Title: Canberra United team bus
Post by: Snorzac on October 06, 2012, 01:22:25 PM
Not sure if anyone saw Win news last night, but they reported that the Canberra United woman's soccer team have a team bus and guess what... it's a Mk I, not sure of the fleet number

Would love to get a better view of this bus (for the livery). Will have to track it down!

Well the Canberra United's first game is a home game at McKellar Park on October 20 at 14:00.

Note the Bus Bookings phone number on the rear. Which means this bus must have MO plates + accreditation.

Looks great! shame they never had an AOA or anything. Excuse me if I missed it, but has anyone worked out its fleet number yet?

Ex 738 is still to be seen at Flynn (Hedland Cct) displaying CU-001 plates but the registration has been expired for a couple of years.

Given the recent photos posted it looks like it hasn't moved a lot, unsure why the plates would still be on if its been unregistered for a few years as you're required to surrender your plates if you cancel/don't renew your rego.

True, but not rigorously enforced thus plates are often left in place or kept.
