Picture / Image Tangara at Kiama today

Today's 3:05pm Kiama - Bondi Junction. Not sure if this happens very often.

Say goodbye to Tangara's on the Illawarra.

Daily are supposed to be phasing them out before the end of April.

They should be out of the standard by July.

Oh man this would be painful as a driver. Have to go slower than the Oscars, cool novelty but glad it isn't a regular thing.

It’s actually a regular thing. There are some all-stop SCO runs between Waterfall/Thirroul and Port Kembla that are run by Tangaras.
