5123 is definitely in service I just saw leaving underground with 4074 and I don’t know if it’s been mentioned but 347 is also back in service it’s doing the 17:12 C pattern to Armadale

47 has been back in service for about 2wks now following repairs and refurb (minor refurb) I think 19 will have minor refurb while getting repaired

Okay thank you C man I’m guessing that you must work for the Transperth or something you seem to know a lot, when does the next B class is due to be delivered? I was planning to drive over to Midland if it’s during the holidays

Is it really that hard to check previous posts? You do realise that you yourself posted it not two weeks ago right?

Hey squiddy. Do you know if these we’re replacing anything or additional buses?

I believe that they're additional buses

1961 is back from refurb

B-set 123 is now in service (Not 100% sure if it was in service before, but it definitely is now)

by **Zidanehartono** » Fri Dec 28, 2018 7:39 pm

Retired TP1307 was spotted parking at Fremantle Port alongside with a Ex-Brisbane Austral-Denning Metroliner that might've been used for the fire testing at Perth Busport.
