New buses for Carbridge
Sighted at the Mascot yard today was a new Volgren bodied bus for Carbridge.
Heard this evening that there are apparently 3 new buses and are all down at B T Ryan at the moment.
No details as yet but I'm sure either Olympian or myself can get these as they return.

Re: New buses for Carbridge
Hi Olympian,
Great combination, isn't it? You cannot not be miss out the fantastic ride quality of a B7R fitted with Voith transmission.
Hello The Inspector,
It seems that the VIN number for Carbridge buses #42 and #43 are the same.
Does anybody know where these buses will be operated and by whom? I'd love to get a ride in one of these buses...
Regards,
Mr. Voith

Re: New buses for Carbridge
Inspector, do you know or could you obtain the rego's for units (43) and (44) and the seating details for all three? Unless I have missed them somewhere... It would be greatly appreciated as I am currently updating the Carbridge list.

Pretty sure this is PBMBA0811 not 881 and has a total of 46, not counting the driver. Info is straight from the horses mouth, although I could be wrong!The Inspector wrote:#19
