Summary of Buses in Transport NSW livery

[lunchbox]

I searched the word "moustache" on this thread, for nil result. So, what's the story behind the moustaches on the Bustechs?

Movember.

Any reason why Punchbowl is so much higher than everyone else??

[Fleet Lists]

Their latest contract stated they had to repaint and they did while other operators did not.

I have also been wondering that but I dont think it has anything to do with this thread.

46 in the last three months

46 in the last three months

Net or nominal increase?

[iamthouth]

CDC and Transdev will take a big leap in the next coming months as they receive deliveries for the Epping to Chatswood shut down.

[Daniel]

Exactly right. Plus a reasonable amount to come shortly for STA and then Busabout.

[Campbelltown busboy]

Exactly right. Plus a reasonable amount to come shortly for STA and then Busabout.

With most of the buses in Region 15 built 2009 and later being some type of MAN chassis with a Bustech VST body I know the body of the next batch of new buses for Busabout will most likely be the Bustech VST but I would be suprised if the chassis of the buses are anything other than the MAN 19.320 HOCL-R-NL

So looking through CDC's fleetlists I've come across 8121 MO from Morisset and apparently it changed from Morriset livery on 27/08/2016 to Transport NSW Livery. Only for it in the last month (17/02/2018) to go back to the old Morriset livery from the Transport NSW one.
https://fleetlists.busaustralia.com/ind ... DC&busreq=

How common is it for buses to get Transport NSW Livery only later to go back to their old pre-transport NSW livery? I'm guessing 8121 MO isn't under Transport NSW operations anymore unless the data is an error?

Even more surprising is that it goes back to the Morriset livery instead of CDC's canary yellow livery.

[Daniel]

Data error.

[Stonesourscotty]

Just wondering if there is a stipulation in the Region 6 contract for repaints like PBC or if they are not similar in that respect.
