Welcome to July 2015

I'm not the moderator, but please place observations in the correct month, unless it is relevant to the observation in the previous month

spied 2161, 2163 & 2164 all within 5 minutes, near Mirrabooka BS late this afternoon.
must say 2164 is in need of a bath, must have missed its last scheduled wash...with no rear window, the muddy, dusty dirt really stands out

[Shoudy Chen]

Hopped on the TP1704 (Route 98) today and noticed that there was a lot of dirt all over the back of the bus. Inside the bus the dashboard system was terrible and need to be fixed asap.

[actually]

New B8 artics TP 3041 and TP 3044 delivered to Malaga yesterday 30/06/15. UQB 704 and 698 withdrawn.

BTW did idk i call obs or not bus yesterday my school finish earlier. at 12:30 and i saw 1581 doing 755 school to kingsway. the weird thing usually 755 is operated by Transdev bus yesterday 755 Operated by SWAn. is that because we finsihed earlier and transdev don't have avalaible bus at that time so SWAn changed

Good to know mate!

[sylar]

3043, 3045 and 3046 should have been delivered or very close to being delivered to their new homes.

[Merc & Renault Bus_1]

3045 is already delivered

[PoweredByCNG]

3043, 3046 delivered but NIS.

3045 has been in service for a while now.

Interesting one this morning, a bus that was clearly doing a 990T had a will you marry me message on the front and side destos with no route number, and had 670 on the rear desto.

[adx666]

Pathetic really, I like buses as much as anyone but would never want to marry one

[Merc & Renault Bus_1]

The marry message might be for a couple that is about to get married though

[adx666]

Meh

Hi All

Long time since a post

Been up in Kalgoorlie recently and have an update on the fleet. Missing OC's 1454 and 1456 have joined the TransGoldfields fleet.

I can confirm (yes i have photos to prove it) 1231 (TC4896), 1232 (TC4895) and 1233 (TC4897) now have their original TP plates back. No sign of any renaults around.

[sylar]

1856 Refurbished

Thanks C man, no way I will ever become a spazbook member so I appreciate each and every post made here

that includes me, too

Saw 2427 doing a 15F on Newcastle St on Monday, fairly sure this is a recent transfer.

Also with the opening of Beenyup last week, it's good to see the little 1800 SWB's out again at night, undertaking their intended original intended purpose - bouncing up and down the NSR on feeders. These were never out much after hours when they were at Karrinyup. Saw 1830 doing a 445 last Sat and followed an immaculate looking 1834 down Lilburne road on the 443 route late last night.

Great to hear from you Perthbus, not the same without you!

Yep I was on 2427 last Friday night while it was doing a 403F. Have all of Karrinyup's 'HN midis (1830 - 1845) been moved to Beenyup ?

Saw TP1697 doing route 101 this afternoon. I believed that 1695-99 have transferred from Midvale to Beckenham.
