Title: Irisbus look-a-like at Deane's
Post by: Kramden on February 03, 2012, 12:40:54 AM
While driving up around the Russell/Kings Ave area yesterday I followed a Deane's bus MO-4550.  When waiting at lights I was struck by how much it looked like an ACTION Irisbus from the rear.  See what you think if you happen to spot said vehicle on your travels.  I didn't see it from the front so I don't know what make of bus it is.

It was aquired from the same company Kings Brothers who went bust. The bus in question is a Mercedes Benz O405NH with an ABM CB60.

That would look really nice if they put the DTG livery on it

I'm not.  Before becoming a bus driver I didn't get out much.

Thanks to Metrobus and Bidgee for all the gos and pics of 4550.  You guys are all over it... like a fat kid on cupcake.
