If you don't already know, Roberts Coaches of Huonville now have a Facebook page up for people to follow and keep notified of their news.

It's definitely a good way of getting it out there IMHO
Metro should have something similar, as nobody I know uses Twitter.

Tassielink has a different looking web-site with news bulletins etc. The additional trial Port Arthur service has been reduced from 6 days per week to 3 days per week. Also services departing Queenstown for Hobart and Launceston now depart from the bus stop at the Queenstown Railway Station. They used to depart from Schulze's Top Shop in Orr Street which closed down last year.

Had a ride on Volvo Artic #14 today - never noticed before is a remnant of the original livery (mustard and the red band) on the interior framework of the rear (trailer) doorway.
Love this island!

Some others have it too (also on the outside of the doors where the rubber has "shrunk")
