2027-28 are definitely at Southern River so 2029-2039/42 should move next month if the regos aren’t extended for that group of 1600s
It's funny that SRDEP 1594-6 are already laid up while WPDEP 1591-2 are apparently still in service because all were from the same batch.
All the same, I am expecting 1429-34 to pop up NOR when more 18** OCs retire.
Also, when the ex-CAT OCs get decommissioned, which buses will go over to Freo CAT to replace 114-6? I believe these ones are older than 1591-1627. If anything, I daresay all Coachair-cooled units don't have much time left.

2027 is definitely still at KP for the moment, 2029 was transferred today to SR.

I’m definitely certain I’ve seen 2027 on a 219 and a 220

The Claisebrook CAT B7 “midis” aren’t that far off being transferred back to revenue running due to the CoP 10 year age limit on CAT buses so they should fill in some of the gaps

Expect to see those regos extended also. Just because the rego is coming up doesn't mean they'll be withdrawn.
The PTA are actually refunded an amount if a bus is Decommissioned and deregistered. So just because a registration is coming up doesn’t mean a bus will be Withdrawn.

Don't think it's been mentioned (I search and saw nothing, so apologies if I missed it), but 1462 is also refurbished.
Cheers!

It has been mentioned more than a month ago, but that's okay.
Yeah clearly my search wasn't expansive enough... oops

2986 seen in service at Rockingham today, it and 2985 should set off the next cascade of 2253/54 to Swan, 2091/92 to Rocky, 1972/73 to Fremantle, and kill off 1251/53
3244 is in service and has been photographed/sound recorded/videoed by myself and Mr. Gasman.
I think there's a reason why the withdrawn OC's are still registered. Time will tell though.
If it's not a ZF, take it back!
