Bus Location

Eastbourne Bus Co Leyland Comet 18. Photo:Graeme Bennett

This page list the last known location of many buses and coaches. An attempt will be made to capture all the major fleets vehicles purchased from 1975 onwards. Some older vehicles may be found but there is no intention to be comprehensive for earlier periods. As each bus takes approximately 30 minutes to research, and enter data it will take some time to realise this ambition.

Photos of buses for this page are also welcomed

Please remember that you are one of the army of tireless detectives that keeps tabs on these buses. If one of them is withdrawn from service or moves to a new operator please email mbutler@ihug.co.nz
