This weekend (15-16/10) the National Rail Museum at the Port are holding an event : Trains, Boats & Planes - Transport Festival Actually that title doesn't do full justice, as there will also be 5 former public transport buses on display. The Tramways Museum are sending down a trolley bus. There...

Cheers, Mitcham tram terminus was on Albert Street, Mitcham adjacent to Sutton Gardens http://www.w...

169 Worldmasters / Royal Tigers

Enjoyed the photos.

The Coober Pedy photograph. That bus isn't a Worldmaster. It's an AEC regal Mk IV

Regarding the former rail station at Reynella, the Wiki article you read isn't completely accurate. The bus interchange isn't on the site of the station, but beside it. old photo here. If you step from a bus at the interchange, and walk east , crossing the commuter car park, and through the pine tre...

The Callington Station building was removed and now resides at the National Rail Museum. Photos here Next station was at Monarto South, where the bra...

Lt. Commander Data wrote:When did the Pt Adel.-Dry Creek train line operate and what were the frequencies like?

The service was implemented for the benefit of workers, and so only ran during peak hours of weekdays

The last STA service between Dry Creek and Port Adelaide was on 29/5/88.

Interesting photos. Thanks for posting. I'd guess the photo was circa 1976. Actually, the bus fleet and depot at the time of the photo were owned by the State Transport Authority. Bowman's fleet and routes had been acquired by the State Government in 1974. The evidence is on the bus. Even if the STA...

I don't want to disclose too much at the moment- but what I can tell you that work is actually well under way.

The old Brit isn't a Lodekka. They have an AEC Renown, originally from Oxford

This is an outing that would generate interest over on Railpage. I suggest posting details about it on the SA board :

And still bearing a SA rego plate !

My thanks for posting photos of this classic brit.

My thinking is that this is the solitary AEC Renown in Australia - if somebody would like to clarify. Any knowledge on the mechanical condition of this lovely bus ?

As a keen enthusiast of British Buses, I have just come across this thread.

Can anybody give me a brief summary of how many Lodekkas there are in OZ at the moment ?

Any webpage suggestions would be appreciated.
