I bet there be an eye kept on ex 203 to see if it will come available for sale and hopeful preservation Neil next to finding a ex MTT B58 with its original second door in it ex 203 might a good candidate at least it is all original with its second door.

B 65 QH is owned by O'Neill, it was previously Picton Coaches(23) - which is confirmed on the Picton disposal list which has a typo - and needs to be corrected from B 65 RH. It doesn't appear on the O'Neill list at all.

I like how TransHoun have incorperated the Metro livery into their own, very effective and looks good

Couple of good preservation candidates there!
Pretty easy to see the dash on the old girls, isn't it?

Have to find some old timers to KNOW what that LEFT pedal is for

Thx Hayden. Couldn't find who owns ex TRC #79, as it's still on Redline list

ex TRC #77 @ O'Neill's USED to be my old truck for MANY years @ Redline. Took delivery of it when it had 35k on the clock after a few Tassie tours. Buses/coaches DIDN'T come to Hobart until they were "worn" in, in those days. Nowdays, the lucky buggers get BRAND NEW vehicles (albiet BCIs)

Gee i remember driving those merc OH1316's, they sure haven't changed a bit

What year would the last one have been sold? I do believe I can remember travelling on them.

I'd have to check, but I would estimate at least 5yrs ago. I took a pic of #354 when I bought it back from Burnie, so I'll see if that has a date on it.

I'm OLD enough to know what it's for
