Re: Tasmanian 2011 Tour - NW Coast
Well everyone, the time has arrived Those wishing to park @ Metro (Hobart) CAN DO SO, as we are allowed to park in the secure parking overnight. Access to parking will be via Springfield Ave, through the depot and into the Tregear Carpark. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE YOUR HI-VIS VEST, as you have to walk through the depot to get back out the front.
jonwendes, parking in L'ton depot is OK. Will advise your details to management TODAY whilst passing through Launceston.
For those joining in Launceston, reminder pick-up time is 0900 @ METRO Launceston. Coach (should) be arriving from Hobart at that time.
Thank you to those that have paid in advance. That will make things easier on the day.
Although I haven't been advised re: HI VIS VESTS around the various locations, please bring them with you (just in case).
Thanks guys from Neil TBN. Fingers crossed for the weather. Let's have a great weekend. Cheers

Re: Tasmanian 2011 Tour - NW Coast
That will be dificult as the only places left are the West Coast and east coast and I dont think there any large operators on the east coast and I know there are not any on the West Coast so may be a return Hobart Tour ? Anyway another year for that plus the proposed Sydney Bus Show tour later this yearBedford-29 wrote:Next year I will make bloody sure I get my plane ticket gets well and truly booked before the blasted school holidays.And Neil make sure next year Bus nut safari is another two dayer.

Melbourne contingent arrived back almost on time (well done Jetstar!).
An outstanding organisational effort from Neil and the team, with a packed itinerary and then a surprise around almost every corner. Congratulations to the TBCS.
