(that would mean this bus move from each depo 4 times. (Karrinyup 2009-2014, Southenr River 2014-2019, Karrinyup 2019-Oct 2020, then Southern River oct 2020).
although i not sure is this bus actually when first deliver is for karrinyup depot.

2495 seen running a 101TA this evening, so is in fact still at Canning Vale and has not moved to Midvale.
i think is already back now because last thursday i saw on midland station.

Not sure on that, theoretically there should be buses from Beckenham and CV wearing a mo, although these'll be rare as there seems to be no more than 3 or 4 mo buses per depot.

If there are any in Beckenham, I'd have spotted them in Thornlie but so far I haven't.

Some of the 2780s will be replacing some early 2300s, not all of them. Most of them would be targeted at fleet expansion and replacement of Path's remaining NHs, 1566-68 and 1724.

2780-2788 are replacing 2300-2308 as far as I know. On paper the NHs should have already been replaced (ie. I think 2776-78 were 1566-68s replacements) so I'll be surprised if anything else is sent to replace them. I think the NHs will quietly slip away once these regional movements are finished, since Path's done with OC refurbs too. Just a guess tho.

All NH's are due for retirement. There's not many left at all now. Mainly just the regional ones.
If it's not a ZF, take it back!

According to tender documents from a couple of months ago, 1204 and 1231 are earmarked for transfer from Kalgoorlie to Bridgetown for the commencement of a new contract there early next year. Surely they won't be there for too long though.

Bridgetown would be under the purview of Trans Manjimup wouldn't it?

It's planned to be a separate contract. Currently services are run by orange school buses as they recently transitioned to operating scheduled town services with bus stops installed and a public transport boundary established (for the purposes of collecting fares within this boundary). So this seems to be the next step of what I imagine will eventually become "TransBridgetown"?
