I use to live in a town called lowood in Queensland And minden bus service had one of these I think it was a B7R but I can't rember in was onluy uesed on School runs
I assume you mean route services? Interesting to note, unfortunately I haven't seen high floors on many route services in Newcastle more recently. I did a bus review out in Singleton when I first moved to Newcastle and I was lucky to get one of the O405NH's. ruclips.net/video/NQheVfwhiNU/видео.html
There's actually one other route that HVB does that utilises the SC222 (usually the OH1830L). This is the 185 between Gresford and Maitland via Paterson (but I would imagine it's got school kids too). Otherwise I think some of the 180s may still use a high floor, such as those OH1830Ls with a bullbar!
That is correct, there is a twice a day 185 service that runs with High-Floors, one morning and one evening, morning one performs a school bus run after after it has finished the 185 and the afternoon one I believe runs the school run first and then does another one up to Gresford. 180's no longer use High-floors for service runs since the arrival of the former Stationlink buses (The B7RLE Volgren Optimuses)
@@CR228L makes sense, I'd imagine the only reason they use the high floors is to carry more students on that 1 bus as opposed to 2 buses, since the SC222s have 57 seats and a low floor have only 43-47
Wow! That Bustech looks so shiny and new at 0:34. :)
It was in good shape, but that XDi, m/o 9478 is almost 10 years old! Most Port Stephens Coaches vehicles that I've caught have been in good shape.
Wow! Would never have known that it was 10 yrs old. They must maintain and clean their buses very well. :)
2:59, that genuinely scared me

The Volgren SC222 body is pretty popular for school runs, but rare in route service, so that wouldn't suprise me.
I've ridden these in the past with a city bus body in Shanghai.
Cool! Interesting to hear of more modern high floor chassis in route service.
@@TalkingPlanning that was 10 years ago though. They got replaced by B7RLEs and B9Ls, which themselves are currently being replaced by electric buses.
Hunter Valley Buses in Singleton have used a few of them for root services about 5-8 years ago

Unfortunately I didn't get the chance to venture out that way during the week, but that's pretty cool to know!
