The Claremont station closure has been extended to June significant rot and damaged components have been found this post by the Transport & Planning Minister further explains the depth of the issues. Obviously this requires fabrication of new components and timber hardware a shuttle train will continue to from Showgrounds station whilst the repairs are carried out and the station is brought up to modern construction standards

2071 and 2072 are back from refurb.
I'd post any important, bus-related links I had, but they're outdated anyways.

Re: PTA / Transperth & Private Observations - 2021
Some of the mid-range 127x’s are well in excess of 1.1 million kms, which is phenomenal mileage for a gassie, they present nicely too even several years after going thru the refurbishment program.
Everything up to and including 2074 is back from refurb now.

Re: PTA / Transperth & Private Observations - 2021
Some of the Karrinyup ones that were in the last batch of gas OC’s delivered are barely halfway there! They come back from refurb looking absolutely mint too

Those high-mileage 1200s are often mind-bogglingly quick too. Certainly earned their stripes.

Re: PTA / Transperth & Private Observations - 2021
Kilometers mean nothing... The oldest one doesn't have the highest kilometres
Remember that most of the 127x's and 128x's got cabs early in the peace, so have done long days since almost new!

Re: PTA / Transperth & Private Observations - 2021
Not much comes close to the Rockingham ones, half of them down here have passed the million mark by now and they've still got a few years to go yet! I think 1948 is the highest here now 1942 has left for Freo, closely followed by 1959 iirc
I'll have to snap 2074 before it gets another wrap!

Re: PTA / Transperth & Private Observations - 2021
That’s nothing unusual for weekends it’s mainly done by Canningvale and occasionally Beckenham. Southern River doesn’t do much weekend work apart from Armadale local routes because it’s CNGEnviro 500 wrote:2504 on 233 in Treeby.

Re: PTA / Transperth & Private Observations - 2021
Or perhaps there simply aren't enough services that even operate on weekends down in that part of the world for it to be efficient for Southern River to have many buses out.
Re: PTA / Transperth & Private Observations - 2021
Southern River has never done much weekend work unless it’s for rail replacement or Armadale local routes, the preference is for Volvos from Canningvale and Beckenham even the 930 which is mainly a southern river run got nothing to do not having sufficient weekend servicesMerc1107 wrote:Or perhaps there simply aren't enough services that even operate on weekends down in that part of the world for it to be efficient for Southern River to have many buses out.

Re: PTA / Transperth & Private Observations - 2021
And it has nothing to do with the fact Canning Vale has more drivers, an easier place to change buses off... right.
