Lol I'd buy it too, but if they want $12k for it they'll have to repaint all the decals, wash it piece by piece by hand, and replace the wheel rims like what 982 had for its AOA but gold-plated instead.

Despite the fact that I don't think I've ever met you properly, if you purchased that for that price I would hit you over the head very very hard....a PR100.2 value should be around $1500-3000....

Looks like a Renault (pretty sure it's 949) is for sale on Facebook Marketplace. I'd buy it but I have nowhere to put it  :'(

Whilst probably a silly question, would the artics/steer tags go through Woden during commissioning?

Whilst not to be based at Woden under current plans. I'd assume they'll visit Woden operationally sometime in the next 40 odd years.

Quote from: L94UBbusfan on March 06, 2025, 04:44:11 PMWhen I was going past Woden depot today I saw a Bustech Scania in the depot, ... I wonder what it was doing there?
As part of the commissioning stage, everything in the depot has to be tested. While the Yutongs can test the charging equipment, you need Scania buses to test the diesel and AdBlue bowsers - and all other items in the depot where the diesels will be used, like the bus wash and the workshops.

There have been no reports of any diesels being permanently transferred to Woden (yet).
