The bus chassis range introduced to Australia under the ‘Metrotech’ name passed to Iveco when the Dandenong 

factory was acquired from International Harvester. The low-floor chassis is sold as the Metro and this particular 

example has bodywork by Express Coach Builders of Macksville, NSW. It is 3 (AO 0790) of Gippsland Bus

General 

This operator has taken over the operating contract for Bourg-en-Bresse urban service from TUB (q.v.). Publicity 

indicates that 30 vehicles were operated at the time of takeover, although 32 are currently recorded (PR100.2 

150/2-4/6/9-61/4/5, GX117 270-2, R312 345/8/9/55/7/8 and Agora S 462/3/6-9/73-7/80/1), plus the preserved 

Berliet 13. The TUB fleet numbering system used the first digit to indicate the vehicle type, with the second two 

running sequentially, so it seems that there should also be two vehicles numbered x78/9, delivered before the last 

two Agora S.

A current fleet list for this operator was published in 756-OJ-16 and -17, and has since been updated as 

information has become available. Thanks to Réseaux Urbains, a complete fleet history is available, and the 

opportunity is being taken to present details of all vehicles owned since 1966, when the first town services ran in 

Bourg. The operator in those days was Société des Établissements Bernard, which became SETUB in 1984.

Fleet numbers: 513/5/8/27 QGV 75, 639 QGZ 75 are 861-5, order not known 

Vehicles withdrawn: -/04 714/5 (VH A508 - last of type) 

10/06 5970, 6434 (R312/B28D) 

8324 (Agora Line - first to go) 

11/06 1052 (GX317 - accident damage) 

Disposals: 5970, 6434, 8324 Burnt out maliciously (25, 27 and 25/10/06 respectively), and 

presumed scrapped. 

General 

925 is listed as a Carrier Sampler. No other details are known. 

A fresh round of rioting took place at the end of October. Several other RATP vehicles were attacked, but their 

drivers managed to rescue the buses and any damage has since been repaired. 

The stock of R312 had dropped to 917 by the end of 2006, so nearly 600 have now been withdrawn. 

Unfortunately details of 'normal' withdrawals are not being published, and most sales seem to be to third-world 

countries rather than to French operators, so it would help if members would send any sightings from Paris to 

give us an idea of what is still around.

Withdrawal: by 9/06 908 (prototype R312, ex-STGA, Angoulême) 

General: 

Rt S53R 312/4, 579/96, at least, were still owned 6/06. 

The 9xx vehicles are all operated on Amiens urban services subcontracted by the local authority, and wear the 

white and yellow Ametis livery. 919 was not included in a list of contracted vehicles published in Réseaux 

Urbains, supposedly correct to 9/06, but has been identified from photographs and is unlikely to have been 

withdrawn. 925 was also not on the Réseaux Urbains list but had been noted by your sub-editor the previous 

month. 971-4 may be further GX187, though Réseaux Urbains gave ten numbers (970-9) for nine GX187, and 

one of them (970) turned out to be a PR180! Reports would be appreciated from anyone passing through 

Amiens on the way south from the Tunnel.

Rome Tour Operators 

Rome has seen an explosion in open-top sightseeing tours in the past few years. Six operators now vie for 

business but all seem to be doing well and expanding. Here we try and bring the story up to date.

ITALY 810-OJ-161 ITALY 

Trambus Open S.p.A. 

Trambus S.p.A. was formed to take over the operational side of the trams and buses of ATAC, the Roman public 

transport authority. ATAC still exists as the overall public transport co-ordinator for Rome. Trambus Open is a 

joint venture (60/40) between Trambus and Les Cars Rouges of Paris, with three services in the city; 110open, 

the main open-top route aimed at tourists; Roma Cristiana, an open-top route specialising in the city’s Christian 

heritage; and Archeobus, with open-top single-deckers, visiting its earlier history. For a while Les Cars Rouges 

loaned vehicles from its Paris operation, still with French registrations, but these have all since left Rome.

365-7: returned to Le Cars Rouge, Paris c9/05. 

Notes 

General: The chassis plates of the Ibs 491.10.29 give the chassis type as ‘491/2P/DA’. It is the chassis-only 

version of the CityClass model, built in Spain and optimised for a double-deck body. 

35/6: These was new as two of a batch of 8 similar coaches delivered to ATAC in 1997 as 1863-70 for tour 

work, including the pre-open-top 110 route. 1867-9 passed to Trambus then were transferred to GiroTP, 

Bologna as 2/1/3 10/05. Trambus also have/had as tour buses 1840/1 Neoplan N122/3 from 1999 and 1851 

DAF SB4000 Dalla Via of 2004. 

1842-7: These are the Trambus fleetnumbers and it has been suggested that the full batch was 1842-9. 1842, 

the ‘trial bus’ for the venture, carried 372 in Rome for a time. It is known that Les Cars Rouges received 11 x 

Vo B7L EL, in two batches, 365-72 and 373-5.There is photographic evidence of 1846 (789 PQB 75) carrying 

that registration in Rome but equally clear evidence that Les Cars Rouge 370 carried 789 PDB 75 in Paris; 

these might be one and the same and if so, they are 00646 / 37303. If the similarities are a co-incidence than 

1846 is likely to be 01531 / 46303. We are still left with the need to confirm the registration of 1845 and to 

relate it and that of 1847 to the known list from Paris as neither have a match, as well as confirming that 

1848/9 were in Rome and if so, what their Les Cars Rouge identities were. In other words, help! For 

completeness, the other Paris vehicles are believed to be 368 (738 PCH 75) 000644 37301, 369 (745 PCH 

75) 000662 37306 & 371 (794 PDB 75) 000664 37308. A registration for 375 001531 46303 hasn’t been 

reported. 

T1-T3: these three and DD 927/92 DD, which don’t carry numbers, are used on the Archeobus tour. Previous 

vehicles on that tour have come from the main ATAC/Trambus fleet. Those known to have been used are 

1883 (AX 471 LW) MAN NM152 MAN B??D (one of 1871-84 second hand from Germany 1/98) and 4081 (BN 

858 VS) MB Sprinter Newcar. 

Green Line Tours S.p.A. 

This national sightseeing agency has introduced its ‘Open Tour’ tour in competition with Trambus Open, although 

there may be a link of some sort at operational level. A ‘Shuttle Tour’ also exists, using American-style ‘phoney 

trolleys’ on Iveco lorry chassis.

Cityrama Italia S.R.L. / Rome Opentour 

Cityrama initially ran a “Bus ‘n Boat Open Tour” using double-deck Neoplans from L’Open Tour of Paris (in which 

Cityrama’s French parent has a 50% share). These have since been replaced and a full sightseeing tour 

introduced. The tour was renamed Rome Opentour in the summer of 2006 but the actual operator is as yet 

unclear.

Appian Line 

Another contender in the crowded open-top scene is the ‘Ciao Roma’ tour of Appian Line. Vehicles carry lettering 

for both Appian Line and Carrinti Tours, the latter probably operating the vehicles on behalf of the former.

‘Original Rome Sightseeing’ 

Information on this outfit is proving difficult to obtain. The single vehicle known to be operated was one of two 

exported by Ensign, Purfleet (Q) 5/05 to a Mr Augonio of Rome who presumably is connected to the outfit, which 

has also been reported as ‘S.AU.RO.SL’, the name carried on the ‘Linea Gran Turismo’ permit in the windscreen. 

Unlike the competition, this is not a hop-on hop-off service but a circular tour from the Piazza Venezia.

Notes 

The other vehicle taken by Mr Augonio was Bl VRT ECW APT 811W. It has not been reported in service and by 

3/07 had passed to a Davide Manuli, location unknown. However, another Dominator, CN 206 TL, was noted 

in Rome 4/04 and is known to be current in Italy – is it here? And this operator may be the ‘Rome Tour, Roma’ 

that had CTF 626B 9/03 (780-OJ-64), though that one is now back in the UK. 

City Sightseeing 

This tour stated in 2004 as a joint venture between City Sightseeing and Terravision. In early 2006 City 

Sightseeing appeared to withdraw and the tour continued under the ‘City Trekker Rome’ name with the same two 

vehicles. In 4/07 City Sightseeing and another partner bought out Terravision and the two original vehicles (and 

one new one) regained City Sightseeing Roma lettering.

and to hear of the sightseeing operations elsewhere in Italy. 

Bologna 

One of the largest municipal operations in the country, Azienda Trasporti Consorziali (ATC) covers not just 

Bologna city itself but extends well into the adjoining countryside and takes in Imola. Around 1000 vehicles are 

operated from five main depots, Bologna Battindarno, Bologna Due Madonne, Bologna Ferrarese, Imola and 

Silla. There are three trolleybus routes, for which an order for Irisbus Civis has been placed to replace the earlier 

vehicles. ATC and Trambus Open jointly operate the GiroTP sightseeing service in the city though some of the 

fleet has been transferred to Rome (q.v.). Coverage begins with the GiroTP fleet and the trolleybuses.

General 

The two Temsa (72/3) were due to replace rare Gruau AG35 70/1: it is unclear whether this has taken place. 

508/9 were hired to work an experimental service 3, which required an extra three vehicles, but CAM did not wish 

to purchase new buses when the future of the line was uncertain. As it happened, the service ended on 27 

October and the hired buses are assumed to have returned to their owners.

SMRT Buses 4/07. 

General 

Operations ceased after service on 28/4/07, thus ending 32 years of City Shuttle operation. The company commenced 

operations in 1975 with a fleet of 60 minibuses serving the CBD, but changes to other services and the MRT have seen 

the routes dwindle since 2001, until only route 608 remained.

Corrections and additional information to PSV Circle publication WWK 1 Algoa Bus: 

page 12 It is confirmed that the registration marks given for 223 and 235 are the original marks. 

page 13 248 and 249 were originally PET 910 and 918 respectively. 

page 16 All of 291 to 329 were bodied by PET. 

(footnote) 7004635 originated as CT 827. 

page 18 331-389 were bodied by Tours & Services Ltd in Cape Town. 

(footnote re 378/9) : delete this footnote and substitute "There was a previous pair of vehicles with 

these fleet numbers which were renumbered 220/1 (see page 12). The details given above relate 

to 378/9 (ii)”. 

page 24 651 was PET 401 before becoming Bay 651.

page 32 1312 has chassis number 570318 and not as shown. 

1309 - 1314 became CT 2013-5/8/7/6 respectively. 

1321/4 were Greyhound (EBL) nos. 1049 (MHN 386T) and 1047 (MHN 445T) respectively when 

acquired by PET. The fleet numbers and registration marks originally quoted must have been 

supplanted by 1049/7 during their service with Greyhound.

SWEDEN 

Arriva entered the Swedish market in September 1997 when it acquired Unibus, the Danish operator, which 

controlled a small subsidiary in Sweden, Odakra Buss AB. Since then the company has expanded in the Skåne 

province, in the south-west opposite Denmark, with tender wins in places such as Helsingborg and Malmo. We 

commence coverage with recent deliveries and vehicles taken over with tender wins.

General 

Ellis, Tillmans Corner. Ms. Ellis was the partner of the guy who actually owned 470 FTT. As his name is not 

known to me, I record ownership after the ‘unknown car dealer, Mobile’, as shown above; during this time, I 

believe 470 FTT was kept on a lot off Broad St. in downtown Mobile, not at Tillmans Corner. After his untimely 

death, it was Ms. Ellis who arranged sale of 470 FTT to Beach Boy Trolley, Pensacola, FL, in July 2001. 

Marren, Mobile. Tom Marren was to operate a Big Bus franchise in Mobile (it was going to be the first Big Bus 

franchise operation in the USA). Unfortunately it never got off the ground and the two buses were disposed of 

as shown. 

WAVH Radio, Mobile. This radio station has seen two changes of ownership in recent years. DJX 351D, their 

Daimler Fleetline, has had transmission problems in recent years - in September 2003 it was at a garage 

awaiting attention, and I understand it has been to a couple of transmission specialists subsequently. However 

it has now disappeared completely; even the current staff at the radio station do not know where it is. 

They asked us to report its location if we came across it; unfortunately we did not find it. 

Zeke’s Landing Restaurant, Orange Beach. EGM 289C appears out of use now (3/07) having been towed in at 

some stage, and now abandoned in a corner of the parking area here.

General 

Arkansas Bus Exchange, Winter Garden. MCM 975 (Ld PD2/My) had returned from Universal City Studios, 

Orlando, by -/07, presumably at the end of its loan to the latter where it had been exhibited as a prop from the 

film “The Mummy Returns”. 

Churchill’s Pub, Miami. VVF 207 and GRU 975D are both still present (3/07) but have been repositioned within 

the car park since our visit in October 2003. Both are showing slightly more signs of wear & tear (vandalism) 

than before. 

Claypool, Bushnell. HVH 233 has the registration number ‘HVH 23’ at the rear; no number is carried at the front. 

Curt Claypool has considered converting HVH 233 into a food concession stand but to date no work has been 

done. Curt had monitored the bus when first at Bay Area Auction Services, Pinellas Park, so when it appeared 

there a second time, he eventually bought it. He understands (though not confirmed) that it may have been a 

tourist bus in Tarpon Springs, north of St Petersburg, at some stage in its past. And he mentioned to me that 

the bus had been used by the Scientology movement, thus confirming the identity of a bus whose picture had 

appeared on the internet at one stage recently. 

Crown Hotel, Inverness. There is no chance of SOU 3M (the replica LGOC “B-type” bus) re-appearing here. 

After being in administration (by 10/03), the building is now a residential home for the mentally disturbed. 

Gateway Bus Tours, Miami. I have been unable to establish where the 5 vehicles shown as “gone 8/05” above, 

have actually gone. The company claim they were sunk somewhere to form a reef for divers, etc., but would 

not tell me where; the towing company could not tell me where they were taken as they hadn’t time to go 

through their paperwork. And me? I think they may have been scrapped like the other two recorded above - 

the manager of Trademark Metals, Opa Locka, said to me that they had broken up about 15 double decker 

buses in the past year! 

Geenty, Daytona Beach. I’m still unable to trace Bob Geenty, and consequently AGX 517 (recovery vehicle 

based on London Transport STL175). There is a suggestion that Bob has returned to the UK – can any reader 

help to establish contact with him? 

McCarthy, Ormond Beach. CFC 357C and all the American coaches and school buses are still here in 3/07. The 

yard has been tidied up and now two ponies keep the grass short.


McGuire’s, Pensacola. Both FKG 977 and KGK 793 have been repainted into “Irish” green & cream and tidied up 

a bit; in the case of KGK 793 this has included the fitment of ‘double glazing’ style windows - afraid it spoils it 

somewhat but if it ensures its survival for a few more years, then it must be a good thing. FKG 977 is now 

positioned outside an additional McGuire’s restaurant at Destin, FL (by 3/07). 

Miami Double-Deck Tours, Miami. The yard has been cleared and the gates are now padlocked; all the buses 

are gone - in addition to the Bristol VRs, which I believe never did enter service, they also operated elderly 

American coaches. All that remains now on an adjacent plot, is the front roof dome which had been badly 

damaged on the o/s corner, and the o/s engine fairing from BNU 681G, and some bits of panelling from an 

American coach which, with plastic sheeting, etc., have been brought together to provide a ‘home’ for a homeless 

person. 

Miami Mambo Tours, Miami. NCK 980J was carrying a black-based overall wrap for “Paul van Dyk The Politics 

of Dancing 2” when observed in their yard in 3/07; not sure that it was currently licensed though. 

Miami Tours, Miami. The report of 52 JAL in Miami is based on information gleaned from subsequent owners in 

Pennsylvania. I should like to hear from anyone who can substantiate its operation in Miami in the 1980’s. 

Paul, Pensacola. 470 FTT is still owned, the conversion work being carried out rather slowly. 

Despite JWT 756V having all the right ‘attachments’ for chassis number SL3/2007, I am still not convinced that 

this is the correct identity of their VR, principally based on the fact that the body has features only introduced in 

later production and which the true JWT 756V never had (from photographic evidence). All tell-tale marks 

have been obliterated or removed, the seats would appear to have come from ex-Northern ECW-bodied 

Atlanteans (MBR 4xxT batch), and just one thing suggests it could be GGM 80 W, but nothing corroborates this 

so in my mind it must remain a mystery whilst investigation continues!! 

Ray’s Automotive, Ormond Beach. RTL807 (KYY 777) is still here (3/07), just as it was in October 2003. It is for 

sale and Ray hopes it finds a buyer; he can’t legitimately sell it for scrap or break it up as he does not have title 

for it, though he has now started the process to obtain title – a long process in America, it can take up to seven 

years. 

Westpointe Retirement Community, Pensacola. DWF 189V is still present (3/07) though it appears not to have 

been used for some time. 

-?-, Miami. Michael Overcash dba Great Knight Tours, Atlanta, GA, sold his Ld Atlantean RDS 571W, which 

carries HGD 872L plates, to a property company in New York who wanted it for an advertising campaign to sell 

properties in the Miami area. Michael himself delivered it to Miami in February 2004, but once the promotion 

was finished the bus was sold to Las Vegas, Nevada. 

-?-, St. Petersburg. The guy who had HVH 233 at this stage (c2002-4), was going to open a restaurant in downtown 

St Petersburg, and was going to use HVH 233 in connection with the venture (guest shuttle? Or just 

mobile billboard?, I’m not sure). The restaurant never got completed and HVH 233 was returned to Bay Area 

Auction Services, Pinellas Park, St Petersburg, from whence it had come. During this time however it did get 

repainted from yellow to red. 

Query: A “Mike’s Deli” in St. Petersburg advertised a Bristol FLF on e-Bay in June 2006 - this may have been 

AVX 956B one time with Cool MO’s Coffee, Tampa, though I have no confirmation that this is so.

General 

Goldberg, Baton Rouge. Josh Goldberg still has both VRs; though one was advertised on e-Bay at one stage it 

would appear it did not attract a buyer and Josh intends keeping it for the time being. 

The Caterie, Baton Rouge. GKA 524M is parked in the large public car park to the front of this club/restaurant; it 

appears to have been towed to this position. It has images of tigers on the sides and is lettered “Tigers”; the 

Tigers appear to have been the 2003 National Champions and the bus was painted in 2004 to reflect this. 

REGISTRATION NOTES 

Abu Dhabi (UAE) has introduced a fifth series of plates. These have 5 and Arabic text in white on a red band 

above a serial in black on reflective white. No Arabic letters are used at all. The single line version has the 5 in 

white on a red band at the left followed by the country name in Arabic and the serial, again in black on reflective 

white. At an auction in May a registration from this series with the single digit 5 was sold for £3.4 million! 

Denmark has announced that europlates will be introduced from 2008. It is also anticipated that the present 

series will be exhausted in 2009 and that they will then start again from AA, presumably omitting any registrations 

still in use. 

Lesotho has decided that once Maseru is exhausted the present series at AZ 9999 before much longer, then 

they will continue from A 10001 upwards. Leribe reached C9999 in 2000 and now issues marks from CA 001 

upwards. All other districts are still using the original single letter and four numerals series which has been used 

since 1979. The plates are blue on white. 

Michigan is the last US state to adopt reflective plates for general issue. The 1982 series of white on blue plates 

are, since January 2007, being replaced with blue on reflective white plates using three letters and four numerals 

from BAA 0000 upwards for passenger cars and CA 00000 upwards for commercials. MICHIGAN is in white on a 

blue band at the top and www.Michigan.gov at the bottom. An optional graphic plate in 1AA A23 format is also 

available, starting from 0HA A00 for passengers and G00 00A for commercials. 

Norway has introduced a new style of plate which has a blue band to the left or upper left. This has the national 

flag above the letter N. There has also been a change in the style of the characters. These plates are being 

used for most categories of vehicles. 

In the Caribbean, Sint Eustatius has introduced very colourful graphic plates with a blue base and two fishes 

against a reef to the left. ST. EUSTATIUS is at the top and THE HISTORIC GEM at the bottom, both in white. 

The registration, in white, consists of an alphabetic code and a serial from 1 upwards with the island crest as a 

separator. Private cars use the prefix E and buses the letter B. 

In South Africa, Northwest Province now has graphic personalised plates with the letters NW as a suffix. 

Northern Province has been renamed Limpopo and, reflecting the change, the suffix L has replaced N. Both 

normal and personalised plates have been seen with the L suffix. 

Zimbabwe has started to issue a new series of plates, presumbably only for new vehicles or on change of 

ownership. In black on reflective yellow they have three letters and four numerals, from AAA 0001 upwards, with 

the national crest in the space between them. Similar plates in red on white are for commercial vehicles. What 

appears to be a personalised plate with eight letters has been observed together with diplomatic plates still in the 

same format, but on the new style of plates.
