Seen running around Campbelltown in recent days on route service is what I believe to be a 2016 Volgren carrying private rego no. plates CH 55 NL. The bus is all over white with Busabout logos on the front & sides. Can anyone provide more information about it?

Thanks for that. Certainly something different.

Spotted several Forest Coachline buses travelling southbound through Coffs Harbour over the last couple of days.

Are Busabout trying out the chassis so they can put a order to Bustech or are they trying the Volgren so they can have a back up body suplier

Recently posted on the Ryans website
For passengers catching some of our passenger services - please look out for the new colour scheme coming into effect.

Forest Coach Lines has been busy
re-spraying buses, so keep an eye out for the green and white colours of our buses!

Thanks and safe travels!!
This does not reflect in the fleet lists as yet so it would be nice to know which buses have been repainted.

Mehreen Faruqi MLC has called on Premier Berejiklian to explain why Red Bus Service was awarded a $60 million contract without proper tendering, alledging it is due to the companies links to a Liberal lobbyist. http://www.mehreenfaruqi.org.au/premier ... -lobbyist/

No tendering was done for any of the outer regions. In all cases the existing operators continued.
