I just drove past, and there's three between the sheds and workshop (all in a row, 375 with fleet numbers and a bike rack), two others without a bike rack. Plus there's one in the workshop.

So that makes four. Presumably, 374, 375, 376 and 377.

378 and 379. There must be another as there was three sighted driving to Canberra this week and last week there was 3 if I am remembering correctly. That would be right, 376, 377 and 378 would have been the 2 spotted over the last few days on their way down. Hoping to see 375 in service by the end of next week, it should be according to an ACTION driver who is a very reliable source as he was the one who told me 990 would be in service by the end of this week. The rest are apparently going to come in clumps of 4 or 5 per week, and we should be seeing 389 in service by the end of November assuming there is no delays.

Well off your trot down to Tuggeranong and see if you can see anymore down there.

375 has been numbered and bike racked since about Monday from memory, so it should be in service soon provided it has been fitted with radio equipment.

Well you have 374 and 375 making 2 +2 and then another in the workshops which makes 5 not 4. But last week there was 3 and we have had 3 delivered this week. I have on good word that 376 may be in one of the workshops in Belco. Which may explain why I just saw a MAN at Belco and then       see 374 drive past. But it was from a rather strange angle and it may have just being a Scania on a meal break which it probably, I could see the gas pod bit, the fleet number and not much else. I think it was 366 if it wasn't 376.

There was 7 I counted on Saturday. 375, 377 and 379 at the back of the workshops with 921, 374 and 376 at the front of the workshops,another in the workshops presumably 378 and one without fleet number which would probably be 380.

There were two MAN's sitting out the back of the workshops with no fleet numbers yesterday arvo. 381 and 382 maybe?

There were 2 in the workshops today that would be them. 901 was out this morning

Where were you, I got off 319 and then got onto a Scania on a 312 or were you not at Belco?

I was on a bus driving by the layover when I saw it.

:P Yeah I reckon, he should've seen me!

There's two unplated MANs at Tuggers depot, no fleet numbers either. One parked out the back of the workshops, one parked inside.

All but 378 were on the road today

381 was sighted in service as of Mon 10/11/08.

381 and 382 have being in service for a while now. I also believe that 384 has being in service since Thursday.

385 and 386 are there, still no sign of 383 unless it was the onf tucked in the workshops

Snorzac

Turns out the bus in the workshops was 382. I somehow missed 383 which was hiding behind 711. 383, 385 and 386 are only missing rear plates, otherwise they are all ready to go.

Irisbus Rider

Ha, ACTION were right, they'd all be in service by the end of November.

Wow. Does that mean the new buses will come November next year? Nyaaaaah.

two unmarked and unplated MANs in the depot at the moment...

Oh, 383 was sighted by another board member today.

Anyone seen 382 yet?

Snorzac

#81
December 05, 2008, 03:34:00 PM
I got 382 this morning, so it is now in service. I believe that it is the first MAN to have the fleet numbers put on straight

Buzz Killington

Forgot to mention, 389 has been at T for like a week now

Snorzac

December 05, 2008, 03:41:33 PM
They are all at Tuggeranong. It was mentioned in the ATDB sometime late last week

Buzz Killington

#84
December 05, 2008, 05:35:03 PM
well it wasnt posted here, was it

Snorzac

#85
December 05, 2008, 10:34:59 PM
Correct although it was posted by a member of this forum

Snorzac

#86
December 11, 2008, 03:34:44 PM
If you have read the corresponding thread on the ATDB you would know that 386 is in service. 389 (38) is also in service. The fleet numbers on 389 at the front near the CB60 crap on both sides however says 38.

Buzz Killington

#87
December 11, 2008, 05:08:49 PM
shortage of 9's i guess.

they should've taken the CB60 stickers off like they did on the Irises and Scanias. It looks crap with the fleet number and CB60 part there. Although they could put the front fleet numbers up above the window line...

There's another MAN sitting in the depot without fleet numbers, not sure what one that is

Snorzac

390 possibly, if they have one. Or possibly an earlier one that was delayed.

Buzz Killington

#89
December 11, 2008, 09:58:25 PM
there is no 390

Snorzac

#90
December 12, 2008, 06:58:21 AM
There was some talk from drivers of the buses stopping at 391 rather than 389, but I am saying it is probably one that is delayed

Buzz Killington

#91
December 12, 2008, 04:09:55 PM
i know thats what you weer saying, but there is no 390. The MAN contract for this batch was 16 buses only

Snorzac

#92
December 12, 2008, 08:03:56 PM
There are 3 that have not been seen at Tuggeranong a source has told me. 385, 387 and 388 so it is safe to assume that it was one of these

Buzz Killington

#93
December 12, 2008, 08:27:21 PM
387's there.

Snorzac

#94
December 12, 2008, 09:44:32 PM
One of the other 2 then, 388 i'd say. 385 has been there for about a week IIRC

Since all MANs are now on the road, it might be time to close off this thread.

By the way take a look at the rear of 381 - is it the first MAN to sustain body damage?

Lol, Noooo!

Seems as though ACTION have proved me wrong, with that pessimistic attitude of mine. The feeling I've now come to know with ACTION has been 'No expectations, no dissapointments' lol.
