Here's one for the cricket fans. Since November the World Cup Cricket Trophy has been on tour in Australia and New Zealand aboard former Sydney PMC bodied Leyland Atlantean 1061. The fleet number is still inside the doorway. The bus is seen on Friday at St Kilda Beach near the pier and was doubtless due shortly on the Spirit of Tasmania to starts its tour of Tasmania. It is due back in Sydney's High Park for Australia Day. The cup was won by Sri Lanka in Bangladesh in 2014. This year's tournament kicks off in Melbourne on February 14th. The cup may be back in the city on that date, but it is unclear where the Atlantean will go with its huge screen which was showing the One Day test between Asutralia and England in Sydney live on Friday afternoon.
