will have an A at the end (example TV085A - Federation Tours Bellambi Merc O405NH with a Bustech body) to compensate!
Love the new Custom Denning vehicles
Including the Adventurer School Bus
And the Endeavour Low Floor
And the new Element 100% Electric Bus - the first Aussie BEV bus
