MAN at Belco

Postby Lemon » Fri Sep 12, 2008 7:00 pm

This morning I saw a MAN at the belco depot with a bike-rack and fleet numbers. Looks like 375 will be on the road soon. If anyone can shed some light on when it will enter service or pictures of it please post them here. I'm not certain that it was 375 but it wasn't 374.

The only MAN at Belconnen depot that I've seen recently was 374. Don't know why it was there, but it's gone now and is back in regular service.

Yes I know, it was mentioned by belcodriver on ACT Bus that it was 374, I swear it wasn't but you and him are the 2 inside the depot so I will believe you.

In regards to 374 back in regular service, I know It is my drivers shift bus this week.

It's not your drivers shift bus, it hasnt been assigned to anyone, as drivers still need to be trained on it, so a lot of drivers will have it.

Also, there was two or three more MAN's at MAN in Sydney

The bus will float around different drivers, because as far as we know, it is still being evaluated by the cab commitee.

As for the Belconnen Depot sighting, Tuggeranong drivers frequently spend their meal break at Belconnen Depot.
