344-353 new XDi using Allison ZF

[Daniel]

Which one, Alison or ZF?

[Set Down Only]

Haha a Sunbus driver said that to me last year when i asked if any buses there have an Allison, (now we know it is 331).
His reply "You can tell the difference because the ZFs only have D, N, and R buttons and the ZF Allisons have 1, 2, 3, D, N, R"

[Bustech Boy]

332 also an AOA for HPC!

[08 XDi]

Which one, Alison or ZF?

ZF Allisons, silly. (Not to be confused with Allison ZFs!)

Been like that for a year or so, chief.

Yes I have but they aren't Translink, they are the Surfside green livery. If anything I'll just add them as Surfside to the list's.

[08 XDi]

I would suggest we have 5 base categories - yellow/white, green/white, TransLink, Yourbus and GCTS (plus AOAs and any other oddities). Makes it very clear then.

[Set Down Only]

Also can AOAs still be listed as base livery? It is annoying having to go through when trying to find out how many buses are in each livery when AOA replaces the colour

The system is setup so that its one field. When it's a TL bus and gets an AOA, the AOA replaces that "TransLink" field. When the AOA is removed, it goes back to TransLink.

[superbossgc]

I understand, please remove 'white' from 548.

[Set Down Only]

Yes but when you want to know how many buses are in translink livery, you have to go through every single AOA and work out what colour it is in

[Hornibrook]

Well it's not really in the "TransLink" livery with ads plasted all over the top.

It can just be noted in the advertising fleet summary can't it? Just record the base livery in an extra column, simple.

[Set Down Only]

Also the AOA is always listed under the gen on the fleet list.

The McDonalds AOAs are being removed today, starting with 465

[Hornibrook]

Like I said, there's only one column for livery designations and descriptions, and to add in another column would be a bit tedious and alter alot of scrips & databases (considering the QLD database has about 6000+ records).

[superbossgc]

Marcoola 5717 is at bustech, also 5528 piecart too.

405 is now using Cummins ISC engine.
