And Last but not least, Transdev m/o 9100 Leyland Tiger/Custom Coaches Mk88 was great to see out, especially with this bus's days being numbered, at Hornsby.

m/o 099 has a rather interesting desto setup, given that the Mobitec installed didn't cover the route numbers on the right...

Nice pics but-that Tiger would have been something a bit interesting to see from Transdev

[Bovways]

The Tiger was being piloted very well by a certain young rooster when I rode it on this shutdown. "Back in the day" at transit First it'd leave a good o405 behind in its wake, an absolute pearler of a Tigger!

And is that The Man of Steele driving 8669?

who owns the Pegasus 9901 AO Mercedes O405NH/Volgren CR221L and why has it got VIC plates on it?

[Fleet Lists]

It is owned by guess who? Pegasus who register all their vehicles in Victoria. see http://fleetlists.busaustralia.com/nsw.php?search=PEG .

The Tigger is a 4-speeder C, confirmed by a photo of the gear shiiiiiiift area - maybe it was once 5??


and yes, that is the Man of Steele's abdomen visible in the driver's compartment of 8669!

The Mobitec display looks almost like they recycled the ones previously installed in the old ex-STA Mk2 Mercedes O305 buses - I seem to recall the ones in those buses were roughly the same size too, so wouldn't be that surprised if that's what happened.

Looks like Tellfords have taken thier new livery straight from Lothian Buses in Edinburgh Scotland.

Most of the Mobitecs from the Mk2s were recycled into other buses within the fleet. Also "ed k" is visible behind the wheel of BR53ZC.

Love the Telfords Dunn livery! Nice to see another ex Darwinbus (Buslink) down south! Great photos too btw!

I quite like Telford's new livery. It looks quite nice on the CB80.

Thanks,
