Red Bus Services The Entrance Fleet Changes

[David-]

MO6971 Iveco Metro Fleet Number is 22 as I have asked the driver of the vehicle today.

Fleet Number 84 MO2988 Scania K93 was not Sold To Queensland as it was seen in Gosford today and it is still in service in the red Bus Fleet. I have taken a Photo today to prove it is still in service.

Apologies for the photo as it was taken through the windscreen in the car.

also new is iveco # 26 MO7805. The window style of this and 22? is different to earlier units

[C130]

Yeah, they dont have the fake window line at the back, and I have seen one of these styles going around with rubber mounted windows-looked really good.

[paulbrown3]

Rego: 1580 MO
IVECO/VOLGREN

[paulbrown3]

have been informed that the new iveco/volgrens are having glitches and the demo that was previously here is back - currently 44thou on the clock. Also been told the iveco/volgren contract cancelled?

[C130]

That might also explain why the CC/iveco demo is back.

[Tim]

yer i rode the demo last week

[C130]

You DID the demo? WTF!? Do you mean you rode on the demo(which one?), or you saw the demo?

[paulbrown3]

I have found out the red bus service are getting new ticket machines. Unsure as to what kind

[bigmacholdthefries]

they would not be able to operates double deckers on the matcham/holgate route as there are some low clearance trees on carlton rd matcham

[Tim]

Nothing an angry chainsaw couldn't fix

[paulbrown3]

have been informed that there is a new long-distance coach with red bus at bateau bay

56 seats and toilet.


heard it's for charters as busways is no longer doing charters

[C130]

I doubt Busways is no loner doing charters, as I often see the Ex-Yarramalong and Kulnura coaches on charters.....

[C130]

I saw the new coach this morning. Its all over white, with Red Bus Service logos on the sides and rear(none on the front). It is an Iveco with what appears to be a Coach design body.
