Bus 374 had its hazard lights on and by the looks of things was stuck on the intersection on Anzac parade and Constitution Avenue. A police vehicle was on scene. Anyone know anything about this?

374 was in service on Tuesday so I'm guessing it was just a breakdown on Anzac Pde. Thought it could have been an accident because I could see a swipe mark on the right if the bus.

Swipes are part of the livery these days.

After the accident a few weeks ago at the City Bus station involving 997 and 390, will 997 be repaired and come back in service or will it be withdrawn? 390 was repaired about 2 weeks ago but I haven't seen 997 out.

997 was in service today,  think it has been since 390 came back

997 returned a few days after 390, but close enough.

941 was towed into Belconnen earlier in the week but has returned to service since. 465 (I think) was towed home this week too. 131 has also been a visitor to the B workshops and may be there for heavy maintenance to the drive-train.

The sawdust would be to soak up whatever had leaked out onto the road.

470 appeared to have broken down northbound on Comminwealth Ave this morning. Driver was checking out the engine bay near Albert St. It had either 318 or 319 on the desto

Hmm...it would've been a 319...and whats more is that it would be the very same 319 service I got off about 20 minutes earlier...(I didn't do it!)

Is it still in a AOA? I don't see why it wouldn't be but I thought I'd ask...

Yep, 388 is still in full AOA. I think 403 may also have a new design rear bumper. Confirmation would be appreciated

Edit: The second bit, I meant 403

Not to me it doesn't.

Okay. I admit it then. I have bad memory. Thanks for reminding me  ::)

Either way, that part of the ad looks out of place with the rest of the livery...

accident between 502 and 569 at woden bus station @ 3:45pm today. 569 on 319 turning out from plt 6 too close to 502 on 62 in plt 5, resulting in the side mirror being ripped completely off and the indicator crushed (both on the driver's side) on 502.

Last I saw was the passengers disembarking off 502 and 569 continuing on its way. 569 did not sustain any visible damage, but 502 would be needing some repairs.

How long did you expect it to take to replace a mirror and indicator?

Meh, thought there might be swipe marks to repair meaning some new paint resulting in more time spent repairing the buses, but then again:

That's how it works.

338 also killed itself this evening just past the northbound Athllon/Shea stop on a Blue Rapid run.

If it had been on fire, it would have been towed.

Please be a little more thoughtful in what you post, and make sure it is factually correct.

907 has a trial on board douche detector fitted. So as not to distract the driver it only becomes activated once stationary for 30 seconds.

386 had its hazards on at Northbourne just after Condamine and next to it, a big tree looked to have fallen down. All cars had to divert onto the median strip in the middle of Northbourne. Not sure why 386 was stopped there (I couldn't see any damage to the vehicle.)

386 wasn't involved in the tree falling down, (if there was one) the bus may of forgotten or missed the diversion.

Bus 994's (PR3) desto is all screwed up today, caught it twice, and both time instead of saying 54 to Gungahlin, or 40 to belco, it said something like '4pH GULAHHAHAAh' most of the flip boards weren't working.

Also, 3 buses broke down at the Westfield Interchange, 2 PR2's, and a Euro 5 surprisingly. can't remember the numbers, as I was focusing on my Bus Hopping©, but one PR2 stalled at the end of bay 2 forcing buses and cars to wait while they moved it out of the way, and then another about 4 hours later on the other side broke down, as the E5 broke down with it too. The service guy came to fix the up real quick which was good. Loose screws I'm guessing  ???

Must of improved a touch, when I saw it going through Mitchell on a 980 yesterday afternoon.

Can someone tell me what's been going on with the Scania's? I've been noticing for the past year now they are al being fitted with a new grill at the back, makes them look slightly less appealing, and destroys the logo (if not removed)> is it something to do with them being old and the engines overheating, or a OHS regulation or something???
Would have thought all the hundreds of rectangular shaped openings on the sides and the few on the back were already enough?, guess not  ???
