969's rear.

Not the best photos, but I intend to get better shots of each bus.
Comments welcome!

Generally speaking, the bus is great! The interior is unique, the bus has lots of power, and is harmonious. Love it!

990 looks better than 982 after seeing it drive past my house and these pictures, I love the doors, they look cool. There it goes again on a 13 this time.

I don't think so, wait until Todd gets his shots of 990. I don't like to blow my own trumpet however :P

Very nice photos Mr Tokaji. It looks as though 990 has not had a repaint, just a sticker job.

It is a sticker job, as has 982, and all of the ACTION Going your way AOAs.

Lol, knew it was a sticker job, but just saying they have not looked to have bothered to repaint it out of its previous livery judging by the front which is still the old AGL AOA's day front.
