Rosa 0691AC is caught here parked off Beaconsfield Parade in St Kilda between morning and afternoon tours in February 2012. The bus has a small dent on the front below Neighbours logo, believed caused by the car of a fan of the rival "Home & Away" soap reversing into the bus!

Depicted on the side of the bus towards the rear is one of the stars of the show, and Melbourne personality, Alan Fletcher. Fletch plays the part of Dr Karl Kennedy and has been in the show since 1994. He was also a regular at the Monday Neighbours Trivia Nights and played with his talented band, Waiting Room.

The bus seen in the same location on a weekend trip in April 2010. Weekend Neighbours tours allow the passengers to visit the main backlot set comprising the fictional Lassiters Hotel and lake, The Waterhole pub and Harold's cafe amongst other sites familiar to the programme's fans.

The enjoyment that the shows fans get from meeting cast members is demonstrated here when I met Nell Feeney (aka Janelle Timmins) on a weekend Neighbours Tour in April 2010. With the 0691AC indisposed we had a Phillip Island tour bus and met Nell outside the Flinders Street office before the tour set off.
