It was G626 operating a Western side route. Does that mean the Scanias are going to Toowong? (hopefully not)
It was quite confusing...would like to know what happened

Not too sure about that, 1003 has been leased to South West for more than 4 years and still says 'T1003' although it is obviously not related to the Toowong depot in any way. Although I doubt they've been given permission to, the largest thing Hornibrook's done is put their own safety sticker on the bus. They're still in BT livery, kinda unrecognisable if you're in Indooroopilly, SW and Toowong Diesels both go to Indooroopilly.

1. 2852 was spotted in service today, carrying passengers on 444. This should mean that all b8's up to 2852 are now in service.
2. 2812 and 2848 are in Brisbane City Council Dreaming AoA, which reflects aboriginal culture. These AoA's are identical layout to new CG livery, with a gradual ascent to cover the windows.
3. 1030 is now naked, it was spotted on a 444 run today without CG livery. To be honest it looks really ugly; such a old bus with white destos??

1. I saw 2852 yesterday on an inbound 444 (although it was running with blank signs due to being 20 minutes late). I saw 2855 and 2856 on Kingsford Smith Drive early in the week heading back toward Volgren so they are still building more.
2. I have seen indigenous-themed AOAs as well - 2817 (Distinguish), 2848 (Connections) and 2849 (Dreaming).
3. The only ex-CG bus that I have not seen back in service in standard livery now is 1043.
How you can notice is the clean air kite actually looks different on ZF and Voith buses. The Voith kite goes higher and actually blocks the window view, while the ZF kite stays under the windows.

2. 1310 up to 1325 are all at GC now, it still shows they're at T

1. It shows that 2847 to 2851 are still at Workshops, and there isn't a 2852-2856
2. 1310 up to 1325 are all at GC now, it still shows they're at T
3. I believe 2812,2817,2848 and 2849 are all in Indigenous culture AoA, with:
2812-Dreaming
2817-Distinguish
2848-Connections
2849-Dreaming
