Negative. They're going out of sequence. 1414 on 39F this arvo

All 4 artics now reported to be in Perth at one of Kelsian's operations.

We have a Bova with an Allison at work. Goes like a rocket and sounds awesome! So definitely able to be done!

The MP3 Bell is a Brisbane Transport thing.

What about the ACTION "Siren"?

Went on 10 Bus routes today and these were the bus fleet numbers i was on 2158 - 442 2953 - 387 2451 - 990 3219 - 421 2540 - 403 2142 - BLUE CAT PERTH 2958 - 460 2943 - BLUE CAT JOONDALUP 2277 - 467 2547 - 442 Why was a Karrinyup Bus 2277 on a route 467 today from Joondalup to Whitfords and also wh...

Neither CAT 9 or CAT 10 are able to be started or driven.

CNG at was shut down in early October and remaining buses transferred to Bayswater. WPDEP gained back what was originally theirs...

The Canning Vale Swan Depot site has come up for sale, the sign out the front mentions it's leased until 2025. Depending on what the new owners want to do with it, Swan might have to move elsewhere, assuming Swan themselves don't put in an offer to purchase the site. I'm surprised they don't own it...

All of the 13xx and 14xx that were at Malaga have returned to Welshpool in swap for the B7's they gave them some time ago, as well as numerous 239x's and 273x's + 274x's that resided at Bayswater, I'm led to believe. On another Transport related note, 1Iaa-nnn Normal Series Registration Plates have ...

Malaga opened with CNG Trickle Fuel facilities in 1986

That's a self-declared name that I gave for 2787.

Some of us used to call 747 "Jumbo" and 737 "Jumbo Jr.", so I think those names for 2787 and 2380 are more than acceptable

Hmm, which Midis are retiring? 18** or CAT-spec? Both... On another note, 3383 has a new type of Transmission, which apparently will be fitted to subsequent deliveries for the time being. This is all the information I have, so not sure what Transmission, just been told that it's different to what's...

Cheers!

Definitely out this way. Saw it on a 518T this arvo

Random working of the month goes to 2248 which is about to run a 245T!

Firstly, an observation - noted 1227 and 1827 on Thursday at Warwick, on driver training, though both displayed service destos (1227 displaying 448, 1827 displaying 441)... And secondly, just so we don't look harsh, HL7619 , I'll answer your questions/comments... Not a notable or unusual observatio...

The louder the better!! Go listen to a TransAdelaide MAN SL200 or Volvo B58 if you want properly loud

3001 back in traffic after a long stint off traffic

Thought I had the scoop on 4002!

4002 is on loan to Transdev at CATS for the next 2 weeks for evaluation on the CATS Routes.

Plenty if anyone who bothers to read this forum is old enough to know what buses before the Volvo's were...

Fire: 478, 542, 669, 1802

Accident: 366, 513, 562, 691, 1099 etc...

The BCI was WCBC37 - 1GGN664 and the Scania was WCBC9 - 1HEO886

If 376 could be so easily moved to Joondalup package from Morley, there's no reason why 72 and 75 can't be swapped for 940. It makes a lot more sense for CVDEP to operate the 75 as it originates from there. God, can you stop harping on about how the 72/75 'should' be operated by CV? If you feel so ...

Transperth (the operator in that non existant place west of Adelaide) introduced 4x Volvo BZL Electric Buses with Volgren Bodies into service. I believe these were the first 4 BZL's in the country to enter service

First up for the year, Mandurah's 2231 seen on the circle today. Is this one a recent refurb?

8xx's aren't permitted on town runs so may be up for pits or servicing etc...

2231 on a Circle earlier this arvo

Interesting to note the normal sunday timetable on NYD too! Previous years have seen Trains at a 30 min frequency throughout the day
