Re: MAN ND323F Double Deck B-Line & TFNSW Forest

I have received mine in the mail this morning, I got 089/100.
It would be interesting to see who got what number but seen as TG decided to split them into group variations it would require multiple lists to be made up if a thread weee to be created.

Re: State Transit / Transit Systems Ansair Orana Retirement

I saw an STA VOLVO painted all white with Busways logos heading east along Great Western highway at Werrrington, plate number was 69??, I couldn’t really see it was I was driving, all white livery doesn’t suit the bus, it would have been better to leave it as it was like the Ryde buses still in the ...

Re: STA Observations 2021-2022

So now the STA is gone, my questions are: 1. Has the Radio room gone too or does it still operate? 2. STA Leichhardt - Fleet operations is this area been absorbed into TSA Leichhardt Depot? 3.

Re: 0500 In Awkward Position.

That's how all 400's sit waiting for the lights to change on island section of Maroubra Rd & Anzac Pde, I have seen Scania 14.5's with the air suspension not raised and scrape across that section and it's loud grinding noises.

The 14.5 has always being good on hills compared to others in the STA fleet, I was quite surprised on the scania bustech going up Albion St hill as it is also good on hills compared to the CNG Mercs.
