NEW buses for Transdev Capalaba!!!
Hey All, I was incredibly surprised to see these two buses on Friday. To my knowledge, there have been no new route service vehicles delivered since 2012, six years ago. I'm pretty sure they are Mercedes O500LE's. I caught 001 in the morning and they are smooth and relatively quiet. Here are a coupl...

SEQ's Mercedes O405NH's
I have always like the O405NH's- and in Queensland, the old Mercedes low floors are starting to disappear from our fleets slowly but surely :( I though it would be a good time to share some of the photos i have from the past year of the 3x O405NH's at Transdev, plus a few other SEQ Notables. First u...

New Buses in SEQ
Hi all, Just thought i'd share a couple of the latest buses to don the TransLink green. First up, Caboolture Bus Lines has bought three Mercedes O500LE (Volgren Optimus). I was very happy to see USB charging inside and modern, white destination signs. They are a good looking bus! CBL O500LE Optimus....

Re: A look at S1631 Volvo/volgren Optimus B8RLEA
S1631 Volvo/Volgren Optimus B8LEA in service on route 66 at Queensland University terminus. It gives a smooth ride and appears to have as much acceleration as the B12s. My apologies for the display but after several attempts it would not come right in the photo. I've never been able to photo the ne...

Less common sights in SEQ- Part 2
Round 2 of less common sights in SEQ: First up, a bus that is no longer with us, but still one of my favourites- Ex BT W/S 1599, Mercedes Benz C628 Citaro. Only one ever served with BT, and it usually did a specific set of routes, making a 174/175 fairly uncommon. Merc Trial bus.jpg Next up, a selec...

Less common sights in SEQ
This photo thread is dedicated to less common Bus/Service combos seen in SEQ. Feel free to add other vehicles in the comments. First up, this one is a regular for morning inbound peak services, but very rare at any other time. Tag axle buses still look a little funny on the 100. tag 100.jpg One of m...

As the year is drawing to a close (Can't believe its December already!), thought it was time to share some of the new vehicles that hit SEQ's streets this year. First up, is Surfside 392, one of their latest Bustech XDi's. Sporting white destination signs, they look quite nice now! S'Side XDi 392.jp...

Re: Franklin's of Perth Classics
are there any relations between Currumbin Valley Bus & Coach (Gold Coast, QLD) or is it just coincidence that the liveries are VERY similar?

Hi All, Glad that there are a few new buses floating around with various TransLink operators - including the Toowoomba takeover. Here is a selection of them. First up, 32 CBS is one of two brand new B7RLE Bustech VST's for Logan City Bus Service - featuring the latest VST body style and white destin...

Drawings of QLD Buses 10- Concepts
Hi All, Haven't done one of these in quite a while, but glad to do another one. This one is a look at buses you haven't (and probably won't) see in Brisbane anytime soon. First up is a new Mercedes Benz 0500LE (Volgren Optimus) in Wide Bay Transit livery. There are a few similarities to the HBL opti...

Also surprised to see a few KBL railbuses around- seems a bit out of the way for them to be doing rai...

Re: Request: Park Ridge Optare Tempo
I know this is a bit off topic- but does anyone have a decent photo of PRT 005 (MAN 10.155 Custom Coaches 510)? I had it at Toowoomba yesterday, and liked how unusual it was.
