I found out that a plate was never released for Bus 800, such that Bus 800 has never existed.
800? What? Renault 100.2? Please define your post a little bit, as there was an evaluation bus (UTA MkV) with the fleet number of 800.
I think it would be with the PR100.2's. But I was talking with a real old bus driver & he started talking about a rego plate never being issued for Bus 800
I hate to rain on his parade, but there was a "BUS-800", and it did indeed have plates for it IIRC.
He could have been talking about 800, which was the UTA evaluation bus, and remained in NSW plates in it's time here.
There was a BUS 800, it now serves with Veolia as number 652.

The morale of this is, research before posting
That means that I'll have to tell one of the longer serving drivers that they are wrong.
he could have been referring to the eveluation bus John mentioned above, but yeah, there was most definitely a Renault Mk1 registered as Bus 800. Unfortunately its one of the buses i dont have a single photo of.
Here you go...800

It looks a bit weird in that livery
