Re: Buses out of service for long periods
If it is, I wonder if they'll want (2)450 back. It is just a standard K320UB with the build style of most K280UBs in service.
Could've been numbered 2400 instead of something obscure, but it's not highly relevant, provided that it can be identified.

Re: Buses out of service for long periods
Unnecessary additional post in lieu of simple edit, but from what I can tell, 2415 is definitely a write off.
Severe damage to the body, and the chassis probably wouldn't be worth salvaging. Lonsdale will be able to commemorate their first arrival of a precision buses model to replace it, unless something from TT is transferred.
I wonder what the commuters will think of it.

2712 seen back in service today on a 681 from Flinders medical centre
Re: Buses out of service for long periods
Back in service this morning on the O-Bahn.TA3001 wrote:Scania K230UB 1274 hasn't shown up for about a fortnight now in real time.
It wasn't that healthy when I caught it last, but also less vanilla than most Scanias. Is it off the road for repairs?
It seems to have either something wrong with it's differential, or possibly even fuel intake issues.

Re: Buses out of service for long periods
282 is on the dead track behind Port workshops minus its engine. So I guess that will be a long term absentee from being in service.

Re: Buses out of service for long periods
If it was me doing it, it would be done in a day. Some workers draw out jobs to make more money, a bit like when a taxi driver takes the long way.

If 2203 and 2206 are at Edinburgh north what is the 2 2200's that have been sitting on the grass area at Lonsdale depot since Busways took over as every other one has been accounted for and been in service?
Re: Buses out of service for long periods
Scania Bustech 1067(Morphettville Depot) came into service several weeks ago, but appears to have been off the road most of the time since?

Re: Buses out of service for long periods
That's really bad to sit any motor vehicle on a grass area, I would recommend bark chips as one of the best things.Former driver37 wrote: ↑Thu Aug 13, 2020 3:16 pm If 2203 and 2206 are at Edinburgh north what is the 2 2200's that have been sitting on the grass area at Lonsdale depot since Busways took over as every other one has been accounted for and been in service?

Re: Buses out of service for long periods
I think it may be ideal to 'sticky' this thread.
Ex Darwin MAN NL202 1357 seems to be back on the road on a run to Marion.
And MAN NL202 '234' is showing R2234 as it's fleet number. Is this an indication of it's imminent withdrawal from regular service?
