Re: (May/June 2021) Transport observations
Noticing quite a few of the new bus stops going up around the place now. Noticed over the weekend bus stop 50A and 51A Milne Road (203/209) section had been replaced but the new stops were 50 and 51 with the O-Bahn sign on them, so I think they were meant for Stop 50 and 51 Milne Road (506 section). I’m sure it will be sorted just hopefully nobody unfamiliar with the area gets confused!

I did see 1096 parked at Stop 40A Beovich Road with hazards on and was running about 60 mins late going by Next There App but it may have been a different bus

No sign tonight of 1096-will keep an eye out for it over next few days. I use Anytrip which most of the time is very good.
"Next there" is not available on Android?
Re: (May/June 2021) Transport observations
NextThere is iOS only. It's one of the more consumer friendly ones. I use it for everyday and use AnyTrip for nerding out
Re: (May/June 2021) Transport observations
Scania Bustech 5004 has entered service this morning.
Re: (May/June 2021) Transport observations
MAN NL202 253 has been renumbered to R253.
Re: (May/June 2021) Transport observations
I fail too see why a number of buses are having the letter "R" in front of fleet number?
These buses don't just do rail subs,they do all runs.
What is t1he purpose?

Re: (May/June 2021) Transport observations
Latest Scania Bustech 5005 has entered service a short time ago on Route 200 from Marion Shopping Centre.
Re: (May/June 2021) Transport observations
Scania Bustech 5006 has just entered service.
Still no sign of Scania Electric bus 1788?

Re: (May/June 2021) Transport observations
The R stands for Ready for scrapping or Ready for preservation once they've finished using them to be pretend trains.
Re: (May/June 2021) Transport observations
Re: (May/June 2021) Transport observations
Only the NL 202 buses are likely to be retired when the Gawler Rail subs finish.
Currently there are about 37,but that is likely to increase with the current rate of deliveries of new Scania Bustechs.

Re: (May/June 2021) Transport observations
I think the R means they’ve been given a life extension to assist with covering rail subs, not necessarily to do the subs but to release other buses (mainly artics) to do them. Same thing happened with Seaford Rail subs years ago when the Mercs (rigid and artic) and MAN SG artics had R prefixes but were often used for regular work while regular buses did train subs. Because must if them were artics they were used for actual rail subs more than the current NL rigids. That does not explain R1186. R3229 and R2823 though.

Re: (May/June 2021) Transport observations
Good explanation and thank you!!
Re: (May/June 2021) Transport observations
For the Seaford Rail subs there were also the brand new CB80 artics and rigids that were also given R numbers eg R805 and R851 that were since incorporated into the regular fleet.TT wrote: ↑Tue Jun 01, 2021 5:34 pm I think the R means they’ve been given a life extension to assist with covering rail subs, not necessarily to do the subs but to release other buses (mainly artics) to do them.

Re: (May/June 2021) Transport observations
Another NL202 has joined the rail sub fleet - bus 254 is now R254.
