There seems to be less spots on the side now, also they have fixed the Mercedes badge on the front.

Just seen a Crusader Citaro working a 10 with Metrocentre on the blinds. Being so early in the morning, I'm guessing this is a booked working on a Saturday?

(08 Aug 2015, 8:31 am)S813 FVK Things could have changed
Doubt it like judging by Sean's post but we certainly know the 95A and 96A are not operated by Orbit versas anymore. Probably just Renowns like on normal 95/96s (and 64/64As).

Hehe let's leave it there. Mainly because I don't actually know myself why I was bashing that early!
Must say, I love the NSAs, passenger display screen and the refurbs of the Quaylinks. Currently on 8313 to St Peter's Basin (1214 off Haymarket) and it's really like these buses have a new lease of life in them!

(23 Jul 2015, 4:27 pm)Dan I doubt we'll see a Volvo B10BLE withdrawn as a consequence (yet); after all, three of Riverside's Volvo B10BLEs (4901, 4902 and 4916) were recently sighted at Thorntons, so they'll need to keep some spare buses on to cover for these...

All fourteen of these vehicles will be let loose from Saltmeadows Road Depot tomorrow... That'll be an interesting sight for passers-by: floods of pink buses!

(08 Aug 2015, 3:14 pm)Malarkey Is it just me or does the right bumper panel not look like it is fitted properly, seems to be a big gap in the lining of the panels compared to the left side, the same gap in lining of panels is also noticeable on 654, cant really tell with other two parked behind 656 if it is the same on them as well.
