We then have BMBC bus with rego 3729 MO (Mercedes-Benz OH1830L) leaving Katoomba Street in Katoomba.
On my way home on Monday I went via the Bells Line Of Road to Lithgow in a failed (pre-organized) attempt to photograph Jones Bros buses. I did manage to snap 3 buses & went for a ride through Lithgow, including some interesting diversions (due to school kid pick ups). One was where the bus has to do a 3 point turn, which results in the bus reversing over railway tracks. But Jones Bros & Blue Mountains Bus Company have to be the friendliest companies I've seen, with great bus drivers.

My series on the 2011 BusNSW Bus Show & TransdevTSL Tour will come up in the coming days.
*Also guys, just be aware that one of the operators in this thread will be made aware of this thread.
I've been up to the Blue Mountains countless times and the Blue mountains bus company have to be one of my favourite liveries on the CB60 Evo II. I haven't seen much of the Jones Bros but it looks like a nice one as well.
I have to say nice photos as well.
