Title: Goolwa Bus & Coach PR100.2 - For Smitho
Post by: Buzz Killington on August 13, 2009, 07:51:16 PM
Not sure who took these photos, but here's exACTION 697 at Goolwa Bus and Coach, SA.

Not as nice as the coach livery I'm sure!

They stole that logo from Shorelink!

Doesn't look too bad there.

Shockingly, they have kept the MACK Badge but not the Renault. Normally it is the other way around.

They probably don't like the french down there! :P

Thanks Buzz for locating these pictures - yes, the colour scheme isn't quite as good as what I saw on the coaches...no marine touches for instance! Still, the old girls look pretty smart for their age. I imagine they're mainly used on school runs.

It looks to be a good paint or vinyl job. Things rust like crazy on the SA South Coast with the winds blowing straight off the Southern Ocean (as you see in 'Storm Boy').

They do look good for their age, just don't think the livery does them justice. But hey, at least they still have their back doors!

No problems locating the photos - I've always kept all my ACTION photos in a separate folder for each fleet number, and have often saved any ex-action pics i have come across too. Not only does it make uploading them to the gallery easy, it's easy to see at a glance which buses we don't have photos of too. Plus if anyone gives me a fleet number, it takes about two seconds to find a photo!
