Premier Illawarra

[Irisbus Rider]

A few pics of the Marine Drive layover, which is the terminating point for many of Premier Illawarras routes. While I was down there, I got snapping away, here are a few shots. Sorry about that fence too;


m/o 6412 is a Mercedes Benz O405 with a Custom Coach "238" body. Love it! Beside it, is an Ex ACTION Mercedes Benz O305 (647) with an Ansair body, m/o 6048.




Now existing as m/o 6141 is Ex ACTION 683, Renault PR100.2 MkI, now single door, and about to commence a 57, which is a "LakeLink" route, and takes 2 hours and circles Lake Illawarra, which basically consists of nearly all of the Illawarra Metro area. Sitting beside that is m/o 6116 which is a Mercedes Benz O405 with a PMC "Metro 90" body, which came all the way from Quinces to operate with Premier.




A BCI, 4762-MO, which is new to Premier, consists of a CAT engine, and a ZF engine. Everything else is constructed by BCI.




m/o 6369 is a Mercedes Benz O405 with a CC "Bustech" (?) body. I was simply enthused with this body!




To finish off, m/o 6128 Mercedes Benz O405 with a CC "238" body is just departing to commence a 23, while it leaves behind m/o 9008, which is a MAN 18.280 with a CC CB50 body.

Sorry about the poor photographical skills there, this was taken in the early days of my camera, and only now, I've gotten around to posting them

Thanks for looking!

Every Freakin' Time I go for quote and hit remove, Sorry Snrub old boy. On IE8 you hit cancel and it removes it anyway

ex683 looks quite nice in that livery. shame they've removed the back doors though.

Atleast they did a proper job, unlike operators on the cheap. The even replaced it with a proper Hopper Window.

thankfully it takes one click to restore it!

John, re: that BCI photo, how can it have two engines? the second one you mention does not even make engines!

It would be a CAT engine and ZF 6 Speed box most likely, i've been on one and they are quite nice

[Irisbus Rider]

Yeah, ZF make gearboxes, I know that lol. Slight error there.
