Hello peoples!
The moment has arrived...the first ACTION MAN has arrived this morning at Kingsgrove depot for fuelling and to be driven back to customs to be delivered to ACTION.
The first bus was photographed early thismorning...
Enjoy the sexy bitch that is an MAN 18.310CNG!

The rear is also very nice, it has a rear LED desto with real oyster tail ligts and a nice small vent.
Note: Attachments are Removed once they are 60 days old due to Automatic Maintenance.
It looks really nice. Cannot wait to see it on the roads here.
Even minor details like the Blue Custom wording on the black on the front, and I reckon they will get rid of the Air Conditioned and CB60 wording before it goes into service, I can see ACTION Rpelacing it with the Airconditioned for Your Comfort and that. I wonder if it will also have my seat infront of the door, with the huge amount of legroom! However I don't think it will as the window before the door looks small, and the window after the front door is further away with a blank panel.
Agreed with Todd's post. I can't wait to catch one of these!
Great work in photographing the bus too Mat :D
looks good, but i dislike the rising windowline.
it looks great. can't wait to get a ride on it. does anyone know when it will be in service?
probably late july or early august one would think? it'll be doing a lot of driver training and workshop stuff first.. application of decals (fleet numbers, air conditoning) etc etc.
Looks good. But the livery, I dont know, doesnt look the best on the MAN.
I just realised it has a shithouse ThermoKing...they should've stuck with carrier, at least they work!
These will look bad with bike racks too...
CT, I didn't take the photo it was sent to me by someone who doesn't want to be mentioned so don't guess.
Besides that, I love it, it looks so much better than the scanias.
I can wait till the end of July. Will it be at Belco at Tuggers?
The only depot with gas.
Tuggeranong.
Wow, this looks great! Love it. But, the livery doesn't match up, under the windscreen. That's annoying me already :P
Didn't think we'd get any in Belco :'(
Well, being Gas having them at Belconnen means they must drive them all the way back to Tuggeranong, which is just a waste of time, energy and precious CNG.
Mmmmmm some nice new buses for me to watch disappear down the M5 - looks like they'll be the newest things to go through my local considering the STA appears to want to grace K with yet more hand me downs.
yay finally i can go MAN spotting at tuggers depot
in both senses ;)
ew
not as in men i meant the MAN buses
Ha ha, misinterpretation.
Apparently the decals were being applied on Wednesday, and it's out and about now!
Yeah, would be on driver training now but have not seen it anywhere near Tuggeranong or the depot. When I have some spare time I may just go on a hunt for it, when and of John decides to reply to my PM Or actually messsage me/Answer his phone!
