Yes, they've permanently moved to their new location in Forrestfield, with the move being completed last weekend. The 'for lease' sign has been there for months.

Only the truck division and parts has moved to Forrestfield

Armadale Line Services were suspended from first service until early afternoon, due to another Code 8 at Kelvin Road Level Crossing. Not sure of the car numbers involved. Missed out on doing Rail Replacement too, as my phone was on silent due to a family issue overnight.

It was sets 01/46 set 01 has a damaged on the cow catcher at B end or AEB301 the system was hauled wrong road back to Cannington by another 4car into the siding. This also saw an increase in the number of B series out on heritage to cover for the short fall. The Jeep was near new a velvet red Laredo only had just over 12,000km on the odometer was stolen from Maddington Toyota looked quite nice oh well such a waste. They did a temporary fix to get services back up and running another partial shutdown and closure of Albany highway and the crescent is required at some point to do a full repair

Maybe the Kelvin Road crossing should also be closed next?

What became of the occupants of the Laredo?

They had left it there after stealing it then getting it stuck on the tracks, so there was nobody in it.

It was Albany highway and the Crescent not
Kelvin road nothing needs to be done at this late stage traffic levels are manageable/tolerable maybe planning for stage 2 of the level crossing removable should be for south of Cannington or outer heritage, the Jeep was stolen from nearby Maddington Toyota and then abandoned after it got stuck. The bandits obviously managed to trigger the remote start system

I thought the Jeep got stuck at the same spot where 1593 was written off. Anyway, removing all level crossings south of Beckenham should be carried out if we ever upgrade the Australind service to HSR.

A high speed Bunbury train wouldn’t run via Armadale that’s what the Forrest highway and the existing Mandurah and Thornlie lines are for although it does require major upgrades south of Pinjarra road, I think how they’ll manage it is by keeping the exisiting diesel train as a local commuter service between Armadale & Bunbury the high speed service would be more direct for workers, tourists and Bunbury residents, the feasibility study would look into journey times via Forrest highway/BORR/Mandurah/Thornlie line and direct via Forrest highway with bridge structures and viaducts into Bunbury from Old Coast road because it would have to service Australind/Paris road as well as Eaton & Millbridge, the Armadale/south west line also has a major issue with the shared freight corridor and requires a costly and complex upgrade south of Byford/Mundijong and its not the fastest route

I'd say it's covid buses, they don't usually go that far

Haven't been out much recently so I am sure it's not the newest, but 2053 is back from refurb.

3207 and 3208 in service at Beenyup, which should leave 1850 as the final NH at that depot.

2033 is back in service after the crash.
I'd post any important, bus-related links I had, but they're outdated anyways.
