The rear of the other 1994 B10M, 24 (MO5129) can be seen in the depot yard that day alongside a former ACTION Ansair bodied Renault PR100.2 models, part of a squad of eleven such machines acquired from the capital in 2004 dating from the late eighties and all now disposed of. This one, 32 (MO8726), used to be ACTION 801 (BUS801). The third bus is one of two new style Volgren CR221L bodied Volvo B10M buses delivered in 1995, 23 (MO9605). |
Five more of the Renault fleet, all withdrawn, can be seen in this view, from left to right: 34, 26, 25 and 27 are identified, ex ACTION 691, 695, 690 and 694 (BUS691/5/0/4), respectively. |
Prior to Interline operating the region 2 contract from the 1st January 2014 they bought a pair of Volgren bodied Scania L113CRB buses from Ventura in Melboune. They were painted in TNSW livery, which apart from the insipid shade used is not too dissimilar from Interline's livery. Both buses are unnumbered in the fleet, being identified by their regos, this is MO5416, dating from 1993 and was Ventura 316. |
Seen at Liverpool Station in January 2023 was ex Busabout Bustech VST bodied Volvo B7RLE MO9763 of 2009. Despite passing to Interline with the contract for the Region 2 bus services in 2014 it had kept its 2009 livery. Interline has suffered the same fate so maybe the new operator Transit Systems who took over both Regions 2 and 15 during 2023 will get to repaint the Volvo.
