Was up in Sydney recently to have a go on Metorbus. While there I grabbed a few photos and was able to ride on a 3 Door B12BLEA along with a few O500LE's and older B12BLE 2 doors.

Hope you all enjoy!
i was in sydney on a trip with college that day and the day b4 i saw a couple of the same buses, that was a lovely day with the weather
Yes Busnerd and Myself caught up with a few friends that Thursday as they were up in Sydney from Tuggeranong College.
And if your wondering, yes, i quite possibly was the only lake tuggeranong college student who DIDNT go to sydney :D
I'm enthused by those photos. Love them.
And is that who I think it is behind the wheel of 3251?
so that i dont have to do any research, can somebody explain what the deal with metrobus is?
I love that pic with the Flipdots changing. looks like a broken piece of glass with fragments falling
No, its not who you think it is...he's on a 6 week holiday.

I believe that and correct me if I am wrong that Metrobus is a high capacity route that goes between the City and the outer suburbs. At this stage I believe that it is only a trial and if it a success STA will create more routes for it.
The fleet of buses the use are:
-Euro V Volvos
-Volvo B12BLE
-Gas 0500LEs
-Volvo B12BLEA 2 door
-Volvo B12BLEA 3 door
-Scania K310UB 14.5
-Scania K310UB
Actually it runs from Suburb to Suburb operating through the city in an effort to remove City Terminus and overcrowding.
close....

oops. I when I wrote Scania K310UB I did mean K310UA but I was half asleep. I am sure I have seen pictures of Volvo Evo II rigids though
Nope, not for metrobus.
The only EVO II's are the two B12BLEA's which arent rigids obviously. Maybe thats what your thinking. Theres only one volvo rigid and its a B12 euro 3
