Is that one of the last acco pumps they bought (mid 90's) that was based in the country? ie like Bunbury's that was replaced last year with the UPHR. Do city pumps have bull bars? I'm assuming its used now as a summer spare, like the 2 series 3 MP'S at the rear of Welshpool station.

I can remember the days when the GPA first came to the metro area and the perm's said that they would never operate them as they were a 'volley trolley'. I can even remember when Success first came on-line, they had a GPA as a stand by for a while before getting a Scania too and did they complain! It's good to see that finally a fire truck is a fire truck regardless of who is operating them.
