Tranzit need at least 29 coaches for RWC work - all need to be unbranded - ie white - they are the official team coaches, hence none of the new Scanias will be given a new livery until after the RWC. On another note the Newwmans brand is no longer used on coaches - Ritchies 556 is the latest to change from Newmans to Intercity.

Spotted Go Bus 81 on school bus services this morning, first time I've seen an O.305 rebuild on school services for a very long time.

Also can anyone confirm that Go Bus Hamilton have RT installed in the urban fleet?

Can anyone confirm that both Tranzit 1036 and 1037 (2004 volvo B10M with Kiwi bodywork) both had or still have Grand Pacific Tours livery at some point in time???

many thanks in advance..

by **Petenz** » Mon May 30, 2011 8:57 pm

Both had Grand Pacific livery - got photos of both in that livery - both now white - newer coaches on this tour circuit now - such as 1116, 1036/7 now white for RWC duties.

Yes very interesting indeed. I wonder if it will feature and the NSW bus show this coming August? Also I believe this will be the second export to Australia for Kiwi Bus Builders after Mee's #15 Iveco?

Great pic.is it single door or two door?

I guess this might be the Local version Demo Enviro 500 that rumours talk about?
