Kinetic Group fleet changes Australia/New Zealand

[SunSkySurf09]

As said above the units 647 and 746 are now part of the SC fleet and word is more to come, which in turn makes us the new dumping grounds for older buses from the Gold Coast which are 3 years or more left in the buses life span so no more new more buses for the Sunshine Coast as the word gos .

And after the Easter weekend the following buses to be withdrawn from the SC fleet are 5703,5704,5705,5708

Leaving only two blue buses in the fleeting 5706 and 5709

Cheers

331 had their Rego now no longer on NSW plates now in QLD new rego is XB84OT, Seen at Cbus event today.

[superbossgc]

Seen new Irizar Coaches with no reg plates at upper coomera turning in coomera depot. Yes maybe going to another depot sometime.

[SurfsideGC]

5703,04,05,06,08 have finished up, no longer on Sunny Coast.

Question - what ever happened to 5701 & 5702 when withdrawn few years back? Were they scrapped or sold on?

955, GBV hasn’t been seen in service for some time, any know of it’s whereabouts?

[mondegola]

955's rego still appears as ACTIVE according to QldGov so I really don't know what happened to it.

Can we get a DB update please? I've mentioned some buses in this thread that are still missing.

Cairns. 7010 - XQ06YI in service as a school bus in Kinetic red livery.

Previously TV 9960 Yutong ZK6129HCA at Sydney Turella; note made in TV9960 rego, no listing for XQ06YI.

Also XQ05YI, #7006; in multi-coloured livery for the Boomtown Bus. It was ex Sydney 7006 TV 7982 Yutong ZK6129HCA.

The historic fleet list for Kinetic Sydney shows that 7005-7010 (all Yutong ZK6129HCA) were transferred to Cairns in August 2021 and re-registered in February 2022.

7005 XQ07YI
7006 XQ05YI
7007 XQ08YI
7008 XQ03YI
7009 XQ04YI
7010 XQ06YI

Love's Bus service acquired the operation of Stagecoach, Cairns during mid 2002. It was sold to Transit Australia Pty Ltd t/a Kinetic during January 2020.

Seen were ex Love's bus service fleet in Kinetic red/white livery operating school services.
2108 - 305 SBP
2109 - 306 SBP
2110 - 307 SBP
2112 - 309 SBP
2117 - 791 MTT

A comparison with the archived fleet list of Love's indicates that these fleet numbers fall in rego order, and correspond to the numbers 1-26.
Thus it is likely that the Kinetic Cairns school/charter fleet in Kinetic red livery has these fleet numbers. 7010 is an addition ex Sydney.

I have just seen on Bus Tracker (https://qldbustracker.com/) that KInetic Gold Coast fleet can be tracked. There is a 971 in service.
I also checked the nearby registrations for the MAN 19.330 and there is a XB 55QY with the same data as 983 - XB 56QY; 984 - XB 57QY; 985 - XB 58QY. Could 971 be XB55QY?

On the Cairns Tracker, there are now a 2645 (MAN 19.230) and 2546/47 (MAN 19.330), plus a fleet number 1 (MAN 19.330) - all GBV buses, showing having been in service in the second half of June. No details can identify registrations.

I visited Queensland in May, mainly Cairns and Sunshine Coast. The Bus Australia fleet lists were out of date; and quite a few changes had been reported in this and other threads, but not updated on the lists.

I have created a supplementary google sheets set of lists for:

These former fleets are included:
• Campbells Townsville (Kinetic)
• Loves Cairns (Kinetic)
• Mackay Transit Systems (Kinetic)
• Sunbus Rockhampton (Kinetic)
• Duffys Bundaberg (Kinetic)
• Youngs Rockhampton and Rotherbys Coaches (CDC)
• Koala Coaches (Kinetic)
