Redline NOT able to standardise on their livery AGAIN!!! The BCI DOES look good, however (& this will make you happy) the Landseer looks the best, like a REAL coach. After working for Redline for 10yrs, I've seen enough of the PMC Mercedes. Like everything, it might be because most of them are nearly all-white rather than with livery. Any idea what this particular BCI from Redline is used for?? Main Rd services? OR tours?? Were you there for the Hawthorn/Brisbane match last weekend??

Not sure on this Neil, but it could be the BCI used on the Delorane to Lton main road run?

Looks to be another, the City to Surf had a higher window line.

I think the City to Surf is still based in Hobart

But hey, I could be wrong!

The BCI in this post is #35 and BRAND NEW. The BCI Redline aquired through Surf to City, is #34 AND is still running the Dodges Ferry route (as @ 2.35pm this afternoon) which is the latest sighting of it. They also have (2) others that I am aware #38 (49 seater with WC) and #51 (57 seater). This particular one in this thread, however, is the only one that appears in this livery.
