[Jan/Feb 2021] SA Transport observations

[Eurostar]

1318 was used as a changeover yesterday. It will be back at P within a day or two.

Saw it on a 224F to Elizabeth yesterday afternoon

[Former driver37]

Just noticed 257 Man NL202 at Marion shops all NL202's have the exhaust coming from the top of the roof with a nice chrome tip just seen 257 without the top exhaust guessing the exhaust system has been reworked has anybody else noticed this or has this just been done as i came back on road yesterday?

[TT]

257 has only just returned to service after being rear-ended by another NL202 diesel on Churchill Rd in early December. Quite possibly the exhaust has been modified as part of the repairs needed from the accident.

The other bus involved was Edinburgh North NL202 233 which had significant front end damage, and is still off the road.

1318 is now back at Port.
1121 and 1122 have been relocated to Port, with 1001 and 1002 having left, I’m assuming both to St Agnes.

[jibb]

2 new Scania Bustechs have entered service today-1093-1094.

[Lt. Commander Data]

Ex-3270 was seen on a Charter today, first time it’s been used since retirement from metro service in November

At least 3 MAN SL202's have been towed from Morphettville Depot in the last few days to Sims Metal at Wingfield.

Hanover Orange Desto
M.A.N NL202 245 is on North-South work again today it was on a Morphettville shift on Thursday must be still at Morphettville, it’s currently on a 208 on the down to Paradise.

[jibb]

It would appear that Torrens Transit MAN NL 202 1354 and 1356 have been withdrawn from service

[jibb]

Bustech have comnenced bodying Artic buses.
I assume that some will be for Adelaide Metro,seeing as Custom have stop building Artic bodies.

[BusFan23]

I don't think that Custom have stopped building artic bodies as they offer the Endeavour in an 18m articulated body config

[jibb]

MAN SL 202 889(withdrawn) sighted being driven along Brighton and Oaklands Roads today.

[Crispy!]

It would appear that Torrens Transit MAN NL 202 1354 and 1356 have been withdrawn from service

I was on 1357 today, so it could be my last trip with an ex Darwin NL.

Last minute or urgent night full line closures - Outer harbour and Grange lines from 1st March through into April.

Nothing on adelaide metro website (yet) but Bustitute timetable posted at ARC around Platform 7-9.

(Is there a disconnect between KD and Adelaidemetro already?)

Side note - no PSA's visible on the train system tonight, just Wilson Security... has that night role been scrapped or positions yet to be filled?

A couple of Saturdays ago I was on a Belair service which had one PSA per carriage (total of 2).
