Afternoon Delight - BUS-991 PR100.3

Sir Pompously · August 12, 2008, 11:40:34 AM

Yesterday John and Myself caught up with one of our favourite drivers, and BUS-991. Here are some photos from the day o BUS-991 (Which is now cleanskin, only one ad is left and that is on the rear window). Some of these are not the best, trying a few different angles

BUS-991 is resting at Gungahlin before operating a service

Two view's of the Brighter interior that the early PR100.3's have (Instead of the grey seats and grey panelling, this bus has pinky maroon paneling and brown/orange fabric)

991's Validator with a Dapto District timetable in the Holder

The way it should be, BUS-991 is displaying 333 Intertown Express

The Alcatel Destination Controller inside 991

I believe the sticker says what Martin said it said

It's there for the old radio network, a certain channel above the lake, another one below the lake. Luckily, thats not around anymore.

I never quite learned how some of those buttons worked. Would anyone care to explain to em what the P/R button does? And the * button?

Busnerd · August 18, 2008, 11:56:04 PM

They apparently dont do anything...or arent programmed to do anything

Snorzac · August 23, 2008, 06:23:38 AM

I wish that ACTION would bring the 333 back using the Artics. But they can't now because the Intertown is commited to accesible buses now

Busnerd · August 24, 2008, 01:01:38 PM

Oh no, they cant buy low floor high capacity buses...that means the 333 will never be back...

Or hang on...they had a tender out with interest for high capacity low floor buses including artics and rear steer 14.5's so one would assume they have something in mind...

Irisbus Rider · August 26, 2008, 10:47:47 AM

It has been said once we get enough low floor high capacity vehicles, the high floor artics will be solely used for school runs.
