It's a white 0305, anyone kniw who owns it? Not sure if it's a MK2 or 3 maybe a one even. It definently not ACTION unless it has being completly refurbed.

I Do believe that is a MkII owned by some charter operator in the ACT. Have not seen it around for a while, but saw it the other day for the first time in a while. Others would know the name of the operation, I do not.

Capital Charters, saw it the other day and read the accreditation under the drivers window.

Snorzac · August 23, 2008, 06:10:12 AM

Ex STA?

??

and when I saw it on the day of posting this thread I had a good look at it and it had no accreditation under the drivers window, but as usual I could be wrong

Basically every PMC bodied (especially MkII and MkIII body) O305 has been with STA. And there are over 750 of those buses.

I love 0305s pitty it wasn't my class that got it

Irisbus Rider · August 26, 2008, 10:45:29 AM

O305's and O405's are simply stunning, light years ahead of their time, but sometimes, certain bodies let them down.

Snorzac · September 05, 2008, 05:28:41 PM

I have being on this bus all day it is a merc of some description and it belong to Rogers Day Tours, I think it is a 0404 but I'm not sure can anyone tell me if I am right.

Irisbus Rider · September 05, 2008, 06:25:23 PM

Lucky you! I'm jealous, a merc bus of any description is just beautiful.

If it is a white mercedes benz, then it will be an Mercedes Benz 0305 with a PMC body. I do believe you even mentioned it in your first post.....

Is that because you cannot fit in it John? I sure know I can't, Mercedes Benz make a 'tallist' bus. I call discrimination.

Snorzac · September 05, 2008, 06:35:55 PM

No it was a coach that I have spent all day on MO169 I think I just tied it into this thread as it is easier than starting a new one

Discrimination is worthy for sueing for lots of money

Nash, those piecarts generally are awful buses.

Coach, Hmnmmmmm. You might be right with O404 then.

Simes · September 16, 2008, 11:17:02 PM

Now for the $49.95 question, any idea where it came from before it was MO 262?

Yes I reckon you guys missed out, there should of been more O305's and some O405's down there

Snorzac · September 20, 2008, 05:57:37 PM

This is the coach in question, it was down by the mall a few hours ago when I went past in my mums car so I got a photo, not very good but hopefully someone can tell what type of bus it is. It has a merc badge so I would say 0404, can anyone confirm?

Irisbus Rider · September 20, 2008, 06:08:32 PM

More O305s and O405s, yes, that would have been nice.

Judging from the body, it might be a bit older. Not sure.

Snorzac · September 20, 2008, 06:15:26 PM

what would it be if it is to old for an 0404. Could it be an 0303. I thought it would be to new to be one, is there something in between the 2.

Irisbus Rider · September 20, 2008, 07:15:12 PM

No, nothing in between, as far as I know. Probably an O404 then.

Snorzac · September 22, 2008, 07:40:08 PM

I have posted the pic on the ATDB and it is an 0303-3 with a Denning Body.

Irisbus Rider · September 22, 2008, 09:07:22 PM

Yeah, Denning body for sure, but thanks for the confirmation on the O303/O404 debarkle.
