Come on, Westbus must be improving, judging by the crappy old busses they're
sending to Maitland after their takeover of Blue Ribbon.  I don't think I've
seen a Westbus bus here that would be less than 15 years old.  In the
meantime, the number of newer Blue Ribbon busses around here seems to be
shrinking fairly quickly.  Any sightings in Sydney?
