I recieved a text from Chris this morning, stating a Metrobus 14.5m Scania from Sydney Buses was at Belconnen Depot. After making a few enquires, I was later told it was at Tuggeranong Depot and then it would be heading to the ANU for testing. I grabbed a photo at Tuggeranong, went to meet Mum and when I got back it was gone from Tuggeranong. Passing on the Information to John, he was able to get a pretty good shot in the ANU, and I had arrive just in time for a half decent shady shot. Here are my photos.

Metrobus 2108 travelling through the ANU
I received a phone tip about this one during the day and was wondering why no photos had been posted when i first got online half an hour ago!
Stickied and scooped!
Mrs. G. Cleaned this bus last week, unfortunately the rear end has been a bit sad for some time...
I wonder if they replaced the scratched window film at all?
Hope the trial went well, now you can return the bus back to my depot please :P
I almost saw this bus, but had other commitments & missed out on the morning part of a shift.
Does anyone know how long the bus will be in Canberra & which depot it will be kept at?
I didn't notice it at Tuggers at 15:00, although Workshop guys did go home earlier then usual. But only 2 buses were left on the bricks then as well.

From the information I have been given, it has already returned to Sydney, but unsure, and it usually stays at Belconnen Depot overnight.
But in another topic relating to this bus, smitho states:

Bus visits the two depots (inviting drivers to have a squiz) later in the week.
I have received information from quite a few people stating it had returned on the 7th, even Tom Elliott stated that.
It came back today to Leichhardt...it was later discovered that once again they had taken the bus to the wrong depot!
It should be heading back to P as we speak.
