Tranzit Coachlines No. 550 1981 Volvo B58 in Foxton 25/5/2016
Last photoed in Foxton at the Foxton Mobil site on SH1 on 9 March 2016, the 1981 Volvo B58 75 seater "bendy" imported from Australia in 2006 - was No. 1367 at the Lonsdale depot in Adelaide - and registered DHD796 in May 2006, captured parked up in Wharf St. on Wednesday, 25 May 2016.
It arrived in Auckland in early February 2006 where I understand it acquired fleet number 1371 before eventually going to Okato Bus Lines where it was used on schools and found excellent for this purpose.
After Tranzit acquired Okato, it finished up in Palmerston North.
The bus is used to shuttle supporters from Massey University and the city to home games at Arena Manawatu and taken to schools or when the Turbos football team are working around the province.
It was born out of an idea by Manawatu Rugby Union commercial manager Jason Burton-Brown and the bus owner, Tranzit Coachlines.
Suspect it may now have been acquired by a private buyer.
