I prefer the Euro lll Volvos over their Euro lV and V counterparts. They have a more guttsier sound to them .

[Vitalstatistix]

Will these see regular service now that they have LED destos installed?

Such a shame to see the awesome 1100s heading to wellington.

Valley Flyer 2496 (which I rarely see) was on route 83 today, saw it at 2pm at Queensgate.

[ka9102]

Newlands 168 FQZ366

Newlands 169 FQZ372

Both now in service they look identical to the 2500 series Airport flyers.

110 as well as 114 are the only high floor buses left at newlands.

2496 has a dead suspension system,the ride quality is aweful no better than those red EE sets.

Does anyone have photos of the Wellington Free Ambulance advert on the rear of some of the Valley Flyers?

[O305]

Anyone know where the 1993 Dennis Javelin DCF386 was before Mana Porirua?

[cordes_express]

The UK. It sat at ACS in Palmerston North for ages... Waiting to be sold.

Things were a bit crazy in Wellington this afternoon, at about 5.55pm Airport Flyer #2501 passed through Alicetown with the desto displaying "BUS FULL". 10 minutes later #2502 passed through Petone also with the "BUS FULL" desto. Turns out that train services (except Johnsonville) were suspended because of "a fault in the integrated signals and points control system".

Meanwhile there are no major problems coming from the new Manners Mall bus route.

Tell me about it, my service terminated at Porirua, did shuttles between there and pram, had foamers chase us.

I wonder if these people were J walking?

Makes me wonder how many people have been hit by a bus shooting across Britomart.... I'm pretty sure more people J walk through Britomart than they do at the crossings.
