Title: Pete To Start Driving! [CANCELLED DUE TO NO INTEREST]
Post by: Busnerd on May 12, 2008, 03:38:19 PM
Hi all,

It has come to my attention that pete will soon start driving on weekends for action. He has expressed his interest in taking his bus out to do some routes to get an idea of where they go.

For anyone interested if he can get a few of you together one day you can go along for the ride in his purple bus. As long as he gets $50 this will be viable. So for anyone who is interested post here and something may be organised.

not on action runs, along the action routes so he can learn them on his own time

Aaaaah, that makes sense now.
That MkII does go well. But I dunno, I might go.....See, Mat usually organises these things, but he can't anymore, so.........damn.

2296, from memory.

It's mechanically good, but doesn't have too much get up and go.

Now the runs Pete will be going on. Are they from Network '06 or Netword '08?

How stupid are you..he is going to start weekend driving...

With the current plan network 06 routes will be kept on weekends, so it would be network 06 runs he will be doing.
