There are a few which have it now, I think it may be due to rear door boarding in peak hour. Either that or someone had a surplus of stickers and they just put it anywhere. Good photos there!

Nice shot of the NT number plate there but a pity that the paint is starting to flake off.

I really don't think the Canberra livery suits the "stepped Window" design - too much green!!
Re: Canberra - Australia Day trip (Part 2)
Well don't look at the new 14.5's then, waaaay too much green

Re: Canberra - Australia Day trip (Part 2)
I would assume you are talking about the orange light bar. I've been told it has to do with the fact that these vehicles park in bus stops from time to time to deal with bus issues/change timetable info & can be parked right up the rear which could place them right at the rear of a bus. This way they can be easily seen without affecting the vision of either the Supervisors/mechanics/bus drivers/other drivers.
Apparently a Supervisor brought up the idea of the lights & had to fight for ACTION to fund the lights.
