2356 ST — N023 — Wynyard (Carrington St) — Balmoral Beach 245 — 29/8/18
State Transit (North Sydney) Volvo B7RLE (ZF)/Custom Coaches CB80 2356 ST (2356) is seen sporting its special #statetransit85 "WWII Camouflage Colours" wrap on a rather wet and empty-looking Carrington Street, having just boarded the few passengers waiting at Stand A moments earlier, just before departing Wynyard to start an outbound route 245 to Balmoral Beach under run N023.
A big thank you to the driver who was thoughtful enough to keep the bus standing at Stand A after closing the doors and completing boarding to allow me to get photos - Without your generous thoughts that afternoon, I wouldn't have been able to make such a shot of 2356 possible!
