Ideally, these forums shouldn't be cluttered up with speculative, pointless comments that don't add anything new or useful to the discussion.

While 2780 has been registered, pretty sure it hasn't been delivered yet. That said, I think 1566-68 were technically replaced already by 2776-2778, but the NHs are sticking around for a little bit longer.

2233

2975 and 2976 both entered service at Rockingham today, which should spell the end for the first two CR226Ls 1215 and 1216.

Are you sure it's returned to service? 1347 was withdrawn from service and has been doing COVID shuttle runs for months and months now Which others are on Covid shuttle duties other than 1347? It's pretty random, but 1346-1348, 1569-1571 have all been seen running them, along with random B7s (mostl...

Nothing that I know of.

Been a little while, so here's a current (as far as I know) list for mid-October 2020. Lots of little movements have been happening here and there since my last post so figured I'd just type up a new list. === Path Transit === Malaga: 104-108, 110, 111, 1399-1416, 1462, 1566-1568, 1724, 1855-1877, 2...

Bus Suggestions has given me a radical idea involving 23, 102, 103 and 970. Maps are at routes.one website. So I had a look out of curiosity, and honestly I don't really see the appeal of any of these. 102 - Do we really need more services running down the terrace? 103 - Not sure on this either, ge...

Today's rail replacement buses between Karakatta and Fremantle on the Fremantle Line as far as i know are: ... Anymore to add? Perhaps, perhaps not! *For future reference it would be much more helpful if you post your list in number order to make it easier for others to compare what they saw. But w...

4 has been a regular service bus for many years now

Bus-1809 wrote: ↑Thu Oct 08, 2020 10:20 pm A prime example of this, is its not uncommon to see a Dolphin on normal road running. Saw Dolphin 3 on a 549 a few Saturdays ago.

And yet, the person who's lived in Rockingham for a good few years is still yet to see any of the dolphins on anything but!

One day!

2974 delivered to Rockingham, spotto'd in the yard today

Yeah there's about another 50ish out in the country too, but withdrawals out there don't follow a consistent pattern like the Transperth ones do. I presumed we were talking about Perth ones, anyway.

Enviro 500 wrote: ↑Wed Oct 07, 2020 9:48 pm Anyway I believe the CR226s are due for retirement soon.

You'd be right, though there's only 30 NHs left so you could say they're pretty much all due for retirement soon.

I feel that the TP2974 will go to Transdev but which depot will it go to?

Rockingham.

Enviro 500 wrote: ↑Tue Oct 06, 2020 8:25 pm 2971 spotted earlier this evening on 511 in Winthrop (Freo-bound).

That's been in service for like six weeks now

But on the topic of new stuff, 3205 went out on its first day in traffic today

Bus Suggestions wrote: ↑Sun Oct 04, 2020 10:46 pm Thanks Mr OC Benz, I'll update the list.

522 and 583 are two others that no longer exist, but that's all I could find other than what's already been mentioned.

Bit of a different observation to what I usually post, but there are currently four Merc O500/BCIs belonging to Crown Coaches (VIC) parked up on Freo wharf. They all still have Victorian plates fitted but I couldn't make out any regos unfortunately. Long way from home!

From the look of things, it would appear that Midis will no longer be in production. For the time being, perhaps. Who knows what the future holds. Even SR stopped accepting Midis after losing 3 of them in accidents. What do accidents have to do with anything? 1593 was written off in 2013, and 1597/...

Freo's 2273 spotto'd on the back fence of Mandurah Depot this afternoon, presumably a permanent transfer to kill off 1212 2972 recently registered. Is it gonna be based at Freo? Yeah, 2972 to Freo, which displaced 2273 to Mandurah, which killed 1212 1210-1212 were technically Freo buses anyway so m...

2038 is back from refurb, I assume 2036 and 37 have returned as well. This leaves 2039 as the last bus I believe in the 1999-2010 livery, although I believe it should be away now. Yeah there's usually 4-6 OCs away being refurbished at any one time. 1990 I think is the only non-Swan OC away right no...
