Historic buses: Australian Bus + Coach Show

The Australian Bus + Coach Show in Sydney hosted not only many brand new products, but some great historic buses as well. Paul Aldridge and Steve Skinner had their cameras clicking.

There were some eye-catching new double-deckers on show in Sydney, including the MAN-Gemilang double decker we featured on the front cover of the September issue of ABC; the BCI Citirider we’ll be test driving soon; and one of the big Bustech CDIs that runs between Melbourne’s CBD and airport.

There were also some eye-grabbing vintage double-deckers, a couple of which took visitors for rides around the Olympic Park precinct.

Here are some snaps of not only the tall old trundlers but the other memory-evoking conveyances as well, with all the veteran buses supplied by the Sydney Bus Museum.
