Forgot to state rego yesterday. XQ21PT, body number is unknown sorry.

New unit for Mt Gravatt Bus Service. Featuring a white desto, first for their Optimus'!

Scania K310UB Volgren Optimus YS2K4X20001917924 "Sophie" 21 Translink livery, registered 23rd November '20.

What issues do they have with 10 11 etc if you can say? They're slow compared to their B12 counterparts, hard to hear out of the driver cab, extremely slow doors and some other issues I'm told. Then there's issues with doors, keeping up air, gearbox issues such as N to D with correct startup proced...

A driver suggested Clarks should buy the new Custom-Denning electric units, which look very stylish. Prefers them over the new look VSTs. A bloody good idea! If only the Queensland Government didn't fund them to have Bustech electric buses!! I honestly have no hope in Bustechs (or BusTech or someth...

KBL does.

Thanks for that maxy54!

58 and 63 has the Futurebus rear ends.

I have a feeling it could be 6367AO being a Scania L94UB from CDC Ballarat depot.
Will probably go up Tuesday if this rain eases.

I rest my case, your honour.

The new logo looks like s**t.

That is all.

Sunbus will no longer be operating runs 064 and 065. Will now be operated by CDC (was Buslink), by what looks to be Volgren CR228L(s). The Go Noosa contract was awarded to CDC today who will now operate the 064 and 065 free bus routes. https://cdcqueensland.com.au/go-noosa-contract-awarded-to-cdc-so...

Get your cameras charged and ready, Clarks will have Christmas buses running once again this year! Will be operating on 555, 572, P581 and 582. Commencing on the 7th at 11.15am at Springwood Busway station. Come along and get photos of the Christmas bus and possibly photos with Santa! www.bit.ly/Xm...

C1894 will possibly be withdrawn and written off after the Wynnum accident.

Whats the go with these new Optares? Was told they were transferred a month ago. Temporary? Noosa Go Loop buses? Modernized piecarts?
