Looks like a new AWC 001 'Dream On' premium vehicle in the Australia Wide fleet. Scania with current style Coach Design body.<br />Seen here ready to pick up a group from 'Lilianfels' in Katoomba.

Spotted in BM Transit Katoomba depot this morning was this M-Benz Sprinter demonstrator CN39JJ.<br />Is this the style of the proposed trial 'on-demand' buses for certain areas of Sydney ?

Very interesting selection Stefan!!!

The new accreditation for Sydney's Amazing Coach Tours is Independant Building Supplies Pty.Ltd of 125-127 Woodpark Road,Smithfield.That indicates an ownership change from Rob Griffiths.
The address is Hopkinsons depot.Wonder whether a Hopkinson family member re entering the fray ??
Interesting.
