Translink Branding

@Beerwatcher

I imagine the two ex-surfside units will be repainted into the new Translink blue and pink some time soon, however in the meantime there will be 5 different colour schemes operating under the Translink banner on the Sunshine Coast which I feel is starting to get confusing for some, especially with the buses that are kinetic branded and bright yellow.

IIRC those were two of the oldest buses in the Kinetic Gold Coast’s fleet. I’d suspect they were transferred to Kinetic Sunshine Coast (Caloundra depot) to live out it’s final years before they are eventually withdrawn from service as more electrics arrive.

That 2000th Volgren went to KBL and is now running in Moreton Bay area. The blue is really growing on me, complements the optimus bodies nicely I think.

That’s alright. Translink flogged their logo from USDOT and recoloured it (or should that be recolored?)

Was down on the Gold Coast yesterday and saw a CDi in the new livery:

Additionally have seen online that 16 new TMR buses (Blue livery) have entered service at the council’s Sherwood depot this week.

Interesting that the Qld Gov branding has been applied to the top replacing the Kinetic logo.

Yeah I don’t really like how the logo looks up there.

Kinetic Surfside has been hard at work slowly painting buses with the new livery, mostly focusing on Molendinar units.

Kinetic has been sold anyway to TPG.
