Re: Brisbane Metro

I think the fleet now numbers as many as 8-10 - spotted 9008 heading through the cultural centre.

Re: Transport for Brisbane Observations 2023

Will be for two things, Toowong will be all diesel by the start of next year and S is taking on a decent amount of 130/140/150 work from W and G. So there will be some B12 transfers as well.

Re: Rail and private operator observations 2023

That or their 2025 thought bubble has been quietely abandoned... for instance, why are ethanol buses being trialled up north when they still produce emissions? Seems contradictory to their goal. Thought provoking announcement indeed. I wonder which fleets will be picking them up. No one single oper...

Re: Rail and private operator observations 2023

Likely getting in before the 2025 election promise of every new bus being a ZEB. 200 new diesel buses should buy operators a couple of years in fleet retirements to sort out how they will electrify (or implement hydrogen perhaps) their fleets/depots.

Re: Transport for Brisbane Observations 2023

I did hear a rumour that all non-stationlink B8 rigids (2894 - 2916) will transfer from sherwood to toowong, in return sherwood will get around 20 B12's. Not sure where the b12's will come from.

This, S commencing route training on 130/140/150 shortly…

Re: Transport for Brisbane- Routes by Depot

:!: does E or V have a plan to do share run of GCL. because in my opinion GCL should be share run by Sherwood and E or V depot (to remove dead running from City/Sherwood to Toombul/Chermside and Carindale. It would definitely be more efficient, and have cost saving benefits, although i doubt Tfb has...

Does this require a change to the DCU or just card readers? Any one got a pic of one?

Re: Transport for Brisbane Observations 2022

New buses are a ways off, I believe TfB is going through the motions of what propulsion will be used for new buses.
Given the commitment to zero emissions by 2025 - new deliveries (apart from Metro) are on hold until a decision has been made regarding this.

I think you’ll find even the current B8 Artics are running on a permit from the NHVR. Not sure about the MAN gas artics though.

You’ll find they have been fitted with the new brand of radio. It no longer requires the control head in the dash. If you look at the pillar by the drivers window the control head is now mounted there.

Re: Transport for Brisbane Observations 2022

Almost a week after the rain, not a single bus is running to Toombul. The bus interchange is fenced off like all of the shopping centre but buses could still use the 310 stops in Sandgate Road and hold in Grace Street. All roads look to open so don’t know what delay is. TransLink waiting on advice ...

Re: Bus Routes - What would you do if you were in charge?

If it were me I would focus on trying to get more people to ‘interchange’ and try to move away from the current model of one bus one trip. There needs to be more ‘cross town’ type services such as the city gliders, but make sure they don’t all go through the Cultural Centre. One of the Councillors h...

Re: Transport for Brisbane Observations 2021

Cazza, It will be very interesting to see what happens with the network ‘overhaul’. I like to hope that there will be, as you say, a lot more trunk and feeder type routes which help provide more services to the burbs, than every bus going to the city. Metro does bring an opportunity, but whether or ...

It’ll be interesting to see what happens with the B8 rigids that originally ran the blue glider. Will they be re-wrapped as Gold Gliders or will TfB preference retiring gassies?

Re: Transport for Brisbane Observations 2021

Would anyone know why Sherwood does the bulk “Carindale 4” shuttle runs from the Gabba/Lang Park to Carindale? Other than the 598/599 (Sherwood) Carindale services are either from Carina or Garden City Depots. Given Sherwood does the 599/8, they sometimes have to blank run from Carindale to the cit...
