Volvo B10M mk1 m/o 7457 has been donated to the Sydney Bus Museum

At one stage, this and 7458 were the dedicated buses on the Red Arrow services Parramatta to Liverpool (route 800) and Blacktown to Liverpool (route 830).

[Ben O]

4354 MO Mercedes-Benz 815DL (ex Toronto) apparently reinstated at Queanbeyan as 1796 MO (reg 29/8/13). Confirmation would be appreciated.

[GO BUS]

Confirmed, for what it is it looks better.

mo7457/8 were the first lot of nightride buses on n10 to sutherland as I USED TO DRIVE 7458 with the late john chrisstos

[Fleet Lists]

I dont recall Westbus having operated the Nightride to Sutherland but obviously they did at the beginning - you learn something every day.

Bonnyrigg Volvo B10BLE'S headed north to Dural. m/o 8336, m/o 8340, m/o 8470, m/o 8471, m/o 8834, m/o 8835

I saw 8341 [Dural] at Town Hall. It was formerly in Glenorie livery, however, the lower half is now in "Canary Yellow" and the upper half retains the lighter yellow of Glenorie, so at first glance it appears to be in CDC Canary Yellow, but is actually two yellows. Maybe others have been similarly treated, particularly Dural' 8682 of the same vintage [2005].

Good to see some of the newer buses transfer from the former Westbus depots. With so many extra vehicles, the fleet age should be able to drop.

[GO BUS]

Dural Volvo B10M's headed south to Qcity this afternoon via Bonnyrigg, m/o 411, m/o 474, m/o 798, m/o 803, m/o 814, m/o 819

[Fleet Lists]

FL - will that still count towards your stats? I'm guessing not?

It should not but as it stands I suspect it will - I will have to give that some thought.

[Geoff]

Fomer Bonnyrigg 5477 has now been re-registered 023 - taking the plates off one of the Renaults. I believe it will be at Dural shortly. Nice to see one of the low numbered series rego plates being kept.

Hard to believe that's it's third rego in 18 months

I have received an email something along the following lines - not strictly fleet changes but close enough;_

As of Monday 25/11 Charterplus operations and Office Staff have transferred to Bonnyrigg and Baxter's will soon move back to Girraween.
The Charterplus Optus Staff shifts have moved to Foundry Rd with Charterplus Drivers.
Woolworth shifts are still with Charterplus out of Bonnyrigg.

Heard whispers this might be on.Replacement for w/o m/o 4199 MAN PMC.

Good fit for the PBC fleet and would take an orphan out of the CDC fleet.

Kind Regards Punchbowl Tiger Cub

B7RLE m/o 8430 and m/o 8439 now based at Seven Hills.

[MO9205]

Noticed last week, one of the MAN Cb30's sitting out the back of the Thornton workshop with a smashed windscreen and dents. Looks like it hit a pole or something.

Does anyone know what happened? Would have been painful for anyone that was driving!
