lol omg that sux. i wonder why they didnt put a new motor in it must not be worth it now as it 19 years old

Hey Guys

just wondering if anybody has any info on why scania l94 tag bus #201 is currently at manheim with no gearbox engine and also dash missing？Thanks guys.

That would be a bit hard to answer as Bustech build the bus bodies while Scania build the chassis. So it would be possible to have bus with Scania chassis and Bustech body. im just talking about scania chassis and bustech xdi chassis with cummins motor on how they perform uphills etc like going up ...

Hi everyone. Just wondering if tasbusnut and yoda etc can tell me if you prefer Bustech product or Scania product which is better or worse in your opinion. Thanka in advance just curious on your thoughts

hey squiddy are you able to show the photo. thankyou squiddy

Hi all. Eagle Farm our now doing blue gliders as all gliders have been,transferred to the Farm. Also Garden city are now do Route 66 with their MAN artics.

What's the use of 3 B8s at Eagle Farm?

they are using those new B8s for QUT shuttle and replacing the older b7s that are used on the shuttle services. the B8s will be getting wrapped in QUT colours in next few weeks .

Thanks Yoda much appreciated . 245 must not get out much i would assume. do you know when metro will start to retire the oranas as your vov2s must be nearly all gone now？

Hi all just wondering if any of you metro tas drivers
be able to tell me what the average kms are on your n113 vov2 and oranas and your L94s？. I would think your oranas and vov2 will be clocking over 2million kms by now as they are getting on. Thanks in advance guys.
