Thanks mate, yeah 11481 is def my fav truck.

Thanks mate! Glad you enjoyed, Yeah I’m really lucky and privileged to have suck a cool and rare truck still running around, it might not have too much time left so gotta make the most of it while it’s still around. Bin lines are common in this area and a real pain. Haha towards the end it was really struggling, I cut most of it out, but there were parts it was packing for 5+ mins, had to put the body up a few times as well, this truck has always gets it done, Ryan really pushes it to its limit.. now if only he would clean the bloody thing! 😂 Thanks for the comment.

Cheers mate

The LEV style cab was banned Australia-wide in 2019-20, due to OH&S Standards (and people rolling them..) All existing LEVs were to be scrapped. Management wanted Citywide to get rid of the 4 LEVs that were on a single axle configuration first. Our first 2x Dennis 35ms were ordered and came in 2018 (as a replacement for the 2x LEV single axle 20ms, that left in early 2019, prior to the ban) the remaining 3-5 LEVs, were replaced by 3 2019 Dennis 22ms, with a further 2 arriving in 2020. We also have a 29m Dennis (were supposed to receive 3 but who knows where they are...) At the same time, our contract was extended to 2025, and to save money; 3x Flat faced accos were given a refurb, with new facelift features. 2 remained as flat faced and a further 2 LEVs still run under Citywide (one 22m, one 29m) the replacement trucks - the dennis' 29ms motioned above, never arrived and these 2 LEVs will be running to the end of the contract. They are the last 2 SL LEVs left in Australia. We do have a 3rd LEV (another 22m, #11483, but that sits at the back of the depot and is no longer used) I am led to believe there is a few E3 & 4 LEV RLs still getting around Aus.

Pretty sure they do, not too many councils use them however.
