One would have thought that a prime contender for early repaint would be the Mercedes O405NH buses delivered in Westbus days and still in their original 2000 livery, untouched for nearly 14 years. However 746 (1746AO) complete with Transdev and PTV stickers heads up Lonsdale Street for The Pines amdist the last minute shoppers on Christmas Eve 2013. Picture Ref A1490 |
There was still a number of the Custom CB30 bodied MAN 15.220 in National Express' simplified Westbus livery transferred to Transdev Melbourne. Unfortunately the colour match of the vinyls to the base colour gives the white Transdev oblong a more yellow background. Bus 519 (0185AO) dates from 2002 and is seen in Punt Street, St Kilda on Christmas Eve 2013. Picture Ref A1504 |
Seen at St Kilda Junction six days later is sister vehicle 528 (2149AO), one of three delivered to National Bus in 2003. The bus is seen on one of the 246 journeys that used to be extended beyond Clifton Hill to Latrobe Uni. |
