Westside
Just noticed a couple of things lately...The following now have WBC plates..
9 - 026MYZ now 09WBC
10 - 025MYZ now 10WBC
23 - 023MYZ now 23WBC
Presumably 24 - 024MYZ is now 24WBC but I have not spotted this one yet.
Also, 22 (22WBC) has been working westside routes lately, so I assume it has been transferred back from Park Ridge to Westside. This is the only one of the Volgrens that I have seen come back so far.

Re: Westside
Thanks, the Westside Volgren's should be all back at Westside now because PRT just got 5 new Scania K230UB's with NCBC-Gemilang bodywork.James00 wrote:Just noticed a couple of things lately...The following now have WBC plates..

Re: Westside
They appear to be used regularly on the P546 in lieu of the Volgrens, if anybody wants to get piccies without having to travel too far.Hornibrook wrote:Thanks, the Westside Volgren's should be all back at Westside now because PRT just got 5 new Scania K230UB's with NCBC-Gemilang bodywork.

Re: Westside
Have twice spotted what appears to be a new bus for westside. It is a volgren in full translink with the new rear design that the latest bt buses have. That is no rear window which rules out all their current volgrens (69 & 70 have no rear window but are of the older styled). It also has westside above the drivers window. Have not managed to see the rego however.

Re: Westside
Westside had 3 or so Volvo B7RLE's down in build at Volgren, so that'd be them!James00 wrote:Have twice spotted what appears to be a new bus for westside.

Re: Westside
Spotted 3 of the new volgrens this morning doing charters along with 41 83 19 and 20(?). The 3 new buses are in delivery plates and not the wbc regos yet. So you not sure of fleet number as yet.
Re: Westside
Can confirm one these new buses is fleet number 89 complete with shiny new wbc rego plates. Destos are setup slightly different in title case and bigger font.
Re: Westside
3 of the new Volvos/Volgrens
28WBC (replacing merc ansair)
89WBC
90WBC not sure if there are more. These are the ones I have spotted. 90 was from a distance but reasonably sure it was 90.

Re: Westside
Now the question remains is (29) still around (the last 1316) and what are (92) and (93)?
Re: Westside
I believe 29 still remains as I spotted one of those units in the past week.
Re: Westside
5 is no longer in AOA and is back in translink livery.
Re: Westside
92 is 92WBC, a NCBC Gemilang. Appears to be a full length bus as apposed to the shorter 05 & 06.
Edit: It's a Scania.
