Was Path doing any rail replacement work today? 2313 ran down Wanneroo Rd not in service but displaying 906 on the desto - driver probably just forgot to switch his desto over. There was a technical issue on the northern line PTA probably ordered rail replacement but got services running back in ti...

I was in Perth September 21-Oct 1 and among my observations which will be of no surprise to any of you: :wink: 1. A LOT of artics running on the 950, even into the evening... and yes, I know it's because of the UWA extension... plus the occasional artic on the 67/68 & 48, if I recall correctly. 2. ...

It is definitely repairable - 2441 and 1850 were involved in an incident 3 years ago, both suffered more damage than 2033 yet both were returned to service. It depends on the extent of the damage and whether or not the insurer writes it off, having said that looks like nothing more than a new front...

2496 sighted on a 249 on church ave in Armadale this morning noticed a lot more Volvos on SR shifts not sure if covering for breakdowns or transferred

Looks like 2470 has joined 2448 at SR was working the Armadale PM peak

3200 & 3201 both showing up as registered anyone hazard a guess as to where they’ll end up

1597 visible from Corfield street, the entire front end has caved in looks to be quite extensive structural chassis damage my guess without speculating is it was accidentally reversed into

Is 2126 an Ellenbrook/Midland bus? was sighted running out of service along Gnangara road/Tonkin highway

2097 out and about today seen arriving at Kelmscott on a 244 are 2096/97 on loan or permanent transfer?

2096 spotted turning right onto Nicholson road on a 930 to Thornlie station pretty sure I got it on my dash cam

3007 has been rear ended by a white Toyota Corolla hatch on Albany highway/Denny Ave minor damage but will be off traffic for awhile, the Corolla’s definitely a write off.

Dynamic braking is standard on electric buses. Drivers have to be re-indoctrinated that it's actually OK to use the brake as much as possible rather than a retarder! Yes well aware not just BEV buses but cars too the single pedal operation will take some getting used to for the drivers you don’t re...

A few other factors that haven’t been taken into consideration the range varies on topography, climate and driving conditions Volvo offers three battery capacities 150, 200 and the beefy 250kW with the 12.0 metre model naturally of course driving in a hot summers or cold winters day with the aircon/...

Thought it may have been a website bug the TP live times no longer shows the railcar consist for that particular service

Was driving earlier and saw B set 074 passing through Welshpool road on a Perth bound Thornlie T service A B-set on a heritage line?

Maybe I should be more specific. Would the Airport Line be having its own colour code and timetable, making it the exact opposite of the Thornlie Line that shares the same colour code and timetable with the Armadale Line?
