Bus Photos

[Trucking Australia]

Hello All, 

 

I have created this thread for all those who would like to share or look at photos of buses. I do run my own page on FB of buses in Adelaide, Australia but there are more buses in the world than I can take a photo of. 

 

So feel free to post any photo of any bus that you have with the TruckersMP community.

^ I like that. Very cool.

This is my personal favourite type of bus. It's a Scania L94UB with a Volgren CR224L body.

So I'm not sure if this service even exists anymore, but what a route it was. At the time when I caught it the route would serve a route from Nottingham all the way to Manchester. This was about 80 miles in length, one way and took almost 3 hours to do the complete journey. I only used to catch this from Nottingham to Derby but one day I thought I would catch it all the way to Manchester. <--That was a mistake. Sitting on a city bus for 3 hours just to get there was painful. Later I had to catch it back as well. To take my mind off the painful journey there was the views of the Peak District through Matlock / Buxton

 

I don't know why they didn't use coaches but this was not a route that city busses should have served. For the journey back I was on an Optare Solo instead of the bigger Optare Excel.

This is an Optare Solo with the more modern engine and improved Alison gearbox. This route is currently the longest route served by Nottingham City Transport which goes from Lowdham-->Nottingham via small back roads.

Almost didn't believe you were gonna make a thread about buses but ya did haha  

 

These things are the quietest buses you'll ever hear haha, slowly upgrading the entire city to modern hybrids but still stuck with old smelly ones some places :/

I remember riding these back in the day...

 

 

[Takumi Fujiwara 86]

these (besides some of the gillig phantoms) were the oldest buses in service here until last year when they were retired.

1992 Flxible Metro C (Cummins L10 with a Voith of some kind)

(ive actually ridden on that exact bus on that route)

 

The next oldest are now these:

1997 New Flyer D40LF (Detroit Diesel S50 with Allison B400R)

only 22 of these were purchased originally (numbered 2001-2022 respectively), so they are rather hard to find.

Fun fact: Bus 2001 (one in the photo) has no rear line number display. Every other bus in the series does however.

This our fastest mode of travel in Australia. It's called the O-Bahn and it runs from the City to the Northern suburbs. It is basically a bus on Auto-Pilot.
