[Tirano]

Dear all,
please find below a fleet list from formal ESG, today's Linz Linien.
The continuance from some busses is unknown, as you can see from the list, but I know, that most of them were sold to formal Yugoslavia.
It would be very great, if somebody could give me new informations about the continuance of these busses or could mail me photos of any busses from the list. I could also mail you photos of them from there time in Linz for your own private, non commercial use. If you have questions about public transport in Austria, let me try to assist you.
Thanks a lot for your kindly help.
Please reply in english or german, tell me your emailadress, if you like to get sent photos.
