Is this "Stand A"? Do you mean this bus stop has been covered over with black plastic?

Is this "Stand A"? Do you mean this bus stop has been covered over with black plastic?
It's a surprise that 1701 didn't get the TNSW treatment and go across to region 3 with 1668 and the 6 Volgren B12BLEAs for the T80 artic trial to see if artics would work on the Liverpool-Parramatta T wayStu wrote: ↑Mon Dec 06, 2021 8:50 pm I forgot about this one.
1701 was transferred from Region 8 Mona Vale to Region 9 Port Botany for the purpose of the metrobus route 10 (renumbered M10) which was on trial. The bus had some seats removed as well as additional panels in the roof to hide the air-con units. When the Volvo B12BLEA Volgren bodies units were being commissioned into service, 1701 was moved to Tempe as more metrobus routes were being introduced and eventually spent almost 6 years at Ryde for metrobus routes M52 & M54.
Because there were only two of these type of Volvo B12BLEA Custom Coaches body with 1.5 doors in Region 7, they were transferred away to Region 6.
Perhaps they should have been returned to region 8 after getting wrapped only. Why would you put a 1.5 door articulated bus on MB permanently? Welcome to the city that defies logic as a culture.
It'll take a couple of weeks for the tragics to recover.
I got some photos of new routes today but I haven't downloaded them all off my camera yet. I do however have a random shot of a 350 from this morning
Even today on Tuesday Anytrip shows an artic operating on route 751S a Volvo B12BLEA/CR228L - none of the one listed above as the remaining ones are of that body type. Quite a few have been removed from the Transit Systems fleet list but there are still 34 CR228L's listed at https://fleetlists.busaustralia.com/tsa ... n%20CR228L of which 8 are at region 3, leaving 26 at region 6 with 2095 and 2150 still at Tempe which operates route 751S. Of course the fleet listing update may not be complete. No updates done as yet at State Transit.Fleet Lists wrote: ↑Mon Dec 06, 2021 4:28 pmOn Weekdays except Tuesday ever since Transit Systems has taken over region 6, there has been an artic working route 751S in the afternoon from Sylvania High School to Kogarah which is worked in the morning by Transdev as route S256. I guess that wont happen after this. I could not check this afternoon because of the strike.
I have only managed to get a usuable photo of it https://www.flickr.com/photos/193972346 ... 686200239/ a couple of weeks ago.
Is this a miracle sent from the heavens?? Something actually a success on the bus network down there?Jurassic_Joke wrote: ↑Tue Dec 07, 2021 1:39 pm
I caught a 390x just now, turned up and go’d as advertised. Only had to wait 3 minutes and a Custom Coaches artic showed up, which I must say, had a very decent passenger loading, Transport will probably be pleased with the decision to send out artics on this route.
Per Transit Systems fleetlist, Randwick transfers to Tempe: 1962, 1963, 2529 - 2536, 2552 - 2563 = 19 . Three listed with 'Changes as listed' (1962, 1963 and 2554) are actually additions.Fleet Lists wrote: ↑http://fleetlists.busaustralia.com/comm ... eratorreq=
In the Transit Systems fleet list changes made today there were 10 rigids received from Waverley as stated but only 16 from Randwick...
2552 was seen in service in Miranda this morning.Linto63 wrote: ↑Tue Dec 07, 2021 9:58 pmPer Transit Systems fleetlist, Randwick transfers to Tempe: 1962, 1963, 2529 - 2536, 2552 - 2563 = 19 .

From Central or areas on the tram line yes...boronia wrote:The tram services the SCG best, and maybe they will continue to run supplementary buses for major events.
Can I suggest that the 396 every 10 mins servicing Elizabeth street to SCG, 396/373 about every 5 mins from Oxford Street, and from Coogee every 10 mins, is not a poor service in any respect.moa999 wrote: ↑Thu Dec 09, 2021 11:10 pmFrom Central or areas on the tram line yes...boronia wrote:The tram services the SCG best, and maybe they will continue to run supplementary buses for major events.
But a bus would be far quicker from Circular Quay, the east of the CBD, up Oxford, and anywhere beyond Taylor Square with transfer, or even Coogee.
Got to consider all points on the compass.
As above the 396 uses Anzac Pde so gets stuck behind traffic turning into Lang Rd for up to 10min if passengers are stopping at the SCG, unless the driver is willing to risk the sack by letting passengers out on the side of the road.thunderbird wrote: Can I suggest that the 396 every 10 mins servicing Elizabeth street to SCG, 396/373 about every 5 mins from Oxford Street, and from Coogee every 10 mins, is not a poor service in any respect.
If the light rail was not there maybe but I find that a very acceptable alternative bus service.
These trips continue as or are formed from a 399. On the out people can stay onboard to Maroubra, Malabar and Little Bay. This is denoted on the desto when departing the City. Why this isn't a 399x is a bit silly and I'm sure a cause for confusion.
