Transport For Brisbane observations 2026

[Busman66]

Looks like I got lucky-was on 1621 yesterday

[Merc1107]

Be interesting to see what vacates Willawong to make room for the incoming artics.

[Busman66]

Im assuming MAN Retirements. Do you know if there is gonna be an NG313 Farewell tour?

[Skyblue1]

Do S and G share the 169 route at all??

[Busman66]

Yes, common to see S tags and artics, S1463 is running right now on 169

[Busman66]

Does anyone know when 1202 will get withdrawn?? It is still going, hoping to ride it next week...

[BT Enthusiast]

I think 1202 got a new gas cylinder a few years back, so it should be around for a while longer

May be last one to get withdrawn, I'm going out next week to catch it.

[Busman66]

Does anyone know where T1050 is, it has just been brought to my attention that it has not been seen since august.

[Skyblue1]

Same for T1061 but from mid December.

[Skyblue1]

Also S1647 out of service since 02/12/25.

[Busman66]

6001 and 6004 were replaced by diesels on the 50

[Skyblue1]

Looks like 1262 and 1264 have been withdrawn even tho in service 3 days ago.
Now keeping an eye on 1340, 1374, 1384 and 1375.

[Skyblue1]

Also look out for 1011, 1028 and 1050 at Toowong.

[Merc1107]

1374, 1384 and 1375.

What's remarkable about these when there are so many other buses in the fleet before them? Buses often spend prolonged periods off the road, particularly from more severe accidents (1481 comes to mind) or if parts have longer lead times.

[daveeyh]

Also need to consider that fewer buses are required during school and university holidays so that allows more (and potentialyl longer) maintenance to occur through December and January.

Is that official?

[Merc1107]

They're next in line by numerical order (excepting 1202), but unless they remain parked for school resumption next week... I wouldn't be calling it so soon.

[Busman66]

6001 ran a 362 on the 9th??

[James00]

No just an incorrect sign on.

It’s appeared on the Brisbane transport buses page.

[Busman66]

No just an incorrect sign on.

A driver told me yesterday that it has broken down and is in the sheds at Eagle Farm.

[Skyblue1]

According to the QLD bus tracker T1028 hasn’t been seen since 8/12/25 but was seen on test past the xxxx brewery today so could be on its way back. Always look out for 1019-1029 as these were leased to Hornibrook Buslines a few years back.

[Busman66]

Sadly, my depots are E and V. No chance of a T sadly as I like MAN Diesels.

[daveeyh]

Yeah. Would love to see V have something other than B7s.
