Most recent new purchases for the fleet had been Volvos, initially the B10M with square looking Volgren bodywork, giving way to low floor vehicles with Volgren bodies in the style of Wrights of Ballymena, the bus closest to the camera being lettered for 'Inter-shuttle'. Some Daewoo buses with King Long or Custom bodies followed and the latest Volvos have Bustech VST coachwork. The depot is close to the railway line south out of Sydney and a doubledeck Taranga electric suburban train can be seen behind this line up. The misty background is a result of the bush fires that surrounded most of Sydney over the Christmas and New Year period 2001/2002. |
Interline buses do venture on to the highway, even over the Christmas period. Maintaining bus services was 18 (MO7790) one of a number of ex-ACTION, Canberra Mercedes O305 buses with Ansair dual door 42 seat bodies. Mercedes 18, formerly ACTION 667 (BUS667), is on route from the Macquarie Fields railway station. The 1985 build was transferred to Southern Cross Transit in Karalee as 4 (BUS04) and withdrawn by them in July 2011. |

Back at the depot: 9 and 10 (MO7092/3), ex ACTION 628 and 634, with 10's blinds set for the quaintly named Minto. Both 1983 Mercedes left the fleet without futher use.
