Re: Kinetic Group fleet changes Australia/New Zealand
The green livery might be disappearing… very slowly.
NSW unit - 359 is now painted all white with K/NET/C logos.
359 appears to be the first with the rest of the route service units to follow soon.

Cairns 2621 is the latest to be repainted into the new Translink livery. No side decals however. It reappeared this morning after being off the road for over a month.

Re: Kinetic Group fleet changes Australia/New Zealand
Kinetic Bundaberg has been awarded the contract held by Stewart and Sons for 2 route services (621/622) and 13 school services serving 17 schools. Stewarts has kept the Childers school service.
In Kinetic's post "we're introducing 11 brand new school buses (plus one existing fleet)", so new buses to keep track of, and maybe one from Stewarts.

Re: Kinetic Group fleet changes Australia/New Zealand
Agreed, thanks SunSkySurf. Created an account just to say these updates are appreciated as a daily bus user on the SC. The recent batch of transfers have really made the commute a lot nicer.
