Title: Photos around Phillip
Post by: Sir Pompously on August 09, 2008, 04:08:57 PM
Whilst waiting to head out on an 8 to Fyswhick, I decided to walk around and try and grab some photos and see if I could track down the MAN. Although 8 is a lucky number, yesterday was not lucky for me and I did not run into the MAN anywhere!

I think the MAN is having a few teething problems but I am hoping it will be back on the road soon.

The MAN has been around, infact about every day. So it is just catching up with it that is the problem, as it is normally back in the depot by Nightfall!

Do you mean doing route services if so has it being to any intertown runs? If it's doing route services I will hunt it out on Thursday

It has been doing both, and has been for about a week or so.

School buses have always have inverted desto's on scanias, they used to have the side inverted too but apparently it was hard to read so it is normal on the side but still inverted on the front, which is a good idea and looks very nice imo

they dont always have it inverted on the front anymore. more often than not, they are not inverted.
