I was in Perth from Sunday 2nd to Friday morning, my first visit in 2 years. My observations: Having flown up on Sunday afternoon, I thought I'd try out the Airport Line for the first time ever... man, what a slog that was! Monday 3rd : purchased a 2-zone ticket instead of an all-day one, thought ab...

Fascinating to read that old BPSWA newsletter, not only for Mandurah but for the Pope's visit to Perth in 1986 - did anyone here drive for that?

Meanwhile, look at all those places in the city & suburbs where you could pick up a timetable: I used to frequent the stand at the State Library quite often, back in the day

How much of that 975 route reversal is attributable to the people rising up against the removal of a long-time way for their bus to traverse, as opposed to "it's too difficult for the buses to enter onto Wanneroo Rd from Culloton Crescent"? The same difficulty is there with the old way aft...

There's usually a full extensive list of NYE bus services up by now, but it seems TP are too lazy to publish it in full this year... The announcement was buried in the regular "Access All Areas" announcement. Description of the additional services noted in the Service Changes thread Yeah ...

1442-1444 are in Busselton now.

Nah fam, I've seen 1443 in the last couple of days, so...


AS SOMEONE WHO LIVES HERE, I SHOULD BLOODY KNOW MATES!!!

Esperance is a tad wrong... we have 2107, 1443-44, 1455 & I'm not sure about the rest, but I deffo haven't seen those others you've mentioned... unless they're future buses?

My (initial) thoughts on the new changes: 1. Route 975 = high frequency service, which is good, but is there anything to gain from removing the Muswell & Treen streets section? 2. Route 950 (& stuff the 'X'): I know I'm rather obsessive over this one, given I lived in Inglewood for 11 years,...

1443 is (still) in Esperance...

Saw this one coming down through the town centre today, didn't take a photo; saw it parked up and snapped away!
Those with keener eyes than mine may be able to confirm that it still says sWAn Transit on the top right of the bus... ain't crazy for that colour scheme though.

Incorrect info for Esperance... 1442-44 have been here for a couple or so months - no pics to prove this, but they most deffo are here!!
2107 yes, 1440 yes (I think), can't speak for the 1450s though.

[EDIT: have seen 1453 a few times lately]

The new routes for the Yanchep extension still don't have timetables listed YET... apart from the 491/92... search function's like "no such number, no such phone!"
Mehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I was looking for the new Two Rocks timetable today on the website... the PDF still has the standard 490 services running on July 15th, while the 491/92 do show up, very curious indeed.

Hmmm yes, and no one's cottoned on to 1443 & 1444 now being located in Esperance yet, have they? And 1442* apparently, but I ain't see 'er yet.

*Declan knows...

1443 in Esperance!
- new transfer/allocation?

I've been catching up on my Transperth history on youtube lately... yeah, I know, and I call myself an "enthusiast"?? :lol: Anyhoo, Terry Mercer has some interesting videos, no doubt you all know of him & them; I was particularly interested in his story on the Ecobus back in the day. I...

I thought I was a pretty big enthusiast back in the day, but Transport of Perth's videos of the C-series on youtube kinda leave me in the dust! Kids & teens are PT enthusiasts - who knew!

Don't suppose Mr ToP is a member of this forum...?

It's not up on the TransRegional updates page yet, but there is a change for the last afternoon buses from Esperance to the suburbs, effective April 2: All 3 services will be departing 10 mins earlier, so 2.10, 2.18 & 2.20pm - one assumes this is so the 3 buses can get on to their respective sch...

Yo, can you send more new-old buses down Esperance way?? I'm rather sick of seeing the 1450s around the place (1440 & 2107 are kinda rare sightings for me, so yeah)

From the Esperance Weekender, Jan 25 (edited by me, with thoughts by me in bold ) Op shop visit a day out Nulsen residents who rely on the local bus service say a trip to the Esperance Care Services thrift shop in Chadwick is an outing of almost 6 hours. According to the TransEsperance timetable, a ...

A little bit after 11 this morning, the 811 to Castletown stopped along The Esplanade, to pick up a person in a wheelchair. The driver lowered the ramp but not the bus & the wheelchair in question wasn't electric, so the poor passenger had to wheel himself UP to get into a low-floor accessible b...

Rather ambitious, this one ^
- and what's so special about 2278-80 that they'd need to be used?
- August 2024 is too late for summer 2023 & too early for summer 2024, introduce it this coming January, I say!

I've been waiting for a very long time to see if anything could outperform the OG high frequency route 950 and ohhhh my goodness, the 907/908 & Perth-Vic Park train schedules leave 'er in the dust!

Even during the last school holidays & very wet weather, I've seen hardly anyone on those services... except for to/from Nulsen which, as I've stated before, is a lower socio-economic area, but even then it's 3-4 pax max, and generally from the same family; if I was a driver on the West Beach ro...
