Fleet Watch

Ah Fleet Watch, like on another forum seems like a good Subject Thread:

Anyway, as seen today; 102's New Heavy Rescue is back on the run at 102 Station sporting the new Yellow & Red Reflective markings.

43’s Scania is back on the run too. New LED’s, Flood Light Mast but still showing original White & Red marking

While we're on fleet watch....
I was at the workshops the other day and there were several new vehicles waiting to be delivered, 93 stns new heavy rescue, as well as a new heavy rescue for 503 stn.
Also there was two new USAR trucks that are marked up to go to 260 and 503 to replace the USAR "pods" that are currently being used. These new trucks are single axel rigid pantecs and are probably half the length of the semi trailer body on USAR 1(roughly the same as a new heavy hazmat). They look very flash and look a vast improvement on the current USAR vehicles currently being used in Newcastle and Wollongong.

Any one seen any new class 1 tankers at all we where told that we are getting one, but nothing to date

[AB]

Has anyone else heard that because the new tanker design was signed off after some new stations and refurbished stations that they are meant to be going to were finished, because the new tankers dont fit, now the new tankers will go to stations where the tankers arnt used alot and the old tankers which some are still in very good nick are going to the stations that were surpposed to get new one.
I only ask because we have been told aswell we might be getting a new one aswell because our tanker is stored in a huge shed out the back of the station so a new one will prolly fit.

We have a huge shed behind the station AB currently a the CFA build tanker sitting there not a bad truck and will certianly go anywhere, there just seems to be no flow of info about these trucks at all
