Why build a second bus when you can reuse the first one? Pretty lazy.

If a new B8 was involved in a crash and it was completely smashed up then they would repair it even rebody it, but if an old MAN was involved in minor collison and it required say a minor refront then it would likely be withdrawn. I doubt it. If a vehicle is damaged beyond repair, then it will not ...

Considering the last gas bus was delivered at the end of 2009 (fleet number 1523) that is a solid 18 years of service by the time it is withdrawn.

The 2027 target makes sense from the perspective of withdrawing the gas buses after about 15 years of service.

BYD K9RA. "Head of TransLink Matt Longland said two low-floor diesel buses would initially service the route before two electric buses were expected to take over later this year." "“The electric buses will be Nexport BYD, K9RA models with a low-floor, accessible body and a seating capacity of 41 pas...

Nothing to do with the age of the vehicle but rather the extent of the damage.

Do you know that? Whilst it finishes the original order.

I see no reason why Kinetic will go back to back to purchasing Bustech XDi when MAN 19.320 are their preferred chassis.

928 in the real time feed today.

Hornibrook Transit Management and South West Transit use diesel buses, not gas. The diesel MAN 18.310 rigids at Toowong depot are hitting 12 years old and are used all day, 7 days per week. The gas MAN 18.310s rigids from Toowong depot are rarely used outside of peak periods. As of 2.45pm today ther...

Logan Coaches are supposed to have an electric bus delivered soon for use on route 587.

Logically yes Garden City would be next as the older gas buses are withdrawn from service to avoid doing major refurbishments. When the gas buses were ordered circa-2000 gas was considerable cleaner and cheaper than diesel. Gas buses are now a lot more expensive to run compared to diesel as stated h...

927 is in the real time feed today.

2900 and 2901 are out and about today.

925 is out and about today.

Tweed Heads is a regional area. Thew new buses with seatbelts have obviously been delivered to be capable of doing school and route services. Running separate fleets is duplication and running coaches does not satisfy low entry requirements.

2898 is out and about now.

I would not be surprised. 1670 was clearly on the roof.

Up to at least 1670 is now delivered (late September 2020).

Off The Rails was on the money. Looks like QOCS preserved vehicles 185, 498, 722 and 827. The fleet number for 185 is visible on the roof. The other vehicles are identifiable by the position of the roof hatches and the distinctive tapered rear end. This is purely from aerial photography and looking ...

Spot on. Looks like preserved heritage buses.

Transport for Brisbane do not do rail replacement services.

Does anyone know what the older buses stored at Sherwood depot are? They look like preserved high floor buses from aerial photography and have been there for about 3 years.

268 is out and about today.

As of late July it looks like at least up to 1663 are at Eagle Farm and about half were in a blue livery.

901 is in Surfside livery so obviously intended for Tweed services. Single door is fine for regional services.

Different manufacturer. The earlier units are manufactured by Mobitec and the later one are Thoreb.

Spotted Surfside 261 and 262 heading eastbound on Southport Nerang Road this afternoon displaying Tweed Heads 700 on the desto.

As per usual new deliveries are already added to the Kinetic Group Queensland updates.
