Ex Forest Mk2

Postby fm » Thu Oct 18, 2007 8:04 pm

Earlier today I spotted an ex Mk2 Forest bus at Dulwich Hill. I think it is ex STA m/o2248 - Ex Forest m/o7214 now Airport Express TV 5202. I stand corrected.

m/o 7214
Kingsford Smith Transport, Mascot, NSW, ex m/o 7214 Forest Coachlines[12/98-], Terrey Hills N.S.W.


I guess it has been reregd TV 5202 which was to be expected.

Besides TV 5202, there are two other ex-Forest MkIIs at KST on Botany Rd. One of them is TV 5324 and TV 5325.

I think FM's TV 5202 report is incorrect as these plates have turned up on a Transit Scenic Tours Mercedes O303.

Well BenO, anything might have happen within the last 6 or so months since I have reported it. As far as I remember seen the report was true.

True, FM, but seeing as Norbert reported both TV 5324 and TV 5325 within a month of your post, it would seem unlikely that KST #53 was TV 5202 as it has been confirmed as TV 5324. However, another possible misreporting of regos has come up with KST, so it looks like a visit to them is in order to achieve accuracy.

Does anyone know the xSTA #. of TV5324. Could it be x2191 :?:
I've checked the fleet lists but could not locate it.
