Nothing will ever be as quick/ fast as the olden trams, great news also the front door delays have been reprogrammed, and now they open and close at the same time as the driver pushes the buttons as all the other vehicles. This is much better than the previous set-up. Moreton

Next round of changes for Brisbane starts Tuesday 28th, so it is set until next round of changes, Trains and some buses have been rescheduled, some bus services have been aligned to meet train services, in a perfect scenario it may work, road congestion is going to increase at rail crossings as some...

No.

Saftey features introduced in NSW, so they thought we might like it up here, so the last batch all have the U BEAUT, low pressure door closing set-up, which when you do a stop on a steep slope the doors wont close, you cannot move bus, sounds great if you are on a flat piece of road, but on a hill.....

Just another update guys, the latest offering B7 Optimus, you now have an interlocker on front doors, when you pull up at a stop, hand brake on, count to 8 and then you can hit door open button and another 4 seconds and front doors will open. (You cannot move the bus, unless front and back doors are...

The tail lights, brake lights, indicators are not of much use in bright sun light, some other road users don't seem to be able to see them clearly...have not seen one in the night time as yet. Moreton

Guys please don't worry with the letters, the radios still have Bowen Hills on them, we still get calls for Bowen Hills on the radios,(sometimes, by mistake of course) as well, the Mail still comes as Bowen Hills Depot is still there, so please...Yes you may find a missing letter, or and A or an R h...

All metros will be gone by next year, some are going well, some are not, so most will be going to Mainheims as soon as they can get them there, as you might already know the spare parts lists for the mark 3/4 series is diminishing very quickly and some are not going to make it through machinery test...

Garden City had 1334...I think. Moreton

15 delivered to EFD on friday, they are being sorted and a few are already in service, keep an eye out for them from tomorrow,Mon 2/12/13. Moreton

Another 15 have arrived at EF, just take a while to get them all set up and out into service. The yard is starting to fill up. Moreton

Most of the money is wasted in getting concession passengers in and out of the University of Qld, no rail to Uni, so buses have to be used,all buses funneled into the Uni which loses the most money in Aust. If the Uni and Hospitals were built on the Rail corridors like almost all other cities, there...

They were let out today for a little while, hopefully some will be in service starting Monday 25/11 so keep an eye out...Moreton

They trailed a few different next stop lights a few years back, some were retro fitted to some MAN's, but the one that most drivers went for was this one,great to see them on the latest set-up in bright sun light, they still show up much better than the european set-up, staring into the centre of a ...

Some of the upgrades for this model...Next Stop light is able to be seen in bright sunshine across dash, back seats don't get used as a garbage dump, luggage bench on left now taken up with seat back, smoother roof line will allow low trees to flow across roof, instead of catching on A/C pods etc, d...

E2072 not in service yet, nobody has been shown how to operate all the buttons on the left side of dash as yet, may take a bit of time as everyone was getting used to them all on the right, will be just right for lefties, maybe they had a few lefties on the final layout design panel...? Moreton

I see Col Dunn has some of the ex-BT Mark 3's doing school runs Balmoral, Morningside areas as well, to hard to get shots if anyone on that side of town. Moreton

Sorry Daz, is all recorded on all the onboard computers and hard drives, for all to see and read about you have everyone there with you 24/7 inside and outside, data logger on engine and gearbox, telematics will tell all your bad driving mistakes and report back all to whoever wants to know or see i...

I do believe, Virginia use the numbers on desto, to relay how much gas is remaining in tank, as some PM runs need more fuel than others, so if you have a long run, you will need more gas in tank to get the job done...I could be wrong. Moreton

40 metros, some b10ls only a few, rest B7B's final count will take a few weeks to settle. Moreton

Just the set-up of each particular vehicle, is a very precise setting, you get one vehicle that has an easy set-up that works quite well, then you have to give-over to another vehicle, that has a much different set-up and you have to try and adapt to that set-up, so for some route operators these da...

Was talking with a mechanic the other day and to get the program right in some gearboxes they have to get the download from the engine, then the download from the gearbox put it on a stick and then email it back to the factory and the guy with all the numbers will send it back to workshop then they ...

We all hear what you are saying Dom, but most of the newer rigs are only push button FNR driver has very little input over gear selection,down steep hills, you are fighting the brake pedal, engine brake is also automatic,so trying to control a steady descent takes a great deal of control/management....

I don't know if the Traveling Public are ready for the biggest shake up of Public Transport in a long time, have bus services cut on 14th October and then Ferry Services cut 21st October, this is SE Qld biggest secret for a while. Hope everyone is ready for it...Moreton :wink: So many changes all on...

Newer vehicles do not allow for this driving style you are talking about, the jerking driver is most probably an ex-taxi driver and is just continuing their bad habits, newer models now come with converter and door interlocks and you cannot speed them up, they cannot be rushed as the older buses you...
