Re: [Jan/Feb 2017] SA Transport observations
Can't see it being a well used service. Maybe she's just trying for her 2 mins of fame.

Well she's already done more in a few months than Jamie Briggs ever achieved. Public opinion of her is much higher as well. She may as well try and do something, and in fact she has been trying a lot of things, including campaigning for a 24 hour Doctor at Mt Barker hospital. She is a very community minded MP compared to Mr Briggs, other MPs would do well to take a leaf or two out of her book. Although obviously she has the advantage of being independent.
First person on 822, 865 (2016 re-route).

X buses also don't have timing points after D2 in KWS either.howlerbus wrote:The 722X technically doesn't have to use South Road as it wouldn't be missing any stops, maybe it got a good run on another road?Hawkeye wrote:I have a feeling that's a glitch, there is no way ANY South Rd buses were running early. Put it this way, express buses were late as they were stuck getting into the city on the run beforehand..

Re: [Jan/Feb 2017] SA Transport observations
That is why I said the express buses (721X, 722X, 723X, T721X) were using Goodwood Rd, in an earlier post. Non-express services had to cover all remaining stops on South Rd, while express services did not.howlerbus wrote:Hawkeye wrote:The 722X technically doesnt have to use South Road as it wouldnt be missing any stops, maybe it got a good run on another road?

Re: [Jan/Feb 2017] SA Transport observations
More than likely the replacement for 443, which seems to have spent the last month or so out of service.

Adelaide's first Optimus has now received it's signage/admet stickers etc, and has been numbered 2451. One can only presume it's going to be entering service from down south shortly

Re: [Jan/Feb 2017] SA Transport observations
In other news, TT's 1319 has reappeared out on the roads after a considerable number of months without seeing a single journey!
Re: [Jan/Feb 2017] SA Transport observations
I was told today that it is repairable-LCB can't afford to lose any O-Bahn buses-it is already another one down-1143 is awaiting a new engine at Morphettville Depot(has been off the road for almost 3 months now).busrider wrote:1140 bus caught fire on West Tce today, looks terminal but as always, we'll have to wait and see...

Could they restore 441's guide wheels so it can be used if there are no other options?jibb wrote:I was told today that it is repairable-LCB can't afford to lose any O-Bahn buses-it is already another one down-1143 is awaiting a new engine at Morphettville Depot(has been off the road for almost 3 months now).busrider wrote:1140 bus caught fire on West Tce today, looks terminal but as always, we'll have to wait and see...

Re: [Jan/Feb 2017] SA Transport observations
443 had hers until engine problems a few weeks ago-it has been odd road since,doubt if you will see it on the O-Bahn again,if it all!
1826 could be headed for O-Bahn soon now it has dome light.
Maybe Transport department could transfer Torrens Transit(ex O-Bahn Artic) 1015 to LCB St Agnes depot to cover absence of 1140?

Re: [Jan/Feb 2017] SA Transport observations
Yes-it seems to change daily,rather than a dedicated fleet of Artics and rigids.
Re: [Jan/Feb 2017] SA Transport observations
2 Light-City buses that have been out of service at Morphettville Depot for a considerable period of time returned to service in the last couple of days-MAN NL 202 757 and MAN NL232 781.

Re: [Jan/Feb 2017] SA Transport observations
What's the deal with the supposed timetable changes on the AdMet website? There's a mention of timetable changes on the 29 of January 2017, yet the PDF attached to the link is dated 25/01/16.
Something's not quite right....
Also, it's strange that the Main North Road services are being changed to serve stop Z1 instead of Z2. I think these services have used this stop since the 1990s, haven't they?

Re: [Jan/Feb 2017] SA Transport observations
There is an explanation on the Adelaide Metro website-firstly the lists of timetables is shown at the top of the page regarding the changes.Secondly it explains that to find the timetables affected you look at the version number which when you compare with last years Public Transport timetables will reveal those that are different in 2017.TA3001 wrote:What's the deal with the supposed timetable changes on the AdMet website?

Refer to 2017 January timetable changes section of this forum where there are ample explanations,as well as a list compiled by Lt.Commander Data of those timetables changed.
Re: [Jan/Feb 2017] SA Transport observations
Adelaide Metro real-time arrivals/Transit Times app was not working yesterday,nor so far this morning-maybe something to do with timetable/stop changes locations?

Re: [Jan/Feb 2017] SA Transport observations
I managed to get real-time info on all runs departing Stop B2 Pulteney Street for a full 30-minute period when I checked half an hour ago. Otherwise, TransitTimes does seem to have been useless since yesterday.jibb wrote:Adelaide Metro real-time arrivals/Transit Times app was not working yesterday,nor so far this morning-maybe something to do with timetable/stop changes locations?

Re: [Jan/Feb 2017] SA Transport observations
No, something's not right when the only real-time info for routes servicing Stop A3 King William Road is a 98C.Hawkeye wrote:TransitTimes was working fine for me just 20min ago, maybe a problem on your end?jibb wrote:Adelaide Metro real-time arrivals/Transit Times app was not working yesterday,nor so far this morning-maybe something to do with timetable/stop changes locations?
