Confirm 3245 and onwards are destined for Transdev.

Looks like 3245 and onwards are destined for Transdev, sighted the aforementioned unit a few days ago but I couldn't see the operators sticker as there were other buses parked there too.
Hmm, interesting.

Any news of when 2791 will be allocated?

Apparently 2998 and 2999 are ready for revenue service but 2997 is still missing.

Either of them might still be at Trucks Centre Kewdale as per my sightings from yesterday.

Perthbus.info lists 2998 and 2999 as active but doesn't mention 2997.

Not sure why it doesnt appear on the list but 2997 has a listing you can access by clicking the arrows on 96/98

with 1262-1265 withdrawn and 2262-2265 move to karrinyup from freo and 2078-2081 move from karrinyup to rockingham would that mean 1959-1962 move from rockingham to freo or would they just made the new 299x as replacement for the OC withdrawn (because before when all 226x move to freo i thought maybe to make straight swap for next batch and made 2081 below transfer to fremantle not rockingham and rockingham kept 19xx)

In a bit of a roundabout way the 299s should always be replacing the withdrawn 1200s. Though with it happening alongside Rockingham contract swapping a bunch of Volvos with Swan, I'd wager a bunch of B8s went to Rocky to avoid having too few Volvos there. Just a guess.

Not entirely... Operators are no longer being allocated individual blocks of fleet numbers... They will now share the same blocks as is done with the artics :roll:

Meaning some of them could end up with Path? What about 2791-99?

Presumably Path will get those then once its filled up, they will get from the new general pool.

What about them? Obviously they're going to skip the last few 2700s and go straight to 3200s.

Obvious sarcasm is hopefully obvious, Swan went to 3200s after 2899, Transdev's going to 3200s after 2999, why would Path be any different?
