Once Dysons 166 (RFS366) this 1995 Austral Denning Majestic bodied Mercedes O404 is seen with Fords of Shepparton still carrying the livery of Eldred of Leongatha from whom it was acquired. Matching blue Fords' fleetnames had been applied when it was seen in the Shepparton depot in April 2014. In Leongatha it was 15 (1534AC), new rego 5731AO was acquired in Shepparton and the coach has since moved on to Australian Bus and Coach Service of Kemps Creek as TV8301, but was new to APT as 62 (NHM338). |
