Gold Coast Citybus & Surfside back in the 80's n 90's!

Post by Bus_Control »

As they were my very first employer and my entry into the bus industry, I'd really like to see if anyone has a collection of their fleet that they can share with us?? I also want to see if anyone has any early Surfside pics of the early to mid 90's particularly of the ex-BT B59's!

Ok, I'll get the ball rolling. Here's a shot of a National I took at Bay Street Tweed Heads sometime in 1990, possibly June/July.

The best period for Surfside was from about this time until all the ex Government 2nd hand buses they had from various places went (about 1998-9 from memory). 1991 was probably the best time as they had a large amount of ex-Action vehicles which made a visit to the GC an absolute pleasure.
