BUS 808 (1)

Bus 808 was a Renault PR100.2

Notes

It was first registered on 12 July 1989
Its National Gallery 'Elvis Lives' all over advertisement was launched in August 1989.
On 4 July 1992 it was transferred from Kingston Depot to Tuggeranong Depot.
Bus 808 was fitted with a trial Alcatel Flipdot Destination Display
This vehicle was reportedly popular with drivers (particularly the Elvis fans!)
It was one of fifty ACTION Buses loaned to the Olympic Road Transport Authority (ORTA) during 2000 for the Sydney Olympics.
Although Bus 808 is a Mk1 PR100.2, like other former AOAs, it carried the Mk2 Livery.
A combination of the Mk2 livery and Flipdot desto often lead people to mistake the vehicle for a Mk2. The side flip-dot display however was in the same place as the Mk1 roller, rather than built into the roofline.
Bus 808 was withdrawn from service at Tuggeranong Depot in early January 2012
It temporarily returned to service at Tuggeranong Depot between 1 February 2012 and 24 February 2012.
It left Canberra on 1 March 2012 bound for Sims Metal in Sydney.
