Bus 113 was a Renault PR100.3a
Notes
- Bus 113 was loaned to Brisbane Transport from 1 September 1994 until March 1995 as an evaluation vehicle. (Registration [Qld] 999-COQ, Fleet Number 997). The front was painted into BT livery, with the rest of the vehicle maintaining ACTION Livery.
- Following its loan to Brisbane, this vehicle was modified by Austral Denning to be a prototype "easy access" bus. Its front steps were removed and a Bode electric ramp was installed for wheelchair access; the seating was rearranged to accommodate two wheelchairs and kneeling suspension was installed.
- It was designated as a "PR100.3a" due to the modifications to make it an accessible bus.
- Buses 126 to 131 were later built and delivered as accessible buses and were also designated as PR100.3a, however these were fitted with plug doors and a Tieman electric ramp. They also had a different seating layout.
- Bus 113 was later modified to remove the wheelchair spaces and access ramp, however the kneeling suspension remained.
- It was originally fitted with trial Hanover flipdot destination signs, but they were subsequently changed to Alcatel/STC Cannon.
- This bus was fitted with a Sportworks DL2 bike rack in November 2010.
- From December 2016, Bus 113 was the only Renault PR100.3a in service.
- In February 2017, the Alcatel/STC Cannon flip-dot destination signs were replaced with Hanover LED equipment.
