Re: General - Auckland (Part 3)
It appears that Ritchies also have on loan "Uzabus" ( Madge Coachlines ) #552 - Volvo B7LE/Kiwi, spotted on Western line Rail Replacement services yesterday, Destination signs displaying "Ritchies".

Re: General - Auckland (Part 3)
Good Photos petenz
I'm very surprised Leopard sold leopard 22 as they don't have alot of orbiter painted buses on the Orbiter route >.<. Leopard are usually forced to put Leopard Urban Cats and Mega Movers on the route.

Leopard still own 22 through Bus Travel - ex Greg Paul - will probably get renumbered tho.
Re: General - Auckland (Part 3)
Hmmm seems a bit strange, We had been running trains again for an hour and a half by that stage...

Re: General - Auckland (Part 3)
strange have You forgetten about the 5 car sa set breaking down?
Re: General - Auckland (Part 3)
Considering I was working at the controlling Signalbox at Otahuhu at the time, which makes me the person in charge, I think I would have a fair idea on what was going on at the time mate...
By the way, that freight was not there for 3 hours, only just under 2, and the SA5 did not break down on any running lines, therefore was not blocking anything. Veolia may have provided replacement buses, but for that train service at that time only. The freight train was completely seperate and was cleared up an hour and a half before anything to do with a passenger breakdown occured...

Re: General - Auckland (Part 3)
Correct. They were only even temporary, hence why they were never painted, only wrapped.
Re: General - Auckland (Part 3)
There are going to be a lot of multi-coloured Buses circulating around Auckland!!
Re: General - Auckland (Part 3)
Uzabus 551 and 552 ( ex Bayline) are on loan to Ritchies until Designline buses arrive in Dunedin and Swanson gets its Scanias back.
Re: General - Auckland (Part 3)
So Designline are still in production?.....
Re: General - Auckland (Part 3)
