Spotted 969 tonight in a new AOA for the Canberra Centre

(apparently Renault Rider beat me to this news, however)

Cool!!! Does it look good??

Buzz Killington · September 15, 2008, 07:48:03 PM

yeah its not bad. The rear is a charcoal gray with the swirls etc and the logo, left and right was white with olive green swirls, with a male and female model, Canberra Centre logo and slogan. I think it had a bunch of store names above the windows. There was no fleet number at the front on the right as there was a store name there.

Is the bike rack still on

Buzz Killington · September 15, 2008, 07:51:24 PM

..Yes. Why wouldn't it be?

Snorzac · September 15, 2008, 07:53:27 PM

don't know, pointless question. They may have taken the rack of while doing the wrap, or is this a proper AOA??

Buzz Killington · September 15, 2008, 08:30:58 PM

they've left the front alone on every AOA since about... 2001 now.. around the same time they moved to wraps for AOA's i think.

Nah, Chrus_Guru reported it to me, and I passed the news on to Busnerd, I still haven't seen it.

Saw this cruising around Weston Crk area at 5:20pm yesterday. Looked quite good.

So much for ACTION only having two AOA buses for other companies (Which they were aiming for a few years ago!). Doesn't actually look half bad, proably one of the better white AOA's around.

thanks for the photos Locki!

Just saw 969 in a new canberra centre AOA. It matches the new 'defining fashion' tv ads. Looks pretty good!

Irisbus Rider · March 20, 2009, 06:52:37 PM

Yeah, saw it in the City Interchange this morning, is a purpely blue now, looks sexy hot!

Buzz Killington · March 20, 2009, 06:56:55 PM

i do believe i scooped you too, John. I made the mistake of posting here, then taking a phone call, before texting Busnerd only to be informed that you had told him 'four minutes ago"

Irisbus Rider · March 20, 2009, 07:01:19 PM

Yes, you did actually, we only saw it seconds apart, but you saw it first, which is all that matters, so I suppose Congratulations are in order!

Buzz Killington · March 20, 2009, 07:55:05 PM

WOOT!

Saw it from a distance, the rear looks okay, that is all I saw.
