374 has lost it's AOA! 8)


I hate the way they've put '374' in black above the easy access lettering instead of 374 in white over the black bit above the door.

What medicine did it take. I'd recommend it to 423 :P

King of Buses

355 is now in the dark blue all homes AOA like 323 and 413.
313 is back in ACTION livery...the rear bumper is grey now too...

Mentioned elsewhere but not on the forum, 419 now features a wrap for the Phillip Swimming & Ice Skating Centre (including the CBR Brave ice hockey team)

374 has been like that since delivery, IIRC it is the only one where they did it like that.

As seen here, fleet number is the same position on both sides.

367 now in another Vikings AOA.  Something to do with there always being a spot for you at various points of the clubs (e.g. at the bar :P)

EDIT: Pic now included...

374 also deserves the "most sluggish bus of the MAN fleet" award....for some reason, it is really slow and sluggish at present.

Certainly wasn't like that when it was the new kid on the block.

Sighted another new AOA at a distance - for Metal Mart. It was a CNG bus, but that's all I could tell.

UPDATE: It is bus 350

Bus 432 sighted in a new AOA for Civium Strata. Was on 343N thru civic at 3:30pm

390 is the recipient of an AOA for the ANU

Good. The 1st MAN livery was in pathetic condition when I saw it several days ago

The question is, is the previous AOA still underneath?

Shame though, I always wanted a photo of 390 with 539 in their AOAs for being the first etc.

Buzz Killington

There was no previous AOA - just some MAN decals.

And it was reported in the wiki but not here, 446 has a new AOA for Animals Australia..which means no more of its previous AOA...I liked that one :(


EDIT: I don't like the new AOA for 446 too much. Too boring...too much space where there is nothing...but still, not really an improvement from 432...which is only just better (the green bits on that one help). But I suppose they designed it that way for a reason...hate to be looking for 446 in the dark though (if it had no lights on)...

977 has lost part of its wrap. Saw the offside this morning and the only parts remaining were above the windows and on the blue panels.

Like 978 was with the IMB AOA for a while?

Buzz Killington

Similar. Just different bits have been removed. Looks somewhat neater on 977, with just the windows and orange panel bare.

Bus 400

For those oldies not on Twitter, here's a photo of Bus 977

Barry Drive

It's only the off side - AOA still fully intact on the near side.

King of Buses

I don't like 977 having the white panel at the back too >:(

But agreed it looks better than 978 did...how long will the remains of the AOA last now though???


EDIT: Also meant to mention, 361 has lost its AOA, not sure about 414...

It has been like that for quite a while now (very early this week)

Buzz Killington

I posted that on Thursday. Does "quite a while now" really describe a period of a maximum of four days?

Bus 400

Considering that Abode Tuggeranong opened in 2012. When I completed my delivery in the Winter of 2012, I consider that the good old days.
Doing the delivery was soo scary, I'll never forget it. It's off topic,  but I did take some scenic photos while on the top floor balcony.

Well that was short lived...I didn't even get a photo of it  :(

It lasted almost as long as the English cricket team.

390 does retain the rear MAN decals. Does not seem to have the side ones though

390 has got a bit of 997 in it too now by the sounds of it...

Buzz Killington

I'm not 100% sure since it was from a distance, but I think I saw 394 minus its wrap today.

This was what 390 looked like just 2 Saturdays ago. You can see the MAN logo through the wrap.

I take it the wrap survived and the damage wasn't too much the other day?

I didn't mind that AOA... :'(

Finally noticed 361 without an AOA. It now has a Bendigo Bank ad on the rear, so it has probably been about 1 month since the wrap was removed.

The Ad has been there only a week or so. It didn't have it to start with when the AOA went.

Buzz Killington

413 has also lost its allhomes wrap.

King of Buses

394 is missing a few decals now...the easy access decal on the nearside is the main one (I don't think it had a front ACTION logo either...on the front that is...

The rear on was missing two but we can blame Redex for that...

390 has resumed service. It currently has a few missing advertising panels around the rear / right (off) side. This also means the MAN decal has gone from the offside.

It's likely that these panels will be re-applied in the coming weeks.

461 has a new AOA. I couldn't tell what it was for.

Behind the Lines. Refer to fleet wiki.


Oh, and 977 is completely out of the Abode AOA. Now features white panels at the back like 980 and 941.

Bus 503

Was it just my eyes or was 427 back window advertisement for Nationsl Patios gone? The window had no ad?

Barry Drive

#246
Not imagining it. But I didn't mention it because I didn't think the AOA would be remaining for much longer. It's now over 1 year old.

Report on twitter that 390 has had its missing panels replaced.

King of Buses

354 out of AOA. One of the Belco field vans too has a new livery covering windows too this time. Like 539s livery just without the euro 6 stuff...and on a Toyota hiace. ..

392 has lost the Little Oak Sanctuary AOA

Bus 540 has been updated. Its rear wrap has gone from this:


(Photo taken from Bus 400 on Facebook)

To this:


Side wraps (for now, at least) are unchanged.
