Friday:
The Deane's 0305 Airliner AOA Bus, 737 - 800..VH-something..Todd knows  ;) , A C or S Set (Cant remember), a Volgren bodied B12BLE, a CC Bodied B12BLE, a B12BLEA, a mk 4 I think MAN, a Willoughby scania low floor, possibly a T set next, the Kenmobile, the riad mobile.

Saturday:
a T set, a V set, a hunter rail car, the same hunter rail car again, a V set, Riad's 422 in 3823, the riad mobile.

Sunday:
The deano mobile, an R set, an ex king bros. 0405N (Forest), then that same bus again, a S? set..or maybe another R, cant remember, an M set, another M set, then SLR #2, SLR #5, and a tri axled murrays coach.

Sorry for not having STA fleet numbers and train fleet numbers but i didn't note them down and can't really remember.

Where was the R set? R sets are not rostered to run from Flemington or Hornsby on a weekend, or from Mortdale at any time.

The only difference between R and S sets is an R set is 6cars, S set is 4cars but usually coupled to make 8cars.

Mat is right, it was an R Set. L is 2-3 carriages, R is 6 S is 8. And it certainly was6 carriage with an R Target (I think a black R Target). We went from Milsons Point to Chatswood and return we got exactly the same set.

328, which was slow as fuck, the driver was like 10 minutes late when i got on (considering i was the first one on the bus, is quite worrying!!!) and by the end of the trip, was 20 minutes late..which meant that i got to the mawson stop, with not even 5 minutes to spare to get to work. great.
And he also would slow down when he went through intersections...SLIGHTLY worrying!!

and i got 312. and i was sitting on one of the one and a half people seats down the front, and two if's decided to squish me and sit there as well. enough said. (one and a half people does not equal three people. duh)

hahaha, on friday, i swear to god, fraser was stalking the bubziemobile through garran, to woden on his 83. I looked out the back window and it was fraser. Then later, at the traffic lights, he pulled up behind us again. Then at the next traffic lights, he pulled up beside us. It was kinda funny at the time. :D

A yes, a certain person by the name of Christopher informed me you got 374! I missed out yesterday, and so did he. He was going to get the 11 and missed it, and it was 374. I waited around at Tuggeranong and it went and layed over near the community centre. Anywho, I got the Toddmobile today as I had to work before the buses were in operation.

374 was doing the route 3 from Belconnen, I didn't have the time with me then, but probably was the 11:03 AM or the 11:33 AM from Belconnen.

342, 305, 995 and 129. There is some kind of curse with the 313 at 7.35 going past Page shops, twice with different drivers they have gone staight instead of going down ogilby, both time in 342, wtf

You can't expect Tuggy drivers to know where to go in Belco  :)

I have no idea where most of the 60 series runs go.
Title: Re: What bus did you get today? (2007-2018)
Post by: Snorzac on September 03, 2008, 03:31:06 PM
I beg to differ. It is an intertown run pretty simple run as well it shouldn't be that hard to work out especially when the driver goes up and down the route all day.
Title: Re: What bus did you get today? (2007-2018)
Post by: Buzz Killington on September 03, 2008, 05:43:05 PM
Fairly easy to get confused, given that more than one route travel down many streets. You cant expect every driver to know every route off the top of their heads. Hell, i put together the Routes section on this website and I wouldnt be able to name a route for a suburb let alone the directions.

Interesting point. I'd expect them... over time obviously.. to at least have a fair idea of the whole network. But as a general rule from a passenger's perspective, you'd expect that your driver would know the route (even if they were going off those little direction sheets that you sometimes see). But there's always the exceptions - be it the driver covering for someone else on short notice and didn't have time to do the research etc etc
Title: Re: What bus did you get today? (2007-2018)
Post by: Buzz Killington on September 03, 2008, 06:42:38 PM
well.. if they're doing the same shift day in day out, chances are they're not going to remember other routes if they're filling in at short notice.. of course, they have the direction sheets. Could be a case of not knowing where the turn-off is (i.e they know they have to turn left somewhere but the sign is obscured or missing), or not really paying attention.)

Not quite, it's probably a shift that isn't owned by any driver (or the shift owner is on extended leave) and hence gets a different drvier every week. 'Floaters' are disproportionately newbies.

Okay I now have a theory as to why 374 was at Belco. A Tuggy driver takes the bus for an Intertown northbound and drops it off at belco for a belco driver to have a chance to drive it. Because the Cowboy hat dude is a Belco driver I think.
Title: Re: What bus did you get today? (2007-2018)
Post by: Buzz Killington on September 15, 2008, 09:01:49 PM
Probably just a Tuggy driver on a meal break. They are often scheduled to take their break there, if they're nearby. I saw 371 there on the weekend, most likely there for the same reason.
Title: Re: What bus did you get today? (2007-2018)
Post by: Ed on September 18, 2008, 04:08:57 PM
Actually the bloke with the dark blue cowboy hat is a Tuggy driver, although he did have a stint at Belco for a couple of months, he went back to Tuggy when Network 08 came in.

I got really annoyed as when we were doing a walk around T depot 377 was backed out of the workshops by a driver, so we thought that we could beat it down to the inter. So we sprinted and when we got there worked out that it had turned and headed to Woden. So we got on an Intertown to woden where it had already left, then to the city and Harrison followed by belco and my house, we got off the 74 and I ran to get my friends bike as the 313 was already a few minutes late while my friend waited at the stop, I got back into view of the stop and at that stop was 378. We took it to  Woden meeting with 'Irisbus Rider' and got off ready for Robs service and he turns up in 374. So after a morning of searching for them we got 2 in a row on services we were going to get anyway.

Well, what if they have nothing else in the Depot? It is also up to the driver as to what is most comfortable for them. BOB or 808, is actually not a bad vehicle. MAN's are rare and hard to get, .3's are the same at Tuggeranong because there are hardly any there.

what time? chances are that was the tour, because we parked at various points around the depot, and we had 333 Special on the desto.

12:30ish. It was around the side. I walked right around. Gee, I wish I could go on a tour. Do you know what was up with 378. I had a little door open. BTW, the engine on 982 wasn't going when I was there.

The MAN was 377. The 313 had 3 MANs in a row. 377-380-374. There was 375 on a 314 at Belco as well as 376 on a 705. 378 and 379 were the only ones not in the Belco area, 378 on a 318 or 9 and 379-who knows.

113 has a new style of seating. John managed to break one of them.

Forgot to post this but 113 has only a few new seats. They are a new style all together. It still retains the old seats that fold up there is two behind the last new seats on the right hand side. There is no leg room there, both Busnerd and Constantly Leighking had trouble getting in and out.

Lol, nyyyyah, it's that stupid brand of seating, it lacks support for my voluptuous derriere, and thats not my fault, lol :P

Its not 'the' 379 it's just 379.

If 379 was a model of bus then you could say the but it's just a number, so it's 379.

Today I got a gas scania, a mk4, another mk4 with a custom coaches buwoop stop bell noise, then a classic. then 3800

Well even if it was a model, it would have to be singular or only one in the fleet. If it was a model it would be I caught a 379 as that is a multiple form.

Anywho, I got 907 with Mr Slow Slow, and I wish I caught the one after which was 127. Then I went on 380 to Brand Depot only to be evacuated due to a fire alarm, and then hopped on two PR100.2's home.

i dont recall ever catching one, but i remember a few years ago i was headed to work at some ungodly hour (either 4.50 or 5.50am) and saw a packed Nightrider, with even a few people standing, heading along Athllon Dr near Wanniassa, towards Tuggers. It was a Scania too.

I worked on Nightriders on new year's eve with MAN 376; well patronised - had standing passengers on first run out at 0115. A Belco artic helped me out on 2nd run with about 45 pax and I had another 25 or so; about 15 pax on my 3rd run.

Bus 336 died heading south on Athllon Dr Mawson on Friday night. It just got up the hill out of Woden Valley & the driver ended up pulling her up just after that.

Also one of those buses with the new ACTION AOA was towed back to Tuggeranong Depot just after doing a 3 to Woden Interchange & as it travelled along Athllon Dr it bouned a fair bit. These were of course at different times of the day

311, with that driver that has the pony tale, stretch knows who I am talking about

There's a few drivers with ponytails - if it's the one with a moustache and flavour savour (the bit of hair under the bottom lip) you are so wrong, he's a great guy.

I was nice to him did everything right pressed the bell giving him plenty of warning but not too early so that he wouldn't forget and then he over-ran my stop my at least 20m without apology, stretch has known him to be at Kippax up to 15min early on inbound 43s.

With the Feb 09 Network & Shift changes putting very heavy demands on the gas bus fleet in peak periods, some Intertown services have unfortunately had to be operated with Tuggeranong Mark 1s over the past few days.

I did a 312 in a Mark 1 during Wednesday afternoon's peak and one of my mates had to do his 315 in an artic yesterday afternoon's peak - not real comfortable on these very hot days.

On Thursday afternoon I scored 384 - great a/c as you'd expect from a MAN - previous driver complained it was too cold! Back to a Scania (360) yesterday..a/c pretty ordinary but it went OK.

It could have just been turned off...its not just out, they're either on or off...

Perhaps this controller wasn't restricted, there are a few that you can change from 16 to 32 but the rest are set to 22/23 so who knows, it was probably just not working that well..like some do, which is usually a sensor problem.

To be fair St Francis kids can be pretty full on so maybe the driver just decided s/he'd had enough of you punks.

In about my 3rd week of bus driving some St Francis fuckhead let off a firecracker on my bus, I guess cos it was the day after the Queen's birthday holiday.

Yeah there are some real fuck heads at my school, including the year 12 dick that today was been a showoff drifting through the bus loop lost control hit a tree, burnt his arm to buggery and rode his car off, what a dickhead!!

It really depends what frannies bus you are driving, 410, 476, 565 and 466 have bad reputations but the 3 I use are very well behaved, those are 898, 639 and 429 in order of how often I use them.

898 was the service who knows what happened there was a supervisor there because of the year 12 dickhead who's car was blocking the bus bay, who came back to the interchange on 898 as his van wasn't there, and the ticket machine fucked up when he put is inspector report ticket in the validator and got stuck, that validator was fucked and the driver said that but he had to put that in there.

Trust me 125 was quite awkward. Towards the end of the 64, he asked if I was a bus freak & no offense but need to get a life as he only sits where was if they pay him. I wish it was the good driver that had that shift last week though, as he is kinda one of us.

My shift back then included the 313 out of Fraser West at 7.17am and my diary tells me on that day I ran it with 379. So I suppose I was your driver - the Legend!

Scania 342 ('Winston') was the shift bus, but I managed to get MANs instead as often as possible when I had that shift.

Ah yes, I remember you, Mr Renault....or at least your ticket purchases.

Not many commuters regularly purchase a full fare daily.

I enjoyed doing that 313 - nice bunch of punters, even if it did get pretty crowded at times. One of the regulars gave me a great Christmas present.

Hmmm, yes, you've brought back bad memories - one of those days when things go wrong - every driver has'em! 
On wet, humid days, the MANs fog up very quickly like a fishbowl, even with demisters working. It is one of their few faults.

No it was a European driver. When I got on I asked if he stopped at Regatta Point and he said yes. Once there he was going to keep driving saying he wasn't stopping. He said we were meant to change at the city (no mention on ACTION website) so I gave him an ear full.

I forgot to mention that 313s indicator is fucked. The rear one signals to go the way the driver wants to go and the front indicates the opposite direction.

My school run got a Scania today. This should hopefully ease capacity issues with the 2 extra seats and a bit more standing space. I was hoping it would be a Belco shift so that 898 could run it (the school bus number is 898) but 365 is the newest bus for a while on it.

Not as much as I expected, but it was a 'one to a seat' load. It was the 4:35pm ex-Fyshwick service FYI. Worst part, we were stopping on Wentworth Av picking up, despite the 780 map clearly showing no bus stops on the route after it leaves Fyshwick.

Although, the 77 surprised me, with 3 people from Woden, but another 3 getting on in the suburbs.

Apparently it had a few issues this morning.

Did 345 have a broken desto? I saw it operating a 314 with a blank desto. It was picking up pax so it wasn't running empty anywhere (just thought I'd clear that up because that would be the first assumption from people).

Post by: Bus 400 on June 11, 2009, 08:15:22 PM
The side desto is stuck with '6' on the side. Green tape had been placed on the side desto though.

When did you see it doing a 314? As we did a 314 in the afternoon, but the front desto was working.

330 is also one of the buses to be ruined with auto re-tardant.
So, smitho, does 330 have an auto re-tarder as claimed or does TP3000 not realise that it is the driver who is operating the re-tarder using the brake pedal?

I took 808 for a day out to Caloola (out beyond Namadgi in the high mountain goat country) a while back  - it got really grubby on that trip but got a good wash afterwards.

PS: The bloke who had 808 for 20 years left ACTION some years ago (to work for Deanes I'm told). Another bloke had it for 5 years after him, then I got it.

I must correct you on your (incorrect) use of route numbers. The Route 28 is not the 028 route, nor is the Route 2 the 002 - single digit route numbers should not be presented as three digit route numbers by introducing confusing zeros. Drivers are discouraged from using the redundant zeros in their destos by the ACTION trainers (but I know some of the 'old school' still do).

It was a bit longer, but before 09:00 was just waiting around at the Interchange. I left home at 07:15 & waited with the driver till then as no school was on.

Did you notice any problems on 339? It is known for a problem & nobody knows how to fix it. What you'll notice is it will give a surge of power & then cut the power right back. The engine warning light will also come on, but it fixes up after a while & then repeats.

Can't say I noticed anything, as I was a passenger, and not driving it. I was on it for an hour, it seemed fine to me.

339 must of been behaving, but as a passenger I noticed it. A driver that knows 339 well told us that. But I know on Sunday it stuffed up through a 942, 930 & 938

Coffee covered the floor inside the drivers cabin & was starting to cover the entire front part of the bus & down the stairs. One large cup of coffee from Gloria Jeans Myer Tuggers was knocked from the wayfarer & did knock/connect to the two way & the radio room heard a few special words.

He just dashed back to the depot grabbed another bus & had bad luck for the next little while.

What's wrong with 328? As soon as it starts going the turbo winds up and it really does go well. One of the best Scanias if you ask me.

Look, it whistles very well, (which I like) and its acceleration is quite good, but it just falls in a heap as soon as you ease off the accelerator. Its pretty rattly too and from memory, it has an annoying, noisy indicator beep.

Yes and according to the sticker under the stop sign it is called Matt M. They have done something to it because it was flying today, accelerated well and kept that speed, a lot better than 320.

Think it must have been in the workshops yesterday, the fact that they gave me 328 again. I'll be interested to see if I get 337 back on Monday.

They aren't all that bad, some of them have to brake to avoid being picked up for speeding by the Cotter Road Parkway Camera. But then again 1 driver has done that in an PR3*. But some are like a Dart.

I'm well aware of that, but for a bus to be as bad as 320 is disgraceful, it was dangerously slow, it not only caused the driver to run late, but it also made getting out of intersections safely near impossible. The driver did a good job though.

Top speed doesn't usually determine if a bus is 'good' or not, acceleration takes much greater importance.

In regards to the drivers seats, they are all National brand and a fair few .2s and .3s now have them. There have been a lot of complaints from the drivers about them and they are now being modified to suit the needs of the drivers better.

Did the same runs on Friday with 337, conveying a few mountain bikes from Denmark on the front rack as well.

Tell me about it...


The usual driver has being away for the past two weeks and they seem to be having extreme difficulty covering the shift. This morning one of the trainers was covering the run and he was obviously doing it at extremely short notice as if he had enough notice I am sure that he would have been the standard 5 late rather than 15.


Hopefully it will be sorted for tomorrow.

Title: Re: What bus did you get today? (2007-2018)
Post by: Snorzac on September 13, 2009, 07:23:12 PM
It was in the bag rack behind me and someone took it between the times I checked it. There was a guy from school who is a dick to me who I can't help thinking had something to do with it. The more I think about it the more I think it was thrown off the bus at the city interchange where that guy got on as the driver forgot that the back doors were open. He could have easily picked it up on his way past. I didn't check to see if it was still there at the city as I was caught up looking at a good sort across the road.

That is always my biggest worry, when I'm standing across the walkway in a packed bus & have left my bag in the luggage rack. If I am lucky, the driver keeps my bag in his little area on the hooks.

I have to ask-If you were sitting in a seat, why was your bag in the luggage rack? Especially when there is a so & so in the bus? Also do you know if the crime was caught on camera?
Title: Re: What bus did you get today? (2007-2018)
Post by: Snorzac on September 13, 2009, 07:57:03 PM
It was a rather bulky bag that didn't fit on the seat with me. I was sitting on the gunzel seat. Considering that there is like 5 cameras on the bus it is pretty hard for the cameras to miss it.

Another idea, I do when im leaving my bag in the rack, just wedge it so it will be a struggle for someone to steel, like tie up a strap around something, I always do that, so if someone wants to take it they will be there for a good minute before they get it.

Luckily the bag had a hole in it and I put everything valuable in my pockets. The only thing of value I had forgotten was my house keys.

943 - Bundah-Civic, nice and quiet, no bogans arguing with Eddies boys to screw up the peace
957 - Civic-Coles Gunners - nice seat before standing for a 5 hour deli close.
136 - Coles Gunners-home - it re-kindled my appreciation of Darts. While it was loud, it sounded more like some of the cars from the Gran Turismo games rather than the engine cutting out (it's like that on Flemington Road), plus the driver was (sorta) drifting on the quiet streets, it felt quicker than the Renaults and Scanias that I normally catch. But my favourite part of the Darts are the interior, the sides sorta resemble a Boeing 777's.
Enough of my rambling

Old girl has a dodgey speedo! I have driven some that show speeds of 95kmh, however unless the engine limiter is malfunctioning it is not possible to obtain those speeds (unless downhill of course). That said, the top speeds of the voith powered buses will vary slightly at the same number of engine revs due to the gearbox not having a lock-up function.

While green buses (Irises/Scanias/MANs) are rare for taking Gungahlin routes (mainly Mk2s during the day, Darts at night), even rarer is when 2 greenies are taking Gungahlin routes.

He certainly did. When i was chatting to him the other day he said that he had to wait for a bus in the morning, so I take it he doesn't get to choose - he's had a different bus each day.

Ditto for the guy who had 970, although he always has a Mk2

A bus driver board member may be able to confirm my answer. A jump seat is the term given to the seat right near the front doors. The MkII's & Darts are the only buses not to have a jump seat.

Jump seat is a common term in Aviation for a spare seat in the Cockpit, and the flight attendants seats can also be referred to as a Jump Seat.

Yes, and the Darts and CB60s have seats similar in the wheelchair bay(s)

Jump seat is not a common term for the Gunzel seat. It is a gunzel or foamer seat. Jump seat is a new one, but not often heard nor used to describe this seat. True, however, that the wheelchair bay seats can technically be described as such. As can seats like those found on Japanese buses, an extra fold down seat attatched to each row of seats.

From Dictionary.com

Quotejump seat

Use Jump Seat in a Sentence

–noun
a movable or folding seat, as in a carriage, taxicab, or limousine, used as an extra seat.
One thing they did not mention is aviation, but that is obvious.

382 - featuring a passenger who decided to ignore the two other intertowns sitting behind us, and shove his hand in an almost fully closed door in order to get on, then fucked around looking for a ticket seemingly ignorant of the alert buzzer sounding off and the driver doing the same thing!

I saw an MAN out in town last night, heading north up Yarra Glen at around 1740. It definitely wasn't 390 either because there were no MAN decals. Unfortunately I was too far away to get a look at the fleet number but I presume it was 391.

There was an announcement from Base late in the afternoon - around 1730 as I recall. There were another two breakdowns reported by Base on the northside around the same time today, one of which was again on Barry Drive.

drivers seat is a national.
A lot of drivers would certainly not agree with you. The national seat is certainly isn't very good at all. As far as seats go the top of the line ISRI seat fitted to the MANs is the best. Other than that the most comfortable seat I have sat in is the one fitted to 991, it is the only bus to my knowledge with that seat.

The national seats are slowly been removed and replaced with KAB seats. I found the seat quite comfortable but drivers have said that it doesn't raise high enough.

what do you mean I reckon shes probably the most responsible out of most the drivers at ACTION. However she did have some trouble when she was once driving an irisbus, she kept telling me that the bus was too low. However the irisbuses are annoiying.

Presumably you mean 719 and 720, given that as King Long mentioned, 819 and 820 aren't part of the fleet anymore, and weren't artics.

I picked 920 while doing some overtime this am - first Tuggy racked standard I've driven.

920 is nicely presented but a bit of a slug ...922 is the only other racked standard bus I've seen around Tuggeranong Depot so far.

464 might have been 'trainer training'. Considering trainers are not yet trained on it I highly doubt it would be in service, but I could be wrong...

lol, when 379 rolled up (normally its a Mk1 renault), I thought "Zac'll be happy!". I found it a bit jerky to be honest, but it could've just been the driver.

787 goes hard though.

I would pick 869 over most .3 or Irises any day, however it has a national seat in. As far as performance goes it is up there with the best in the fleet, you still can't go past 787 for the best though. It really depends on how you rate them, but 869 if one of the better ones ACTION has.

He just started complaining to the driver, he wasn't rude today, but one day when I was standing on the bus with an old lady I had a go at him because he was sitting in the priority seating and he called my school because I was been 'rude' to him. when I explained the full situation to the school they said I had done the right thing, called his workplace (another school) and complained.

Yep, I lucked out on that one, left earlier than usual and glad I did! In fact, yesterday was pretty good. Got to ride all three of my favourite ACTION buses (not specifically those three, but the class they belong to) so I was happy.

I haven't seen any sign of the 313 all week, but a 300 seems to have been put on to run in its path - usually runs either directly in front of my No 7 or just behind it.

The 300 leaves at the same time as you. The 313 has been late all week. The driver seems to think that a 60 zone means he has to drive 40 even though he is running very late!

380 (not one I get very often - goes OK) doing 938N, 935S, 937 Loop, 980S, 980N, 900S.

Both 980s were surprisingly busy, mainly due to Civic shoppers, Kingston Depot Market, Fyshwick Market and Direct Factory Outlet especially....Fyshwick isn't the dead part of Canberra anymore on weekends....didn't get many punters for that Uni of Canberra show but the 900s were deluged.

Is it true 2112 has a toilet?

990 (905) gearbox is on the way out like it's sister 991
705 (Raiders) If you put rockets on this bus you wouldn't make it go any faster.....

Is does have something the height of the bus in the back right corner. But since the bus is a low floor bus from front to back I thought it was the engine.

But that Bankstown Coach needed a toilet as approaching a tunnel on Pennant Hills Road a passenger asked the driver about going to the toilet. The bus ended up stopping just after the tunnel.

Good thing theyre retrofitting them zacca...

Re: 2112 it is nicknamed a toilet - in both the K310UA and also in Volvo B9L's where the engine sits vertically, well sort of, hard to explain, the big bit on the side is like air vents etc. with the rest of the engine sitting under the tall floor at the back seat of the bus (2112) its quite interesting to open the flap and look at the engine on it and how it's all set up, but yes not actually a toilet..

This arvo I think it was 378 or 398...

985? maybe 984? it leaked

889 - Greg the driver is awesome. I got off at a later stop because of the rain... but he stopped at my normal stop (because I wasn't there ready to jump off) turned around and goes "not getting off today?"... It's my last day with him as my driver as I'm going to wodoze as of tomorrow. If I could give a bus driver an awesome award - It'd be him :) He's nice, thoughtful and remembers people and their stops.

I typed all the bus numbers in my phone, the only two I remembered was 3818 (as it was shit) and 2066 (as it is brand new). The aircraft I can remember and the Tour Bus and T-Set aren't hard to remember.

I still can't believe I got VH-VXP. It was before yesterday the only 737-800 I had been on and when the aircraft was changed I thought that fact would change.... but no, it had to be VXP.

I enjoyed my ride on ZPJ as I got an exit row, more to come in my trip report tomorrow

The question was how did a T depot Dart get out to Kippax to do a route 16 early in the morning. 133 is a B depot bus.

I must be old, there are school kiddies at the interchange just wearing t shirts. Im wearing a polar fleece jumpy and a big jacket and can still feel the cold. The bom site tells me it feels like -1.3 with 33km/h winds.

On the way home I was too cold to bother looking at the number ... i totally forgot.

Yep, and will do so for the next 2 weeks or so. With footpath work being undertaken at the legislative assembly bus stop the routes have been diverted. Not sure of the logic of it though as it takes a lot longer going via London Cct West.

Having the fun of putting snow chains on a coach. For those that aren't aware, it takes 30 or so minutes to fit the chains to a 3 axle coach (not all axles have chains fitted).

Some of the punters don't seem to mind going via The Lakeside (Rydges) - on my 300series runs, I've often had request for The Lakeside and University Ave stops, and on Monday, someone even wanted to get out at the old T&G building stop...I'm not sure if that is in service anymore though as I think the yellow blade has been removed.

From memory, no. But it could have had the single seats.
983 was fully fitted out with MyWay gear and a sub on the side..

Today's buses:
386 (5) it smelt kinda funky, but that could have been the guy sitting across from me..
876 (4) Ticket machine printed 23 on the ticket. Being 10 minutes late must have been to make up for the one which came early yesterday.

lol, nothing, I'm not sure what made it bleed, it happens from time to time, not the first time on a bus, it always happens at the worst of times. Worst was about an hour out from landing on a flight from Brisbane when the seatbelt sign was turned on due to turbulence and remained on until the end of the flight leaving a seat covered in blood.

Getting the bus last couple of days is making me stabby... too many people on the bus to the point where people are being turned down. I guess I like my space, not some kid kicking me, another standing on me, and some old guy who smells like he hasn't had a shower, mixed with stale pub smell sitting on me.

100 (494) didn't get very far because it shat itself on darimple street in Red Hill. Funny before it happened I was thinking how much of a good bus it was and really enjoying the ride :)

I'm pretty certain that it was 362 which I found disabled on Platform 5 in Civic yesterday evening as I was commencing a short 300 (Civic-Belconnen) @ 1710. Apparently its rear doors refused to close and a tow truck was on its way.

Turns out its hard to balance on just one foot. Thanks to you fat ugly chicks hiding behind your sunglasses who sat on your fat arses while I stood on one foot from Woden to Belco. Another thanks goes to that weird woman who was standing up knitting beside me who sat down on the first available seat before the other person had hardly got off it.

Maybe I need to wear shorts or a skirt. Maybe that huge boot on my foot isn't as obvious as I thought.

Then I got a .2 from belco to home... and a seat

Best approach is to head for the designated disabled seats (not the wheelchair bay) and loudly announce your disability and need for a seat. If that doesn't work, point to the sticker on the window.

Both buses, after I got on, felt like they were in some kind of safe mode/not changing gear.

Weird co-incidence that's for sure.

In other weird stuff, the lady woh sits next to me broke her foot. She also told me I have an "attitude" the day before it happened, so I'm not sure if I feel bad for her.

777 used to be a real slug - at least when I last drove it about 18 months ago. Like some of the other Mark 1s, sounds as if it's had a thorough reconditioning.

Had 978 this arvo, a fairly common choice for me on school days. But only noticed today a small poster inside saying its one of the "bio-diesels".

Didn't notice any fish & chips smells whatsoever - although I did detect a whiff of hamburger, maybe with garlic and olive flavouring.

425 (639) it arrived before the 898 which is strange.

Had 978 this arvo, a fairly common choice for me on school days. But only noticed today a small poster inside saying its one of the "bio-diesels".

Didn't notice any fish & chips smells whatsoever - although I did detect a whiff of hamburger, maybe with garlic and olive flavouring.

977, 978 and 979 trialled Diesohol back in the day. Photos are in our gallery.

Just be aware guys (CNG and 400:D) that to avoid posting one after the other (Seriously if it is on the same day, wait till the end of the day) you can hit the modify button to update your post. If someone else has posted, then don't update, but if it is you posting after you on the same day, just modify.

Last for the Year:
6200 MO-Symons Narooma MAN 18.310/King Long (765 Dalmeny-Narooma) You could easily mistake this as a brand new bus, not a speck of graffiti and rattles less than one of our newer 18.320s, it is in fact now three years old.

There is a QANTAS plane called Collaroy? If it was a 737-476 (which would usually operate qf737) are you sure you haven't gotten it confused with 'Currawong'?

Well today I attempted to get some BT buses that were different to the ones in Canberra, but with my scheduled this became difficult:
IMU 38 (Zilmere to Roma st)
T1251-MAN 18.310 CNG/ZF (444-Roma st to Cultural Centre) not bad, they go well with a ZF
T1385-MAN 18.310 CNG/Voith (230-Cultural Centre to Adelaide st)
T1268-MAN 18.310 CNG/Voith (471-Adelaide st to Mt Coot-tha Summit)
T1269-MAN 18.310 CNG/Voith (471-Mt Coot-tha Summit to Adelaide st) Not much variety at all, even managed consecutive buses
L1009-MAN 18.310 Diesel/ZF (???-Adelaide st to Cultural Centre) I wish ACTION got ZF boxes for all their MANs!
G1617-MAN NG313 CNG (111-Cultural Centre to somewhere on the busway near Garden City) ACTION should order these!
LCBS 131-Volvo B12BLE/Bustech VST (555-that place to Cultural Centre)
SMU ??? (South Brisbane to Central)
SMU 225 (Central to Zilmere)

I may of got it confused, I'm certain I've seen a QANTAS plane named Collaroy. The plane in question had 25 rows of seats & had the older style of entertainment system with the dials on the sides of the arm rests & the TV screen in the middle of aisle. The nose of the plane looked newer then Cockatiel.

No Qantas Aircraft has the name Collaroy. You would have either had Cockatiel or Currawong. Being 25 rows, it can only be a 737-400. Your second aircraft, Arnhem Land, is -VYC a 737-800.

Both had ticket machines. Grr @ my bus drivers changing buses daily! (seriously, they've all been different every day, but all without ticket machines until today!)

Not if you don't want to catch a bus for the next few weeks. Have a read of this (http://www.transport.act.gov.au/myway/students.html). Basically you will need attend a MyWay centre to get a student card. It says allow up to 10 working days - although I don't know if this also applies to applications made in person. Only one way to find out.

From what I was told by the people handing out MyWay pamphlets at Westfield on Thursday they can change it over straight away at Canberra Connect and MyWay centres, it is all on the one card (as I assume you know) and all they have to do is change the way it takes off fares. Also even if I would have to pay adult fares I would, for a few days anyway...

134 (737) it appears this bus didn't register I I tagged on (although it beeped) and when I tagged off it must have tagged me on because I got charged an extra fare on the next bus for not tagging off...
950 (10) No operational ticketing system...
474 (314) No ticketing even fitted
349 (312) got the extra fare on this

Bus 332 (968)
Bus 401 (966)
Bus 400 (900) People were lining up to grab a ride on this bus & it was actually packed from Erindale to City. I soooo don't think the 2 other 900's 5 minutes behind that were near empty had nothing to do with it.
Bus 337 (904)
Bus 349 (980)
Bus 348 (900) Since my Faresaver 10 ran out today so this is the last time I'll ever have something to do with the Wayfarer system.

That is a concerning fact, I think today it was at it's worst:
-slow
-no working aircon
-rattled a lot
-broken side desto
-smelt of burning
-and also the first bus with in built back breaker (the gearbox)

349 (981) just because I could, went alright up Black Mountain, better than most gas buses would...
317 (900) received a cracked windscreen during a sudden stop from a passenger flying into the windscreen at Westfield Station after two pedestrians walked out in front of the bus later claiming they didn't see it, luckily the person who hit the windscreen went head first and happened to be a cyclist who was about to get off the bus and was hence wearing his helmet, no one was injured.

427 (938) This is one of the shifts that need changing as the early morning 934S's & 938N's that are on Belconnen shifts run late. Firstly the 934's arrive 5-10 minutes late, this in return makes the 938 late &/or the driver misses out on a 5 minute break. I know one member has had one of these shifts so they may know what I mean.

790 (900) A rare occurrence where the driver is the same age/younger then the bus.

YESTERDAY
Adelaide Metro services
Tram 201-Glenelg Line (South Terrace to Victoria Square) *Some people are weird, one guy started walking when the tram hadn't turned up at the scheduled time of 07:56:00, the tram turned up 30 seconds later. Sadly he wasn't too far away & walked back to the stop.
Bus 780-W90 (Victoria Square to Adelaide Botanical Gardens)
Bus 1130-M44 (Adelaide Botanical Gardens to Tea Tree Plaza)
Bus 1104-M44 (Tea Tree Plaza to Marion Centre)
Bus 1226-600B (Marion Centre to Blackwood Station)
Train 3101-Belair Line (Blackwood to Adelaide)
Tram 103-Glenelg Line (Rundle Mall to Entertainment Centre) *This is just as the wet & windy hit, you could feel the trams sliding when going up to stops. Then over the tram 2 way, I heard a white utility decided to come from the left lane & do a u turn right in front of another tram. The tram driver hit the hazard brakes, but everyone survived & he continued his trip.
Tram 203-Glenelg Line (Entertainment Centre to Victoria Square)
Bus 1132-J1A (City to Adelaide Airport)

Virgin Australia service.
Aussie Rob-DJ580 (Adelaide to Canberra) *Featuring Nick Xenophon.

If you have time, take a ride down the Tonsley line and you'll see three H class trams (H class being the original trams built for the line after it'd been converted from a railway in the 1920s) out in open. They are located in the now vacant car storage area of the former Chrysler - Mitsubishi factory bordering the railway at Chyrsler Park. Thje SA Govt is trying to find suitable heritage oriented organisation to take them over.

Oh, so you still catch the southbound 7 sometimes? 

I always enjoyed doing that run despite the traffic congestion along Cowper etc.  I was pleased to get a steer tag for a week last year - as the northbound No 7 which I regularly crossed @ Dickson was scoring a steer tag most days as well.

Nah, it was actually in the afternoon to get to Dickson to meet another driver, most mornings I don't even head in to Belconnen now as if I start early (like this morning) I get the school bus.

Based on that, I think I may have spotted you in Woden this arvo, Smitho.

Saw a mk1 artic parked just past the northbound intertown bay with '11 City Loop' on the desto, then when I went back past it had '729 Weston Creek Express'. Would've been around 1700hrs.

Yesterday (Friday 17th)

713 (goes well)
877 (pretty good too - featrures a plastic dinosaur on the roof, just back from the desto box). Has a nice shiny freshly painted orange front, just with the ACTION 'network' logo; no MACK badge or Renault logo. Anyone know the story behind the "new" front?

Must have been first one to drive it since it returned to service Smitho, as it was sitting at the Belconnen workshops on Thursday night, minus left hand side of bumper but with dinasour still attached to the roof.

Referrence your ID photo, do you remember 'The Honeymooners'; was it Jackie Gleeson who played the husband-bus driver lead role as in your photo? Wondered if this show is being repeated on any of the Pay TV networks.

Amazing to see some of the ancient re-runs which are on offer from TransACT TV - such as "The Lucy Show" and "The Beverley Hillbillies". Be nice to see a few of the old westerns re-appear...like the Warner Bros trio of "Bronco", "Cheyanne" and "Sugarfoot". Then there was "Bat Masterson", "Laramie" , "The Lone Ranger", "Bonanza" and of course, "Roy Rogers" ...chuck, chunder!

Yes that is ol' Jackie in my reference photo in the guise of Ralph Kramden, the world's first TV bus driver.  And yes, The Honeymooners screens on Fox Classics at 0730 Sundays.  It still cracks me up even though it was made over 50 years ago in glorious black and white.

Gee Smitho, showing your age owning up to knowledge of some of the shows you mentioned in your post...LOL!

For the record, my buses on 31 July:

720 on morning S/R, then northbound Route 3 (yes, an artic through ANU - no dramas)
823 on 11 north, 729 south, 28 north

And for Friday 1 July:-

726 allocated for morning S/R, but had to ditch it as it wouldn't hold the air; instead took
715 S/R
890** on 11, 729 and 28.

Ok, now i have more time to write this, heh.

Bus stopped at calwell shops, some pax get off, two supervisors get on, whilst doing so, man gets out of seat, tags off, and proceeds to sit on..the gunzel seat.
Driver: Are you getting off here?
Man: No no, i get off next stop!
Supervisor 1: Then why did you tag off here?
Man: I get off next stop!
(please note, i wasnt paying much attention, and was sitting on the other end of the bus..)
The supervisors then spend a good 4 minutes (Yes, i timed..) standing there explaining why he has to tag off at the correct stop
Anyway, after all that, the bus continues. Gets to the next stop (First one on casey cres, for those playing along at home), bus stops, a different passenger gets off. Hmmm, he said he was getting off here. Me and friends giggle to self.
Continue driving up casey cres, driver is still explaining how the gps in the myway thing measures patronage .etc (he did a good job trying to explain, i admit), and the man was like "I STOP HERE!"
Driver: You need to press the bell..
(Hmm, getting off at the next stop hey? we've passed two now!)
Man: "I WRITE LETTER! I WRITE LETTER!" *storms off bus*

(I got off at the next bus stop, and proceeded to joke "Yep, tagging off now!") :bonk:

Thanks for that blow-by-blow Bubzie.  Evidently a disorientated GOM.  Possibly not of an English speaking background.

Anyway, I caught 781 today.  Better still I drove it around the TISC yard and did some cone work with another trainee.

Look out Canberra and QBN, we'll be heading out on the road tomorrow.

781 for TISC training. Out on the road today.  Clipped one curb going through the ANU.  Doh!  That's one beer I'll owe.  No doubt there'll be more in the weeks to come.

Saw Ed in the T depot sheds while I was waiting in the re-fueling line.  A great day. Learned heaps.

Extreme loads on the 200 may be more frequent than you think, both in am and pm peaks and in shoulders; irregularity of 200s due to Northbourne Ave congestion can severely flow through to extra heavy loads....plus service cancellations arising from bus shortages.

Yesterday was a bad day for me on buses.
first was....
715 (1/3 of a 665) Broke down halfway up Pockett Avenue. (doors not working)
712 (1/3 of a 665) Came and saved us. Took us too halfway up Tharwa Dr. (Some smoke/Dust stuff came out of the parts around the turntable. We left it there) I don't know what it was but it didn't look good for the old girl. :(
715 (1/3 of a 665) Returned after been fixed up on the side of the road to complete our journey! :)
714 (500) This bus did NOT breakdown. 712 was gone by then as i knew it would be.

Fraser's old bus was 970. There really was a lot of old crap out at the careers expo on Thursday, Deanes had every old Leyland thing they could find and Bankstown had an Austral bodied coach (two stroke GM engine) which was the ultimate Steam Train.

Yesterday: #796 Belco trainer with 10 newbies and two trainers on board.  We ventured into the deep south to practice navigation on routes 18, 19 and part of an 11.  Must have looked funny to passers by, all these blokes on board wearing high vis vests.  Might have looked like a prison bus...  LOL!

There is a (kind) reference to Fraser in some driver's scribblings on the bulkhead below the desto box - that was what set me off thinking 863 might have had some long past connection with him. (In the event, 863 was quite a nice bus to drive - internals not too bad either for a Mark 1).

Makeham's Coaches Coach 9-Countrylink Service CLK781 (Canberra to Cootamundra)
Countrylink XPT 2015-CLK623 (Cootamundra to Melbourne) *First time on a Countrylink train in 5+ years & good to see nothing has changed, with the NSW section of track still slowing the trains. Proof is we left Cootamundra 10 minutes late, Albury 15 minutes. Arrived Melbourne 5 minutes late.

Yarra Tram 5019-000 (City to City) *After a tram died at the depot & other trams ended up banking up, so the other tram was sent back down the line. So this tram was brought out of the depot to clear any back log through the city. Some passengers didn't like the 5-10 minute walk. I didn't care as I was able to walk past all the old trams that are used on the City Circle loop just sitting next to the footpath in the depot.

Yarra Tram 141-72 (Melbourne University to Gardiner) *A pedestrian was a bit confused & abused the tram driver for honking at him. His excuse was the red light for the cars, means trams stop. This is (apparently) not the case, with pedestrians meant to give way to trams.

The other place I had booked decided to close before I arrived & left no other contact details. I knew the name Rydges & Bell City was the closest may I ask what is wrong with Bell City anyway? It is only a 5 minute walk from a tram depot.

I'm not saying anything is wrong with it. I stayed there with a few other members in April. The only complaint I had was the small size of the twin share room. The view from the room on the 7th (?) floor was amazing!

Today
Yarra Tram 2053-86 (Preston to City)
Vline Loco N475 (Melbourne to Bairnsdale)
Dyson's Bus 490-Vline Service (Bairnsdale to Canberra) *As I come to the end of this trip, I highly recommend taking the Vline service to/from Canberra via Bairnsdale. For only $52 (including first class from Melbourne to Bairnsdale) it is cheaper then Countrylink & the coach is actually comfortable to sit in for 6 hours. That is unlike the Countrylink BCI which was uncomfortable after 2 hours. It was even worse as my wide load couldn't comfortably fit within the grooves of the seat (on the BCI).

Also the journey from Bairnsdale to Canberra is more scenic then via the barren Riverina region.

It was 'catch a bus to work day' so I caught 384 on a 314 sth and 469 for a 315 nth.

Yesterday it was 313.  Another nav day (routes 7, 9 and 10) but this time in an Iris. Wooooooo, fine to drive but how about them brakes!  Touchy... not feely, just very jerky.

Fri: nothing like another day of nav training in an Iris!  This time with #311.  Brakes much smoother.  Perhaps we're just getting better at it.  We did route 31 and parts of a 2, 10 and an 81.

Today it was a cross-section of pieces of runs: 2, 9, 10, 23, 24, 39, 63 in #363 bright and early out of Tuggy.  Noice.

437...318 sth, 319 nth.  A couple of good ones to do solo.  BTW and FYI, 437 has the new radio system on board.  It works fine to hear messages from base but seems to have a fault in being able to call back.

So, I was lucky, a good week of newish MANs to round out the training.  I dare say the fun will really start on Monday as my first proper shift is earmarked for an Iris.

Try to avoid anything above 305. If you can get it 304 is the best.

Thanks for that MB.  I drove two Iris's while training, 313 and 311.  The former was shite (brakes!!), but the latter not too bad.

Fine thanks Buzz, I really enjoyed it...well, apart from being assigned an Iris!

Today was a different story, still enjoyable though.  I took 119 for the PM part of my split shift (in the absence of any 2s in the shed) but only made it through one run, #9 City to Campbell Pk.  Upon approach to the stop in front of the offices I got two warning lights: battery and temp.  After shutting down and lifting the lid it revealed thrown belts, all except one.  So it was onto base, a wait for the mechanic and no more runs for me today.  Aren't you glad you asked.

BTW, I had 310 for the AM part of the shift.

Yeah, gotta love an Iris bus Chris.  Reminds me of the time Peter Griffin (Family Guy) said to his daughter Meg - after farting in the car - "You gotta love the gas Meg, love the gas".  Class act.

Anyway I had 314 again this AM for my 7 and 8.  Maybe I'm just getting used to things but I found it not too bad in the brakes dept.  I did however, have to log it for a few minor issues, one being the left indicator buzzer comes on as one l-o-n-g noise.  The actual lights on the bus work fine, but it's annoying when you're boarding and setting down to have this thing blaring.  Took it up to Quick Fix.  No one home, so it was off to the brix.

I've now driven five of the 20?? Irises.  314 seems a good one.  Your thoughts on others...

Thoughts are avoid Irises whenever possible. If you have to take one, i try and stick with ones under 306. Obviously in the mornings you don't get a choice so its tough luck then.

This morning I had 316 which, like 314, seems fairly OK.  Mind you, I'm only doing light load runs with time to spare.  I took 841 for yesterday's PM and it was fine for an old war horse.

314 has always been one of the OK ones. 313 has the cool LED tail lights, which i wish they'd fit to all the Irises.

304 is the best of them for the next few months, until it dies in the ass and they fix up another one.

I took 867 for the PM end of the yesterday's shift.  It went along well.  Call me old fashioned but I prefer Mk1s with manual destos...an extra reason to get out of the chair in between runs.  Obviously these two runs, 9s and a 58 are not too tight in between.

I spotted you as you were loading for your 58N yesterday, I don't know if you saw the gentleman in a fluro green vest (that was me) or the magpies that wanted a turf war then & there.

I knew the driver who had the shift with your 9 to the City & the 58 the Belconnen back in Network '09. I would assume that both runs are fairly quiet, especially the 58 from Gungahlin. I just hope you have never been stuck trying to get out of the ACT Hospice.

No I didn't spot you 400.  Too focused on dogding pedestrians as they dart or daydream across in front of bus traffic.

Yes both runs are VERY quiet...except along Goreen St when the bus rattles and jumps around on the uneven surface of 'old Canberra'.

I've not been trapped at the Hospice.  Any potential for making that blunder was pointed out in training.

A week of Darts in the AM and Mk Is in the PM.  Routes 9 and 52 respectively plus SR 415

Mon: 132, 864
Tue: 144, 867
Wed: 141, 845
Thu: 144, 840
Fri: 144, 841 (best performer of the week)

While I wouldn't like going around in a Dart all day, they seem fine for a few light runs.  A good thing I've warmed to the little buggers because I've got a another week of them ahead of me.

LOL, 817 had idle set to low and had an air leak, every time it sat still for too long the driver was unable to release the handbrake without revving the tits off it. and due to the air leak the rear tyres were rubbing against the wheel arch.

The 88 was used to get to Swinger Hill as it was the first bus heading that way to depart.

Most of the 840s are pretty good with 841 & 846 the better ones.

I'd have to agree with you, in particular on 841.  Obviously my driving experience across the entire fleet is limited at this stage but I really liked this one.  Good steering, suspension and the retarders kicked in gently which doesn't seem to be the case with a few of the others.

It was all the better having it yesterday given that I was driving a 52 northbound.  Due to the Mitchell fire diversions I got to drive up the Federal Highway. The regular passengers seem to like the change of plan too.  Just for a moment it seemed we were escaping the drudgery of our daily lives and heading to Sydney...so said one of them.

An Iris actually, but it's slim pickings in the sheds around 15.30.  The reason I got a MAN for two of the days is that the shift was being occupied on those days by a driver on gradual return to duties after injury and it was decided that the driver should use one of those buses.  I tagged along in case things went pear-shaped.  All was fine though.

Would you expect anything less of a '3'?  I was discussing their short comings with a colleague the other day and we agreed that in a perfect world the 3s should be scrapped ahead of many of the 2s.  Not surprising there are always more 3s than 2s in the sheds come mid afternoon.

Good luck with that CNG.  I know I've only driven a handful of them in my short time at ACTION, but I'm afraid whenever I think of 3s the term 'shitbox' immediately springs to mind.  I never liked them as a regular commuter either.  I will concede that some 3s are better than others.

No, just another floating shift.  I don't think they let the newbies do spare work until we're a bit more experienced.

I am lead to believe the problem is to go wit the torque converter not locking up, hence the bus is loosing a lot of power.

The reason for that delay is actually because the driver has some sort of idea. From experience all the 50 series runs have to much time to get to the first timing point after Belconnen (William Slim/Chuculba) so leaving late ensures the bus stays on time once leaving Belconnen, the people who do the timings need to look at tightening the timings up to avoid such occurrences.

Took 935 out for afternoon runs today - one of the best Mark 2's I've had for a long time, never short on smooth power.

Bus 'owner' must keep a keen interest in making sure bus is well presented inside and out - one of the few around still with its own broom.

Merv319 eh?  You must be an Iris fan with a name like that.  I'm yet to drive 319.  Is she any good?

Just while we're on the Iris subject - and apologies for being off topic - but I'm wondering is it a proven statistic that they're prone to breakdowns more than most other bus types in the fleet. If so, why is that?

309 is a very good bus, it used to be a heap of shit, but they have really worked on it

Caught it earlier in the week, it certainly bucks the Iris trend of being heaps of shit.

Just wait for summer, you'll see...
OK thanks, so I take it they're poorly engineered for ACTION requirements, i.e. can't hack the pace in the heat.  Thanks for the tip.  Hmmm, best avoid them this summer if poss.

Merv319 eh?  You must be an Iris fan with a name like that.  I'm yet to drive 319.  Is she any good?

Yep, 319 is the coolest bus with the great name logo at the rear of the bus-and it's smooth as well.

AM part was a .3.  I was assigned 993 on Monday but it wouldn't start and I was close to being due out so they fixed me up with an Iris.  Fortunatley a reasonably good one.

So I've finally spotted you Mr Kramden. I jumped off the 903 at Fraser West Terminus.

I will praise you for that very nice thing you did for that young lady at Dunlop. Not many drivers would go out of there way to do that. Just a pity you took that direction out of Fraser West (without saying too much).

The past week's shift consisted of runs 2 x 7, 10,  S/R 546, 701, a few school charters and covered a route 28 Woden-Cooleman.

Thu: 119, 110
Fri: 112, 867

COMMENT: 112 was the pick of the 3s, but I still can't say I enjoy operating them.  They seem cumbersome...awkward.  Apart from all the annoying rattles, the door switches are notoriously dysfunctional. By contrast, all of the old Mk Is mentioned above were quite good; very responsive.  Echoing the words of many long-serving drivers I've met, they're a damned good bus...especially considering their age.

I took out 817 the other day as it was the only Mark 1 left when I turned up to do my afternoon runs; had been under the impression that it was a bit of a snail, but in fact it went pretty well - it was a pleasure to operate for the afternoon.

Mechanical side seemed faultless, Air conditioning was good, AM-FM worked well, internal presentation was reasonable, externals were reasonable too. Would much rather see Mark 3s being sold off than these venerable old girls.

The past week's shift consisted of runs 162, 67, 2, 8, 39, and 80. Plus some o/t Wed with S/R 529 and a 59.
Mon: 851
Tue: 461 (with that new bus smell)
Wed: 950 (shit box) 856 (a joy to drive)
Thu: 392
Fri: 454
I'm sentenced to a week of Darts from Monday, so feel free to honk at me if I'm broken down on the roadside.

Mr Kramden, I hope you enjoyed your journey to Forbes on Wednesday. I also hope you enjoyed one of the easiest routes in the ACTION Network in Route 162 without hitting any slow point gutters on Vansittart Crescent.

I did thanks.  Always a pleasant trip out at 'Forbes'.  I have a friend who lives out there.  She calls it Ford-ay.

Yes, 162 is uncomplicated.  No scrubbing of gutters in Vansittart for me.  I'm better at these things now.  In fact Vansittart seemed less challenging than say, Bradfield and Melba (Downer, #39) or Lhotsky (Charnwood #313 etc) even most areas in the ANU.

In that case CNG you'd probably want to take 134, if given the choice at B depot.  It was assigned to me this morning and runs quite well.  If I had to do a whole shift in a Dart I'd want this one.

You can justify it all you like, but when the real time info starts getting analysed - these are the types of things people will criticise ACTION about. If the times arent correct - tell your timetable people.

As a passenger, its frickin frustrating.

So how many times did your Darts break down Mr Kramden?
After your offer earlier in the week, I was on the look out for any Darts broken down, but I didn't see any (sadly).

No breakdowns 400 but hardly surprising given that I only had them on the road for about 90 mins (2 x AM 9s).  They all ran pretty well though one (can't recall which one) was a little slow getting its air up.  Other than that they were fine.  Not in a hurry to drive them again but I'm sure I'll get to experience a liitle more Dart driving after the Christmas break is out of the way and they've all had a long rest.

Note that I did have two Iris's this past week and both didn't let me down on the roadside.  Apart from their hideous engine noises I am warming to them.

That would most likely be 134 - it seems to have a fault in one air circuit which results in it being slow to build up air and fast to lose it once compressor is switched off.

Had 491 for weekend detail...some interesting novel features besides the special notices about it being the 75th Custom diesel MAN bus for ACTION. For example, large red buzzer (bell) buttons for passengers with poor eyesight etc , re-located short-stop brake button as requested by driver representatives (further forward, similar position to CNG Scanias)...

Looks like you're in some kind of 'bus heaven' over there.  Reminds me of when I was last in Perth (2006) I took a wrong turn and ended up driving our hire car through the City Bus Port.  Epic navigation fail on my part.  But it was grand to be surrounded by so many green and silver buses.

See if you have time for a northbound train ride to Joondalup.  Love how that train runs right next to the Mitchell freeway at street level.  It's an unusual experience driving along and looking to your side only to see the train wheels almost at eye level.

Enjoy your journey in a fantastic part of the world.  Would live there if it wasn't so far away.

While you're in the West, try and take a ride on the 'Australind' trains (Bunbury line)  if you can - they are an early version of the IC3 cars which NSW Countrylink calls the Xplorers and are a derivative of a type of Danish Diesel Multiple Unit.

Kramden-I'll differently take the Joindalup line as I plan to go to the most northern TransPerth terminus. Also having caught the old Rockingham/Mandurah buses to the City & being stuck with the cars. It is also fun to fly down the freeway reserve at 130k's, while cars crawl in peak hour.

Smitho-I'm tempted to head to Bunbury by train, but we'll see how things pan out.

Yesterday I flew back:
QANTAS
Longreach (Boeing 747) (Perth to Sydney)
I got to have a go at a passenger for sitting in my seat, with my seat being 26D (which is next to 26C). But he had 26G, eventually he worked out the alphabet. Then just as we pushed back, we pulled back in & had to let an ill passenger off. This same passenger had problems with her bag going through security. We ended up getting into Sydney 20 minutes late, so I had to make a dash to my next gate.

Unknown Boeing 737 (Sydney to Canberra)
This one had the noisiest brakes I've ever heard. When we stopped the whole cabin rocked backwards & forwards. It felt like we struggled to pull up at Canberra Airport.

947 again; pulled it up alongside 977 at the end of my shift @ Tuggy Depot this evening.

977 now also sports the AOA version of the Abode adverts.

Although not a supporter of AOA, these buses are real eye catchers judging from the pedestrian interest I've noted while driving in 947.

Yes, 818 goes OK, although a little slack in the quick acceleration department.

I was thinking it might be a good candidate for our Sand Groper friends (Adams Bus Lines).

Used to be my AM school bus driver's shift bus back in high school. Used to have the most shockingly squeaky brakes, to the point where you could quite clearly hear it arriving at a stop 250m up the road - was even worse up close, trust me :)

Thankfully its been long since fixed.. in fact, its seems quite rare for any bus to have more than a slight squeak of the brakes these days.

A bit of nostalgia for you Buzz.

Not much to be said about 881 other than 'it is a good bus' like the other 880 Olympians.  886 is the stand-out of the 880 series members presently based @ Tuggeranong....a superb bus.

Officially it is still 'standard' but because there are fewer standards available now (they are often all gone by the time I start my afternoon half), I get allocated a green bus instead....even the PR3s are scarce at that time of the day (around 1500).

In years gone by, Adelaide was the only city in the world where you could buy a tram ticket to Paradise.

Now you have to make do with a humble bus to reach the Pearly Gates of Paradise!

Read "Destination Paradise" for a good account of the Paradise trams, one of the longer tram routes to outer suburban Adelaide operated by the Municipal Tramways Trust (MTT).

I've only seen the Citadis Trams with old ticket equipment & these are the only trams that the Clippees sell tickets on. So once the new ticket system is fully rolled out. I suspect Sydney (for a short time I suspect) will be the only city in Australia with Clippees on the trams.

Understand what you're saying about the 'clipees', Bus 400....although in modern times, the Bay Tram clipees weren't dedicated conductors; they were just tram drivers having a rotation on the ticketing side. Usually, two drivers would be teamed up on a single tram, each alternating between driving and being ticketing conductor from one run to the next....a good arrangement for keeping the job interesting.

The Tidbinbilla Extravaganza was on again this year, sadly the buses only went from the carpark area down the hill to the main stage area (in years gone by they took patrons around the park, but now you drive yourself around). So I ended up catching Buses 491 & 498 & an ex-SNT bus that is now painted up for Tidbinbilla (the other ex-SNT is for Birrigai).

Today the RTA/RMS held a community day for the (soon to be opened) Holbrook Hume Highway Bypass. The public were invited to catch a bus out to the bypass & walk in the middle of the road (& not be killed by a car going 110k/hr.

Despite having AOA on both sides and on rear, this was otherwise a very good Scania gassy in every way; thought it must have been someone's shift bus, but quick look through its log book indicated otherwise...different drivers every day.

Is this because of the Scania engine, or CB 80 body? Man make CB 80s as do Volvo, (I think)

I just can't stand those late Scania's bendy or rigid. All the Scania's before 534 seem to have a nice classic Scania engine (with that nice sound when the bus finishes accelerating) but 534 to 559 don't have that sound (have not ridden a 560 to 5## yet). Even the Gassies have that nice sound, (not that I would rate them above CB 80s.)

Even the Gassies have that nice sound, (not that I would rate them above CB 80s.)

Different transmissions I believe. Therefore different sounds. By the way, only the gas Scanias,  steer tags and artics 506 to 525 make the sound in question. Artics 526 to 538 do not and none of the euro 6 Scanias do either. As for 527 and 528...they make more sounds than they should...and that's not a good thing...they tend to whine...

I only like 535, 538 and 565, 362, 478, 487, 513 and 519 out of the Scanias as they are slightly more decent than the rest. But I do totally agree that MAN or Volvo buses with superior bodies (I.e. not Custom) would have been a better choice than Scanias.

I won't dare bring up my beloved 725 as I know The Love Guru will give me the Merc talk again...

I might as well mention I got 489, 324 and 536 today to have at least something relevant

For the benefit of saying on topic I got 881 and 114 today.

As for the transmissions, the ZF Ecolife is a very boring transmission, much like the Voith boxes found in the MANs and PR100.2s, although obviously the .2s are three speed rather than the 4 speed in the MANs and I would expect they are totally different given the age gap. As for the classic ZF whine found in their older gearboxes, you will find that a 100.3 which has a well tuned gearbox (110 is a good example, or was las time I was on it) make the same noise. :)

EDIT: I left the Irises out of the list of whining boxes, as pointed out by KoB, not that anyone cares about the Irises :P

I had 538 this morning, I think these artics are good enough, except sitting in the back of an artic for the first time in quite a while, I found out that my driver (who is the fastest one I know) mounts every single corner and roundabout, so not all that pleasant.

I like the sound of the newer buses

I'll do it. Generally, one company supplies the chassis and engine and all that stuff, and another company builds a body on top.
So basically (design permitting), any body can be put on any chassis. You can have MAN CB80's. Scania CB80's. Scania XDi's. Cummins XDi's. Volvo CB80's. Volvo XDi's. Mercedes Optimus'! Most bus chassis can have any bus body built on top or at least adapted in most cases.

It has been in service since at least last Thursday...and any bus can look shiny if it has been detail and/or cleaned...
939 looked shiny this morning too  :-X



And I got 479 and 369 so far today...

There are CAT Xdis too, or at least there were until CAT stopped on-highway engine supply.
In the case of the Xdi, only the engine is made by Cummins. Rest of it is made by component suppliers like ZF, Merritor, Hendrickson etc etc

It's frustrating when the bus doesn't show, but what's with people whinging about the cold?

Don't know about you guys, but when I catch public transport on a cold morning, I dress for the conditions rather than legging it to the stop one second before my bus is due dressed in my January best expecting a toasty warm bus at 6am on the dot.

Buzz you are so far from the average commuter though, they think the bus is heated overnight and if it's cold on the bus it may be because the driver is being nasty. Most dress totally inappropriately for the sub freezing conditions, particularly school students who must think it increases the size of their balls to wear shorts and a t-shirt.

I didn't catch a bus today so can't really add to this thread.
I did drive a couple though.

Well you'd better get used to it. You're quite fortunate if this is a first. Since network 14.1, I can think of at least 3 cases where my bus didn't come and a few more where buses have even been 15 minutes late. I'm so jealous you got taxied to school in one of those vans though, I wouldn't have the nerve to go up to them and complain  ;)  (And when they find out how far I need to travel to school, they would never offer to take me)

What could you possibly mean!? I wear 5, if not 6 layers to school everyday plus the other usual cold-weather gear... And I have to admit, this morning was cold even by Canberra Winter standards.


Anyway, the buses I got today were 381, 502, 112, 457, 946, & 941

Actually, network 14.1 has been a lot better to my service. In Network 14, this bus didn't show up just about every 2 weeks which was utterly frustrating. Apparently this was because of "driver availability."

Today, I travelled on:

544. (Bus showed up today. When it appeared behind the bushes, everyone at my stop mutterd: "Yay" "It's coming today" etc.) I got my favourite seat in the bus (those one and a half setters and some lady thought my bag was her own personal leaning pole while she was standing. There were lots of other seats available to take. My personal space bubble went *Pop*. I hate those people who pay cash. Seemed like everyone on the bus had done so and I ended up only just making my next bus. Crap.
531

517. Hate it when people see an orange bus in front and they let it pass by and get on the green bus. So selfish and stupid. I feel like saying "Get on the bloody bus  in front!!"

That's because I didn't have too. All I'm saying is that if a bus is on Northbourne Ave and it is a PR3, and my bus is behind (4## or 5##) then they can get on that pr3 instead of wasting other people's time choosing the aircon bus. In a different circumstance where the bus is by itself with no one in front, then the passenger can get in the ac bus!

The pax has the right to signal and catch any bus that is in service.
Your logic is flawed. If it's peak hour on Northbourne it's going to make no difference to your service as you can't really overtake anyway.
Think you should stick to the back of the artic.

Twas the normal driver...it happens a couple of times a month. We always get a euro 6 in place of a STAG cause of the greater seating capacity than say a gassie. We've had 565, 561 and 562 a few times in the past on this run. And it is the 319 ex-LMP at 0747.

No, I'm just making my point.

552 (31) so, at Mouat Street and Northbourne intersection, lights turn green and the bus doesn't go. For some reason, door light are on. Driver opens doors about 5 times but door lights remain on. Driver starts hazard lights, gets out, and try's to shut the doors fully, which they are. Lights still on! Holding up lots of traffic now, and honking. We all disembark, and walk to Northbourne ave stop. No buses for about 5 mins only 202. Soon enough, bus seems to be fixed and starts again...
552 (31) again from northbourne
949 (4) missed 834 and got this bus. Training assessor on board as well as new driver. 949 is whiny but seems to sound good.

Interesting day of buses from me today :P :P

You can always report buses to ACTION by the way...I do it all the time when things like that seem the way...
I'm probably sounding like a particular driver...logging everything. Hehe

Regardless of what bus and passengers, I mainly worry about the bus drivers. Some just glare out at you. It's worst when you enlarge the photo and realise that the driver glaring at you is the driver of another run that you get daily  :-[


Anyway, my buses for the day:
575 (65)
447 (318)
304 (31) -first IRIS in months  :o
447 (School run)
367 (318) - had to wait 12mins for a blue rapid  :( . Even worse, I missed other bus and had to sprint from ice skating rink to canberra college stop to make the 67 it in time. Otherwise, we would've passed each other at the entrance to woden BS
561 (67) - Bus upgrade from a PR100.2!
967 (67)

I don't enlarge it to look at the driver. When I zoom in on the camera to check out the fleet #s, and the driver is smack bang in the middle of the photo glaring right at you, you can't help noticing...

393 (935) Bus goes awesome! One of my favourites! Went round the Narrabundah terminus fine, note that a peg still exists on Matina a few meters from the terminus on the other side of the road. Friendly driver on 393 too.

Some stupid idiot tried to tag on and it didn't work and she said: "always worth a shot," implying that she always tries her my way card even though she knows it has no money on it, but thinks that money will mysteriously come on.

Report it there:
https://www.accesscanberra.act.gov.au/app/forms/action_feedback

Not here.

BTW, IMO a driver should only be telling passengers to sit down on an artic if they are doing dangerous activities or riding in the turntable or rear steps. The rule that all passengers must be seated only applies to highway school runs. Feel free to report that also.

If she had performed a top up over the internet recently, then yes, credit may mysteriously appear. Highly unlikely that a top up will be available in the afternoon since the upload is only performed at the start of the day. But that hardly makes her a "stupid idiot" or selfish for that matter.

If anything, the fact that she paid cash should be applauded. There are far too many passengers who expect (and often get) a free ride just because there's no credit on their card.

Statistically speaking, it is more likely to get a 'green' bus than an 'orange' one.
Just hope the shifts running your services are allocated a artW (Artic), EURO, CNG or IRIS (doubt it would be a STAG). Or alternatively even if it is a std or PR3 shift hope the driver gets a choice in buses and likes one of the 'green' ones.

Anyway, for me today...

The driver from that school run took this 31, so I get him anyway (on time though) and the new driver they gave the school run left so on time that I missed it :-[ . At least they take these complaints seriously (The status has been changed to 'in progress' on the Access Canberra portal).

I got it this morning (from Tuggeranong). But I doubt you were on it unless you were the lazy guy who got on at Soward Way/Athllon and off at the next stop - Soward Way on the other side of Scollay St. He walked further to get to the back of the bus, to sit down, then walk back to the front to get off. All in 30 seconds to a minute!!! Apart from that, the section of the run I was on I was alone so yeah...doubt it sorry!  ::)

There is a non green bus shift that used to get a EURO (or more likely) a K320 (new one) and ever since 1 month and a half ago, it has got 912 pretty much everyday.....

It would be so much easier if you could type in the fleet number of the bus on NEXTTHERE or Transittimes to find a bus in question. But Transport for NSW won't allow it apparently due to "private contracts" with private bus operators; so apparently that means that if Transport for NSW won't allow fleet number bus tracking, the whole of Australia won't be able to either. :P

TfNSW has nothing to do with the development of apps. That is up to the individual app developers and they can be tailored to each city or operation. For instance, we can ALREADY see fleet numbers for ACTION in the apps, you can't in NSW...nothing to do with TfNSW!

Also, there is zero need for a fleet number search in apps. Remember, these apps are there for the travelling public - not just for bus enthusiasts! The only vehicle ID information which is relevant, especially in Canberra, is wheelchair accessibility and bike rack capability.

If people are so desperate for a fleet number search app, then develop it yourself!

Tram Tracker Melbourne has the idea of tracking trams using fleet numbers and that whole app is run by PTV.

To tramtracker.....have you ever been on a Melbourne team? Have you seen what is missing in their real time system that NXTbus has? The passenger screens, the whole point TramTracker search by fleet number is because the trams do no have pax screens, hence you type your fleet number in and it tells you where you are, its not there for enthusiasts! No need for an app with that feature here because we have passenger screens onboard.

Today was the first time I have been on 535 since April (I'd been on 986 more recently!!!). It helps to have a lot of favourite buses (e.g. 535, 565, 982, 362, 378, 499, 478, 487 etc.) though...and free time so you can actually go looking for your favourite bus(es) when you get the chance...

You realise the drivers have no control over those screens?

They crash and/or die often enough anyway...

Actually, they do. But I can't think of many reasons why a driver would choose to switch it off.

More likely is that it's faulty.

As before, better to report it here: https://www.accesscanberra.act.gov.au/app/forms/action_feedback

Or send @ActionBuses a tweet.

Please explain how AOA sightings are now apart of this thread? The last time I checked this thread was called, "What bus did you get today?", not "What bus did you get and AOA sightings did you score today?", as it is, the sightings are totally insignificant and not worthy of a mention, the only times a bus in AOA needs to be mentioned is if; a) the bus is in a new AOA, b) AOA removed or c) AOA significantly changed. This discussion would should take place in the AOA thread believe it or not!

For me today I got 962, 449 and 996

I personally don't see much value in this thread. I thought AOA sightings might make my posts more worthwhile by adding these, for example, if a AOA was removed, then we might get a more accurate date for fleetwiki. If you don't like them in this thread, just read the top half of my posts in this thread.

And while I'm issuing reminders about forum guidelines, number 6 states:

QuoteComplaints about transport staff including Drivers and Interchange Officers should be directed to the appropriate channels at the relevant company. Any complaints posted on board must NOT include specific details regarding the worker involved. This includes photographs, names, bus fleet numbers or descriptions. Complaints regarding on-time performance are excluded but should not be directed at drivers.

Several posts in this topic may have breached this rule. I would strongly urge anyone who wants to have a whinge about operational aspects either send it in to ACTION and/or set up a twitter account and direct it there.

Warnings may be issued to members if complaints continue to be reported here.

Yep, that's right 62 buses in 11 hours, broke my previous record of 60 (recorded 30th DEC 2014), and probably p***ed off a few drivers in the process (due to duplicated trips with the same driver).

That's worthy of a what the hell. Just a question, how long was each trip? Like full runs or...what? I doubt it...but still an interesting effort! I've only done 33 in 1 hours before...a lot of them were full runs or decent length runs.

I was up at the Belconnen Stations, each trip was about 3-8, (some 14), minutes each, but I made sure (as I have always done in the past) that the trip is long enough to 'count' as a trip by my rule book. From Cohen St. Station, to the community Station, and back again, repeated 29ish times. It's not as fun as it use to be, but I've gotta get my 1000 buses of the year somehow. I've managed 1000 buses (exactly) every year now since 2011.

Someday, I will attempt 100, but that's not likely to happen anytime soon  :o
oh and 4 of those trips weren't at belco, cause I live in Kambah, so it's 2 hours worth of traveling (4 buses) just to get there and back.

I've done something like 1400 already this year just by gunzelling most days during my holidays and also my daily trips to/from school...I'll probably be at like 2000 by the end of the year.

I know that (some drivers have talked about you ;) ),
but I don't always have the time to go 'round catching buses all day everyday, if i did I'd probably have the same, maybe more if i bothered, and cause I'm now going to CIT in Woden, I'm getting half as many buses as i did when i was going up to Bruce. :( so yeah :( :( :(

I'll be doing some more Bus Hopping again on Friday, so more buses :D and hopefully some more oldies, ;) not planning of beating my PR2 record or anything, just a few more than yesterday would be nice (really don't like the E5's that much), and it'll help that I won't have not slept for 27 hours this time.
I might just add, even though it's something of an almost impossible task, i worked out that it would be possible to get 100 buses in one day, which i know sounds absurd and really tiring (which it is), but it is still possible with the way I do it, but... with ACTION's not-so-good after-hours network planning, due to the last trip being cut off from every route at night (some routes, 2 trips), 100 is made harder, but still possible. ;) I'll do it one day... maybe.

Never give up on your dreams or what you can achieve.
Go out and get those 100 buses in a day. You know you can do it!
Just keep a positive attitude and stay focused on the task and you will succeed.
Just remember to work hard and make no excuses.
Excuses are for losers! Oh wait a second..........

I might just add, even though it's something of an almost impossible task, i worked out that it would be possible to get 100 buses in one day, which i know sounds absurd and really tiring (which it is), but it is still possible with the way I do it, but... with ACTION's not-so-good after-hours network planning, due to the last trip being cut off from every route at night (some routes, 2 trips), 100 is made harder, but still possible. ;) I'll do it one day... maybe.

What????? Euro 5's are the best. :P

Never give up on your dreams or what you can achieve.
Go out and get those 100 buses in a day. You know you can do it!
Just keep a positive attitude and stay focused on the task and you will succeed.
Just remember to work hard and make no excuses.
Excuses are for losers! Oh wait a second..........

Is this meant to be a positive message?

You may think they are, but I don't like them, out of all the new buses, I still prefer the iris :P. And I'll PM you why I don't like the E5s :)

Firstly, I would like to mention that I will no longer be posting what buses I catch, mainly because no one cares and it creates many meaningless posts. The same would probably apply to you guys.

Quote from: Sylvan Loves Buses on October 06, 2015, 11:14:18 PMI've gotta get my 1000 buses of the year somehow. I've managed 1000 buses (exactly) every year now since 2011.
I've done something like 1400 already this year just by gunzelling most days during my holidays and also my daily trips to/from school...I'll probably be at like 2000 by the end of the year.
Same as KoB for me. I get 6/7 buses every school day + more on Fridays and occasionally weekends. 1000 isn't much of an achievement

No its not. You should know better by now. I think you have also missed the heavy sarcasm in the whole thing. If the sentence was to have been finished, it would have gone '... you are one'.

No, I didn't miss the sarcasm in that comment. Had I decided to elaborate, it would have gone: "is this meant to be a positive message because I see nothing "encouraging" .

And now I understand why the What bus did you get on today thread moved from fleet to playground.
Because the thread is understandably a playground.

We missed the turn off to Canapus so a passenger assisted the driver and we went into Spigl, took the first right which was Leneham street and went down from there. Would have been fun though to have seen a bus go around that one lane section on Spigl.

I get buses nearly everyday, but 2-4 to me I don't think is worth mentioning, which is why I don't post all that often...

As for today though, I got: 442 (961), 557 (900), 434 (906), 546 (902), 503 (900), 386 (962), all B&R (bike and ride).

For now on I'll be adding in letters to indicate direction of route, just so some peeps don't get too confused, and for others to express their imagination more ;) (E-east W-west N-north S-south L-loop) (B&R = Bike-&-Ride)

And as I forgot to mention some buses that I caught a few days ago, I'll mention them all together. (The significant ones of course)

12th Dec:
505 (961N)B&R, 441 (900N)B&R, 407 (909E)B&R, 559 (909W)B&R, 417 (900S)B&R, 457 (900S)B&R,
576 (961N), 461 (900N), 565 (909E), 2619 (999S) {this one I have not added to my total count this year, but i have mentioned it in my extras ;)}.

22nd Dec
497 (64N), 346 (26W), 960 (26E), 494 (2N), 106 (2N), 463 (300S), 434 (64S).

Today another 56 for my 1000 (i still have 213 to go before the end of the year for my 1000 :-\. I even almost lost my My Way card today as well, so apart from being burnt to death, and washed away {by the rain} at the same time, for the first time in a very long time, I used a payed ticket ::) ,and it's much easier to use for bus hopping I noticed :o).

434 (64N), 475 (319N), 559 (343N), 904 (40W), 420 (31E), 501 (14W), 535 (343E), 584 (14W), 585 (3E), 966 (40W),

I would stick to either N or S without introducing E/W, much easier to read, and very few services just go east to west or west to east over the whole thing. Just a thought

Well, would you rather if I told you exactly where I went then to make it less confusing for you :P? Cause the reason I put E/W is cause the Belconnen stations are not north and south from each other, and most often I don't travel the full distance of the route, sometimes it's only a stop (which counts as a trip in my rule book) and mostly from yesterday and today, I was bus hopping on and off 300s from Belconnen to Woden/City, and some of the stops are East/West from each other.

But anyway, 47 more today.
440 (64N), 539 (343N), 338 (300N), 582 (30W), 302 (44E), 895 (15W), 535 (313E), 487 (250W), 583 (7E), 929 (31W),
895 (15E), 962 (7W),  952 (12E), 896 (14W), 520 (250E), 907 (17W), 478 (250E), 962 (31W), 530 (313E), 113 (15W),
901 (30E), 433 (14W), 903 (7E), 330 (250W), 429 (313E), 951 (52W), 481 (300E), 567 (343W), 314 (12E), 536 (314W),
114 (12E), 570 (30W), 926 (51E), 902 (30W), 900 (44E), 429 (343W), 583 (3E), 504 (319E), 475 (343E), 545 (300S),
360 (313S), 338 (318E), 402 (319E), 351 (318S), 368 (319S), 351 (19N) and 519 (64N).



So would you rather I continued just to do this ^^ (just for my bus hopping days) or would you rather if I just took a photo like that (below)? Cause to be honest, I've already written it down once, soon to be twice when I have to put it all into my log book, and it's a lot easier to photo the page with my laptop camera, than typing out several hundred numbers, after just arriving home from a long 12 hour non-stop bus hopping day, whilst only having 6 hours of sleep before going out.
I'm just wanting to ask this, cause I plan to go bus hopping at least 4 more times this year to get my 1000, and in case of all the future times I bus hop.

My bus hopping is spamming up this post :o, good thing I only bus hop every December (mostly) [emoji14]opping:

You'll have to try & spread it out next year to 2.74 buses a day (Cohen St BS to Belconnen Community BS & return & do that twice every second day). That should make 1001 buses

Yes, well I will be planing to spend more time on buses next year. I had thought about it the past few weeks, don't want to be 300+ short again by December 2016 :-\

As for 1001, no, it's gotta be 1000 exactly, I like to keep things accurate, and work towards an 'achievable' goal, like I managed it in 2012, 2013 and 2014, (could mention getting 1111 in 2010/11, whatever year it was, but screwing up and getting 1112, but I won't :P).


Anyway for today, another big bus hopping day:
Old Personal Record: 62 Buses
New Personal Record: 65 Buses
Yep, that's right, I caught an incredible (amazed myself again) 65 buses today, all within 10 hours ;D

If the monthly cap is still there it doesn't matter. Even if it did, you could just buy a daily ticket still...

Well, I did actually have an issue with a My Way machine during that day, and if there was a cap removal, I would refer back to paper tickets :P

And before any sly remarks materialise from certain members (you know who you are  ;) :P ), I know I need a life.

I'm not sure if it is sadder that I've done all these journeys or sadder that I've spent the time extrapolating my trip data from my bus log book and calculating all these statistics from it...oh well. I had a fun year  :D

Happy New Year to everyone!

How come you got to travel on all your favourite buses and spend lots of time on them and I only got to travel on a few of my favourites?

Not all of my favourites. A few missed out.
But NXTBUS is a great asset in finding specific buses. As is hanging around bus stations and if one of them comes through, following it for a run or two  ;)
Some of them just happen to always show up (and I don't mean on the same runs and times) wherever I go too. Especially 565 suspiciously...

Wow, thats a lot! I'll see what I can get out of my book, but not as much detail as yours, and it'll take time, still have tons of data to sort through

I was actually thinking of making a new thread for this sort of thing, but to late now ::)
I guess, I may as well put my stats up too, but same as you, it's going to take me a while too.
Years ago, it would just be adding all the tally marks up, but now I've expanded the details in my (new) book, so working everything out may take a few months instead of a few hours :o


Better get on with it then ::)

Due to the height of the air con unit, this brings the dimensions of the bus to the same dimensions as a midi bus.

It isn't a midi bus though as that is based off length - not height. Otherwise by that logic, a MAN Gassie is bigger than an Artic...

Had a few more buses than normal today, and I thought why not try to get 490 today, and so I did (after wasting 3 hours in Civic waiting for it to never come ::) )

491 (313N)

And credits to KoB and Sir Pompously for the assist
;D490 (4S)
;D490 (749N)
341 (749S)

My main intentions for riding 490 were not only to get an idea of the interior a little better than from KoBs photos, but also to notice any differences in the engine sound, seats, designs, and anything else that may aid my drawings - as I've officially added it to my 'bus drawing gift' (get them free while you can :P), collection. But mostly more to upgrade this v v                                           I'm happy now that I've ridden it, and not missed out :D

All I can say is "ARGH my legs!"

up to bus hopping again, doing it now, so I don't have to deal with it in December, when I'd rather be having a holiday.

Yes, I really did catch 77 buses today (completely wrecking my previous record of 65 set on 29th Dec 2016).

I also had a list of buses with me on which buses I had not yet ridden (excluding Iris, S-tag and Artics), managed 28 of the list 120 :D

Am I correct in guessing that at least one of those buses was actually a TARDIS - since that list could not be achieved without time travel either to the 1980-90s or to a few years in the future.

no, i did do it all within a 12 hour period, as you can see here.

although, if I did have a Tardis, I would travel back to Year 9, get my drivers licence training course that my school had, come back to now, and enlist to be an ACTION driver, cause I'm officially the right age

After all the mayhem yesterday, I forgot to post my bus hopping trips I had yesterday, oops :popping:.

So anyway, yesterday, I was surprised how many I rode again, cause although it was a weekend timetable, I got many more than I expected.
And although there were those few bus spree times with those current dumbass times where all the routes leave at the same time (from Cohen) - somehow, I still didn't have to wait long between stops.

57 trips (may as well have been a weekday with that number :popping:), 5 more that I hadn't already ridden, 77 (lol) to go, till i hit my 200 to go mark.

Heaps of A Set trains, 2 K Set, 1 S Set & 2-3 V Set
2 x Manly Class Ferries, 2 x Palm Beach Ferries
A couple of Custom Buses, heaps of different Bustech buses & a few others.

Well excuse me for not having a top notch memory, I didn't look at my book while I was typing that comment, I was trying to stay on topic by adding the few buses that I could remember by hand that I rode today, excuse me for not remembering them all. Look, I'd delete it or re-type it in correctly for you but for some reason I CAN'T EDIT MY POSTS

Certainly not your kind, that's for sure... I'm a new breed of bus enthusiast, a kind you wouldn't understand (or at least have a hard time understanding).

BLUE - indicates a bus that is on my mind of buses I hadn't yet caught this year.

Bus Tracking Stats (aka highest priority buses to ride):
This mornings buses on mind - 913, 949, 955, 970, 973, 150
Now - 913, 955, 970, 973, 104, 108, 110, 119, 377, 381, 386

RED - I saw this bus, but was unable to ride it

Today officially marks me riding all Darts that are still in service for this year. (any that were decommissioned during the year that I did not know about are excluded)

529 (313N)
339 (57N)
414 (School run)
455 (318S)

Todays buses were:

894 (56S) - very pleasant ride, am I right that this is the oldest bus still in service?
148 (101W)

I guess 919 isn't withdrawn as tentatively suggested on fleetwiki, at least yet.

So little variety out on weekends these days..I only saw 3 Gas buses amongst the sea of diesel MANs and diesel Scanias - of which, 382 was the only MAN Gassie! I miss the days there were Irises, PR100.3s and PR100.2s out on weekends too - especially the Mark I's!

My bus tracking is going very well at the moment, caught another 5 required buses today from the 7 that I rode.

348 (64N)
955 (88L)
328 (5N)
386 (160S)
973 (318S) - I was so thrilled when I caught this (PM me, if you want to know more details).
??? (110)
608 (64N)

This officially marks me riding all P2s of the current fleet, excluding those few 890s that were decommissioned around the start of this year.

All available P2s, Midis, and others (excluding 2619 and AVASS) buses all ridden.
4x P3s, 7x Iris, 8x Scania, 1x MAN, 9x E5, 12 E6, 12 Stag, 16 Artics remaining.

Sightings (today that I can remember) of the remaining 69 buses of the current fleet I have not ridden this year: 335, 411, 456, 578, 616, 617

Well, this was yesterday now,  but still...

965 (Year 12 Formal Charter)

Because how else does the King of Buses make an entrance to such an event! Just a shame they screwed up and didn't send 967 or 971 as requested...  :'(

[/size]With this, I am am now migrating my data into a spreadsheet which will replace my bus book, as after the others posted their annual summaries, I tried and tried and still haven't managed to get last year's. With a spreadsheet it should be much easier as I can get it to tally etc automatically and it is searchable and sortable

Buses remaining that I have not yet caught this year - P2s, 104, 108, Darts, 304, 306, 308, 312, 319, 346, 381, 396, 418, 449, 456, 578, 617, 618, 466, 468, 470, 472, 477, 486, 489, 511, 512, 515, 519, 524, 526, 527, 529, 534, 535 and 622.
Won't get them all, but getting at least the P3s, 346 and 381 will satisfy me. I'll make getting them all a goal for next year.

It seemed there were possibly 3 darts operating the city loop, because 151 went past southbound on northbourne when I was on 148 waiting for the turn onto barry dr- 151 went ahead and turned right onto alinga which I presumed meant that 151 was operating as well with the contact from base to driver advising to avoid barry drive due to an accident and use marcus clarke (not rimmer)- although we used rimmer anyway.

Originally I was to get the 23 from Woden CIT drop something off at Mawson shops, and get a 22 to Pearce Terminus, but instead, I rode and got there a few minutes ealier, which in turn worked out unexpectedly magnificent in the timing (as the 21 and 23 pass at the same time), as 623 came by as the 21.

Why her?
It would be interesting to go back and see what the initial possessive pronouns used for various bus models were, when they have been used. It may give some indication of initial impressions. Of course the MANs would probably have been referred to as a he, but what of the Scanias, Darts, Irises etc?

I think buses are just generally called 'shes', like ships, boats and trucks etc. There is a reason for it, I just can't remember.

Because why not? Not trying to spark an equality debate or the likes, but quite often you'll find that vehicles are referred to as female (the only exception I am aware of, generally, is as you said, MAN vehicles). If you want to know more, I suggest www.google.com.au (http://www.google.com.au).

Now, I'm pretty sure I am not the first to bike 'n' ride an artic with the new racks, if I am, then what the hell... cause up until now I had not seen a single Artic rack in use.

All that's left to find out now is if the use is allowed on normal services. I did see a 61N with an artic before getting on 522, but once again wasn't being used. Just like this, I guess I'll have to find out myself.

Not ACTION and not all buses but this seems (from past posts) to be the topic used.

VH-VZU "Lorne", 737-800 (QF795 Canberra-Melbourne)
33, Tullamarine Bus Lines (rte 479 Melbourne Airport - Airport West tram terminus)
2099, B2 class tram (rte 59 Airport West - Moonee Ponds Junction)
209 Z3 class tram (rte 82 Moonee Ponds Junction - Footscray)
748M, part of train (Footscray - Flinders St via Southern Cross)
2063, B2 Class (rte ??, 1 stop Flinders St - Arts Precinct)
126, Z3 Class (rte 5, 1 stop Arts Precinct - Flinders St)
879M, part of train (S. Morang service, Flinders St - S. Morang via Southern Cross)
8390, Volvo B7R, Transdev (rte 901 S. Morang - Melbourne Airport. 'Smart Bus' service originating Frankston)
VH-VZY "Temora", 737-800 (QF822 Melborne-Canberra)

Notes:
The "Smart Bus" rte 901 runs every quarter hour and takes mostly over 4 hrs between Frankston and Melbourne Airport on a route orbiting around the outer suburbs. So this one route alone would irequire the assignment of over 34 buses.

Flight time take off to landing to Melborne 53min and on return only 41min. Entirely down to head versus tail winds.

I still haven't called ACTION to ask about the routes that may or may not allow usage of the bike racks on the artics, but from what I can guess until then, it is up to the driver.

I would think all of them, given the artics haven't been restricted to certain routes like the STAGs,

I would normally agree, however, there is the concern of the suburbs that have those roundabouts or sharp turns followed by the keep-right signed islands, a few of which on Langdon Ave I've had some close calls with by either having my bike or the rack getting bumped by the signs when a standard bus is turning past them.

Don't you think action would have said something if they were imposing any restrictions on bike rack use of artics? I don't think it would be any harder with an artic, possibly even easier to get around those roundabouts. I presume you mean keep left, not right.
If you want to impose your own restriction on bike rack use just don't put your bike on those routes. But if no restrictions are placed on standard buses that are in some cases failing to get around, why should they restrict artics with the same issue?

627 (67) First ACTION Bustech ride! Initial impression when boarding was whoa, when seated was still whoa. Not sure how taken I am with the interior, looks cool as you get on facing the back but not so cool seated facing the front. It was after dark so not quite sure what the effect is but what's with the blue spots all over the windows? Exhilarating ride nonetheless and felt more powerful than the E6 although there's no reason it should be, probably just the perception that comes with getting on a new bus.

The Custom CB80 Scania K320UB Euro VI's and the Bustech VST Scania K320UB Euro VI's are equally powerful - they're have the same chassis/engines! The only difference is the bodywork.

As for those "blue spots," they're actually an anti-graffiti measure.

632 (65) - Presumably first day, possibly first run in service if it wasn't out in the morning, but MyWay machine already broken. The excitement for the Melrose HS students was real - "woah it's a new bus, like really really new" "whoa look at the stop light it's so fancy it doesn't just say stop it says bus stopping" "woah look at the stop buttons you can actually read the writing it hasn't been scratched off" "whoa it's so shiny" "woah this bus smells I can still smell the newness" ... You get the idea. And I'm sitting there like grrrrrr...

710 (56) first boarding (and sighting). It was pretty cool, sounds so different, though the brakes seemed less effective and jerky, you notice the clatter more because of the quieter engine (which does not make for a quieter trip overall) and the interior is a little more bland. The front > < shaped LED lights that I hadn't noticed from initial photos are cool

So, with all those buses I managed to get that I hadn't already this year (marked with blue), I only have a few left now to worry about to get before the 'ride before decommissioning' goal stats get worse;
-925, 952, 953
-101, 108, 121, 122
-135
And the remaining numbers that i still haven't ridden of the whole current fleet of 2017;
x8 Iris
x17 Scania
374, 378, 381, 384
x24 E5 MAN
x30 E6 Sc
x16 Stag
x11 Artic
x8 M6

Required rides;
x3 on 710
x2 on 712
x1 on 621


Oh yeah. Last week when I got my first ride of 712. My opinion of the bus is; I like it, however it was louder than I thought it would be esp on the outside, and considering it's an electric bus that is kinda a bad thing cause I thought electric meant quiet - it's quiet when it's motionless, but that's about it. It also shudders during acceleration as if it were a manual drive which seems weird, and makes it a little slower than the other buses, but apart from that it's a nice bus. I's also odd sitting behind the rear doors with the double doors when I'm so use to a single door.

I also got lots of photos for both to share and to assist my drawings which I'll share later.

712 isn't an electric bus, 710 is. 712 is diesel electric vehicle which means it runs using a diesel generator to power an electric engine, not unlike a diesel locomotive train.

It's not a diesel-electric either. (Not sure if anyone makes them.)

It's a Hybrid diesel. Has both a diesel engine (5 litre 4 cylinder) and an electric motor which both connect to the i-shift 12 speed auto.

More details can be found on the fleetwiki or Wikipedia.

Update: according to Wikipedia there is a Mercedes-Benz Citaro which is a diesel-electric (powered by traction motors).

Got another which is somewhat relieving. Spotted 925 and 952 too, but was unable to ride them at the time.

Thanks to the driver of 621 being early, I got enough time to run up to the parking to get the roof shot I was desiring - had to film it instead of a still photo, but I got what I wanted.

With 712, someone could've said something about TC having this on their site...

Finally got 710...
Ironically it seems when I try so hard to get a new bus and fail on multiple occasions, I get it when I least expect it.

710 (300N)
614 (971S)
637 (967W)
443 (962N)

Also, cause I asked when I got off 710, I met up with the bus back at T when the driver was returning it to the depot and finally got the roof shot I was after (recorded not photographed), of which a rear shot of the bus I might be able to extract to get an image, for use in the gallery.

710 (67) 8m late
979 (6) 10m late, tapped on and off
495 (6) blank desto, either a failure or not yet updated with route 6
607 (2) my afternoon school bus driver from last network
927 (6) cheery driver, apparently impressed with me using a phone torch to signal bus on dark street

961 612
300 580
300 605
961 617
966 493


I have to say the 966 is scheduled really badly - 2 minutes after a northbound connection at Erindale on the inbound and 5 minutes before a southbound connection from Woden at Erindale for the outbound, although I luckily made it both ways because my bus was early and the bus I was changing to was late (the second case my bus was right behind the 966 - driver flashed lights for me to signal it)
Also amusing that I have a bus through my suburb later on a Saturday than a weekday.


Also have to say that all 966, 964S, and 300S at least seem to be timed very loosely

Quite an impressive list for one day Sylvan. Just curious, do you have any minimum distance standard? Or does as little as from one stop to the next nearby stop count?

Post by: Sylvan Loves Buses on December 21, 2017, 12:02:46 AM
If you think that's impressive, you should check back to last year 28th Sep to see my record of 77 in one day ;)

Quote from: triumph on December 20, 2017, 05:13:31 PMJust curious, do you have any minimum distance standard? Or does as little as from one stop to the next nearby stop count?

It depends on how far the next bus stop away is, and how long the bus takes to get there. That's generally how I determine my travels, more so when I travel with my bike, I try to extend where I'm going a little further often just so I don't peeve of the driver cause it takes just a little longer for me to board/exit the bus with the bike.
Bus stops such the double stop on Duggan Street in Calwell would be considered cheating as they're way too close (https://i.imgur.com/GehFEf1.png), a friendly driver giving me a lift from Plt 7 of Woden Interchange to Plt 11 to say "hi", or any stop along Summerland Cres (Kambah) cause of the distance between.
To make my 'Bus Hopping' more legit, for any Interchange/Station I go to do it at, I try to make the effort to make the distance that I'm travelling count, so for each Interchange/Station I go to, and depending on the routes I get, I will travel to;


Tuggeranong Interchange:
300s N-bound - Bus stop no.2 - back from no.3
62/705 - Tuggeranong Pool and back
319/19 - try to avoid
The rest - Homeworld or Police Station and back
Woden Interchange:
2/21/25/26/27/60/160/62/162/83/749/791/792/300s - Bus stop no. 2002 (outside tradies) and back
2/160/162/791/792/300s - sometimes around the corner to the Phillip Pool stop and back
6/23/24/66/67 - to Bus stop nos. 2378/2379/2380 crossing over to 2093/2094 to get back (try to get these less often cause of the longer wait periods)
May even get off and get back from the college, but that's pushing it
3/22/80/88 - try to avoid
Anything travelling south on Ahtllon - get off either 2651 or 2687 - cross to get back. Years ago I would go as far as Mawson/Melrose to go back but that was time unnecessarily consuming.
City Interchange:
3/6/7/8/40/300s - literally the first stop after the Northbourne lights, bus stop nos. 3042 (3/6/7) and 4530 and back from either 4529 or 4531. I may even get another bus to the ANU if I see another I want at the lights before crossing back to either of the 4529/4531 stops.
200s/30s/50s Northbourne bound - usually as far as 4554, crossing to 4553 to get back - frequencies of buses will affect my decision
6/200s Constitution bound - try to avoid
81/Tuggeranong Parkway bound routes - try to avoid
All Commonwealth bound routes - get of at Floriade stop (8888) cross to 8887 to get back.
So like yesterday, I was pretty much doing the Floriade and ANU bound routes.
Belconnen Stations:
All routes from Cohen - get of at Community Station
All routes from Community Station - get off at Cohen
I will only get off at the Westfield Station for a rare lunch break or toilet break.
This is how a got 77 in 8 1/2 hours, cause of the number of routes that go through this area and the frequency of it. 5 minutes per bus, averaging around 8 buses an hour, and I report any drivers who fail to stop when I signal for them - happens quite often here.



And just so we stay on topic...

I was looking back just now to the original post, back then I had no idea what you meant, but I found it.

Quote from: Barry Drive on September 28, 2016, 08:11:59 PM
Am I correct in guessing that at least one of those buses was actually a TARDIS - since that list could not be achieved without time travel either to the 1980-90s or to a few years in the future.

910 (300W), 656 (E), 395 (3W)
that was suppose to be 565 (12E), just a simple typo - I was pretty tired (which is normal after a long day of bus hopping).

Thank you Sylvan for your detailed reply on what you judge as a minimum ride. I tend to agree, but personally I class Cohen - Community as a 'short ride' as I find I sometimes elect to walk it.

You are quite right about buses at Community (N bound) and Cohen St (S bound) Stations not stopping if they are a terminating service at Cohen and Emu Bank respectively. Most drivers assume the passenger wants to go further and has signalled in error, or have already made up their 'till', or are running late and if S bound intend to double back (as I have seen) at the Community Station. I do think this is reasonable and I wouldn't be reporting it.

I admire your dedicated enthusiasm in riding large numbers in one day. A dozen is a big day for me. Whilst I expect you will reach your 1000 for the year, I feel you have negligible chance of riding, by the end of the year, all the buses you list as yet to catch. The problem, as you would recognise, is that as the number uncaught decreases, so also does the probability that the next bus will be one from that list, so it becomes more and more difficult to catch up with the last few.

Have a great Christmas.

Quite, although I caught another 44 today, 22 of them being ones from the list. So I probably struck luck today at the City, and will notice this inevitability soon.
Thanks, you have a great Christmas too!

I'll be at it again across the weekend, hopefully I can bring it down to below 60 remaining.
This'll help for the last few weekdays of the year, as once again the last bus of the year has to be a Renault.

As kinda mentioned at the start of my post, I only rode the 43 part of the 343. So it only counts as I've riden on the 43. Much like the Blue Rapids, not the 314 from Woden to City.

Another 7 ticked off

Only 40 buses remaining to ride for 1000 for 2017
9 buses of the 2017 fleet still remain also - I seriously hope none of these are on the bricks, cause that would just suck. If not this year, then more certainly next year as I'll be trying a little harder.
As of 27th Dec:
305, 316
358
438, 457
544, 552, 620
514
Two of which of those I missed out on cause it seems some drivers are too lazy to even bother open their doors when it comes to straight off arriving and departing when starting a route which is rather inconsiderate I must say, even for the few others I saw trying to get said routes of which I won't mention.

I haven't seen 305 for months (and even then it was last seen on the tow truck!)

As for my recent travels, I'll just say I've had plenty of time with 442 and 528 over the past 24 or so hours...plus a few others inbetween.

Well it is official that I will not be able to ride all the 2017 fleet at least once as of today. 5 still were remaining. Oh well, next year - hopefully get those Renaults before the new buses replace them. Missed out on 316, 514, 358, 438 and 620. 438 of which I actually saw and would've caught as it was doing that 163 you caught KoB had I not been as impatient and got an artic instead.

It may have been a 577 specific issue? The one bus I tried to track yesterday was bus 577 on route 966 and while it had realtime, for some reason it wasn't transmitting vehicle location on tripmate or cbrbus.

It may have been a 577 specific issue? The one bus I tried to track yesterday was bus 577 on route 966 and while it had realtime, for some reason it wasn't transmitting vehicle location on tripmate or cbrbus.

There are some problems with all real time mobile apps at present for the majority of routes.

# The median gap in Northbourne Ave at Murdoch St (normally used by rte 7 leaving Dickson Interchange to double back along Northbourne Ave towards Belconnen) had just been apparently unexpectedly barricaded off. Driver continued via Morphett, Challis and Antill Sts to resume normal route in Mouat St and reported details to base.

It's a reasonable assumption. (Which is another way of saying "I wondered the same when I saw 665 in service".) But there haven't been any sightings either way - unlike 666 which is clearly visible from Coulter Dr at the back of Belconnen Depot (not in service).

Anyway, unless proven otherwise, 664 is listed as in service on the Fleet Summary.

I am noticing that posters in this thread are riding a very large number of buses in one day; this signifies that some may be spending their days riding around on Transport Canberra buses all day.

Yesterday; I drove to the south, then made a journey using two buses. It is always an enjoyable ride along Yamba Drive in a Renault, however 970 was quite slow uphill.

How did it smell compared to 710?
Now that I finally can answer my own question, thankfully not as bad, although unfortunately I can't say the same for 673. Seems no longer we have that sharp-like sweet smell for the Volgrens like the green buses and instead have a rough bitter metallic scent.
Finally had an opportunity to ride one of these full-electric buses with few passengers for a full 40 minute trip, and although the somewhat scenic route made the trip more relaxing, I really did enjoy the ride. I hope they either keep 710-712 or get more very soon.
