Re: Dyson Group News 2018
I have a query regarding new buses 1039 and 1040. These buses are shown on Fleet Lists as being from Reservoir depot but I have seen them on the 382, 566 and 567 routes so are they from Bundoora?
Re: Dyson Group News 2018
They may be on loan at the moment to Bundoora, due to the amount of buses being used on the Caulfield Group shutdownRichard1207 wrote:I have a query regarding new buses 1039 and 1040.

Re: Dyson Group News 2018
Saw those buses myself on the same routes Richard1207 mentioned in his post yesterday. They are probably on loan also because of Transdev's leasing as well.maxy54 wrote:They may be on loan at the moment to Bundoora, due to the amount of buses being used on the Caulfield Group shutdownRichard1207 wrote:I have a query regarding new buses 1039 and 1040.

Re: Dyson Group News 2018
UPDATE:
for info on bus 1043's body, it is an iriZar, according to Dyson and I believe the body style is the century series bodies,
1092AC is 1054
1093AC is 1055
1095AC is 1056
1443AC is 1057
And here's an almost forgotten about bus in the fleet - Bus 456, it was sold to Cross Country tours (Hunter valley coaches) there's a chance that the bus is no longer in their fleet...

Re: Dyson Group News 2018
East West #936 was on the 566 today. It's not the first time I've seen an East West bus on this route, but the first time I've seen one in East West livery. The ones I saw previously were in PTV livery.

Re: Dyson Group News 2018
Dysons 765 has been offered for sale after sustaining damage, the bus is being sold on mainheim auctions
I sighted bus 710 back in Wodonga yesterday, was the bus in Wodonga disused or the Shepparton move was a temporary loan, also, 711 is also definitely in Wodonga, it's been in Wodonga for a few months now since the rail replacement in oct. Last year

WODONGA AND SHEPPARTON DEPOT SPECIAL:
BS03WB and BS03WC are 1051 and 1052, are Wodonga school buses
With bus 250 being transferred to the depot, 710 returned to Wodonga, however, it may be shifted around a little.
And for Shepparton depot is bus 1053, this bus did school runs in torrumbarry but the school closed, since then, it now does school runs from Kialla Central P.S.

Re: Dyson Group News 2018
I saw one of the new buses departing Northland today on the 517 route but I wasn't close enough to be sure of the fleet number. It looked like 1047, is this bus in service? It doesn't appear on Fleet Lists.
Re: Dyson Group News 2018
Reports of it being in service since at least Monday afternoon.Richard1207 wrote:I saw one of the new buses departing Northland today on the 517 route but I wasn't close enough to be sure of the fleet number. It looked like 1047, is this bus in service? It doesn't appear on Fleet Lists.

Fleet #1043 is the newly allocated bus on the Kialla Central school run- not #1053.

Re: Dyson Group News 2018
All of the Volgren Optimus buses in Wodonga depot (except 859 and 915) have been sent to QLD for the 2018 Commonwealth games......
Are there any other buses from all the other depots that went to QLD or is it just those four???

Re: Dyson Group News 2018
Slightly off topic, but didn't think its worthy of its own topic. But with all these vehicles going to the Gold Coast it Will be interesting to see what appears over the next few weeks on the 2 major Metro trains shutdowns (Hurstbridge line and Dandenong line)plus the 60 odd vehicles on Yarra Trams Replacements.
Re: Dyson Group News 2018
And added to the mix a huge weekend shutdown on the Frankston/Stony Point line from 7:30pm 6 April until 8 April, nothing running south of Moorabbin...!

Re: Dyson Group News 2018
Interesting point. On Friday night at Greensborough waiting in Para Rd, I noted as many plain white (Sita?) buses on rail replacement as Dysons liveried vehicles.Slightly off topic, but didn't think its worthy of its own topic.

Re: Dyson Group News 2018
Transdev has notices on the wall for the Frankston shutdown
Perhaps Ventura will do the bulk of the Trams & Pakenham/Cranbourne themselves,providing they have the drivers, certainly would have have the buses in the school holidays

Re: Dyson Group News 2018
I have a query regarding Bus 1029’s runs, It usually does the Corowa Albury run, hence saying it on the Desto, but I saw it doing charters for the Wodonga P.S a few times, does it do that in its spare time or does a Wangaratta vehicle do the Corowa Albury run when 1029 is on a Charter....
