How many of these are there now??

I saw a photoshopped 3 axle ACTION Scania "mock up" while at the Custom Coaches factory in Sydney. I didn't realise at the time that they were making them for real!

Edit - read post down below and realise there are 26 coming. Good stuff!

Job done.

Last I saw there were 3. Tuggeranong has the other 2, but as of last Sunday they were still without rego plates.

None of the new buses are registered except for 464 and 409 which if it hasn't already entered service will enter service tomorrow or early next week, driver training is yet to commence on the 14.5s.

I have no idea what they are doing but from the time of delivery it took over two months to get 405 into service. They have currently have 19 new MANs in service with a further 16 undergoing 'Pre-service Maintenance' *(AKA sitting in a depot doing nothing). The 3 14.5s are also sitting around doing nothing as is the albino Scania 490, which has been sitting on the Tuggeranong bricks for almost a month waiting for a new window.
