Re: [May/June 2020] SA Transport observations
Not just O-Bahn buses, other Torrens buses have had that too. The desto for "NOT IN SERVICE" is now in caps as well, like the SouthLink version of it.
Re: [May/June 2020] SA Transport observations
Southlink probably had it that way by accident. Can't see them having given it that much thought tbh.

Re: [May/June 2020] SA Transport observations
I think it’s only St Agnes buses that have been updated at this stage. I’ve heard that St Agnes doing some outer North work as part of their shifts from 5 July. Noticed St Ag buses with “Not in Service” in capitals and scrolling left to right on rear destinations today.

Spotted it on some Morphettville buses too, including the new Bustechs

Torrens Transit have some new Hino Poncho mini buses being prepared for service. Possibly for Outer North services?

I wonder if we will see an open day~ CONSTRUCTION UPDATE ~ ⠀
The Gawler East Link Road is due to open up to traffic in August!
This exciting new connection from Main North Road bypasses central Gawler, and connects to Calton Road via the Springwood Village Centre.
Next station is Victoria Square. Change here for all trains.

Re: [May/June 2020] SA Transport observations
Over the weekend all Mile End buses have had their destos updated to include all outer North routes, with the destination suburb now being in capitals.
Re: [May/June 2020] SA Transport observations
I noticed most buses leaving St Agnes Depot this morning has "TT JULY 2020" or similar on the desto

That’s to show that the bus desto has been updated to the Torrens July 2020 version.

Re: [May/June 2020] SA Transport observations
The J1X service now permanently withdrawn, and that’s probably not a bad thing. 1790 will be leaving Torrens Transit.

Re: [May/June 2019] SA Transport observations
Turbo diesel engines share common problems like the build up of soot in the inlet manifold which is created by the exhaust gas recirculation coming out the exhaust in through the exhaust gas recirculation valve in a inlet manifold where it mixes with crank case oil out of the sump and then it forms a soot on the inlet manifold which restricts power to the engine.

I'd love to see an Adelaide 1950's Worldmaster or Regal IV and a 1970's Swift or B59 photo shopped into that livery.
NSW, the state that embraces mediocrity.
