NSW historical fleet list section
NSW historical fleet list section
Hi all, I thought I'd create this topic to keep people updated with work being done on the historical lists in the Busaustralia New South Wales fleet list section. In most circumstances these list do not cover every vehicle that a company has owned, but they do try to cover the vast majority of vehicles that the company has had over the last 20 years. The next project will be to extend the lists back even further.
Quite a few lists have been updated and added in the last few months, but here are the latest:
Metropolitan:
- Busabout / Neville's Bus Service: http://busaustralia.com/fleetlists/nsw.php?search=NEV
- Calabro Bros Bus Service: http://busaustralia.com/fleetlists/nsw.php?search=CBO
- Delwood Coaches: http://busaustralia.com/fleetlists/nsw.php?search=DEV
- Harris Park (operator information & previous vehicles updated): http://busaustralia.com/fleetlists/nsw.php?search=HPT
- Kurnell Passenger Transport: http://busaustralia.com/fleetlists/nsw.php?search=KPT
- Pleasure Tours (operator information & previous vehicles updated): http://busaustralia.com/fleetlists/nsw.php?search=PLE
- Toongabbie Transport Service at sale to Westbus: http://busaustralia.com/fleetlists/nsw.php?search=TTS
Central Coast:
- Yarramalong Bus Lines (Palmer): http://busaustralia.com/fleetlists/nsw.php?search=PAY

- Morisset Bus Service (general tidyup & addition of previously operated vehicles): http://busaustralia.com/fleetlists/nsw.php?search=MOR
- Sugar Valley Coachlines (general tidyup & addition of previously operated vehicles): http://busaustralia.com/fleetlists/nsw.php?search=SUG

- Dewhurst, Armidale: http://busaustralia.com/fleetlists/nsw.php?search=DEW
Orana:
- Roach's Charter Service, Gilgandra: http://busaustralia.com/fleetlists/nsw.php?search=RGG
Feedback, corrections and comments are always welcome. All information comes from a variety of sources including my own personal observations, enthusiast publications and industry literature.

Ben

Re: NSW historical fleet list section
I have done a bit of work on the St Ives Bus Services fleetlist this morning. http://busaustralia.com/fleetlists/nsw.php?search=STI
One query - were (2) & (3) in the fleet at the end? If so, which company took them over?
I have held off adding m/o 311 discussed in a recent topic until I can dig out some old Fleetlines and establish a fleet number.

Re: NSW historical fleet list section
Awesome job on these lists. Loving the history. One question tho. Is it my imagine or have a number of lists dissappeared after being added? ie Deanes North Ryde and Hornsby/Kuringai? Also any chance a clipper tours may be on the cards?
Re: NSW historical fleet list section
You are correct. I have fixed Hornsby Bus Group. The Deanes list is offline for a few days while I do a major update of previous vehicles operated. I'm currently decided how to add in the Clipper Tours - whether to have them as part of the Deanes list or separate?Andy O wrote:Awesome job on these lists. Loving the history. One question tho.

Re: NSW historical fleet list section
Thanks for that Ben O. If you have clipper vehicles right up until their final demise in early 2000's i would suggest maybe a seperate list, as werent they at one stage owned by Driver Group in Melbourne?

Re: NSW historical fleet list section
Blue Ribbon has been done, although it needs a little work with some of the vehicles owned between 1988 and 1993.
Rover Motors is up and coming.

Menai Bus Service has only one bus listed. They had many other buses which eventually became South Trans. I have listed the following buses listed under South Trans that were originally Menai or Woronora Buses.Daniel wrote:A further two lists have been created today:
