New DARWIN bus route 14, 14a 1st day
The other Bus Service 14a which travels from the Darwin Depot to Bayview Haven, Tipperary waters marina and back through Frances Bay marina and on to the Convention Centre at Stokes Hill wharf and then back to the Darwin Depot.
They each take about 25 min. to travel depending on ferry being on time.
They have yet to put these in the desto computer to set the desto's.
If you want a timetable go to

That will be good when DBS programme the desto display for this new service.That Route 14 temporary sign inside of the windscreen is rather large! Wouldn't it's size affect the drivers vision in any way at all?

Nice looking bus. Pitty I'm not up there to see the routes (about bloody time there was a bus route serving those areas). Makes me wonder why it took the Government so long...... oh thats right the Convention Centre (which the pollies claim that it's not built the wrong way *cough*) is now built.

Good pictures Dave, thanks for posting.
How come this bus doesn't have a chassis company logo on the front?

Didn't you read the posts immediately before yours? Dave, the only Darwin-based ATDB member, died last year...

Oh sorry. I didn't realise...
Re: New DARWIN bus route 14, 14a 1st day
I am still here, just not a very regular poster but.
Yes I did see the "Green Bus" as my kids called it. I have been keeping an eye out for it to get a few photo's, but I have not seen it since 130 entered service.
As for the chassis logo, none of the buses from 123 onwards have them.
