:shock: :shock: :shock:
500s are pretty much ready for retirement from urban services now. If they are international tourists, show them something like a 300, 2100 or 2500 and they will be really impressed with NZ :wink:

I thought they were nice when they first went into service though (after years of riding Hinos)
