Re: Buses out of service for long periods
It would appear that Torrens Transit Volgren1364 based at Morphettville Depot has been withdrawn from service-last in service June 2021.

Re: Buses out of service for long periods
You said above that 1364 has been retired
Wondering if this is the case on some of the other ex-Darwin buses?
I’ve also heard a rumour that 752 has been retired. Willing to hear any evidence for/against it though.
First person on 822, 865 (2016 re-route).
Last person on 164, 867, 868

Re: Buses out of service for long periods
There is a bus parked on the retired area at the front of the Depot-maybe it is 752?

Re: Buses out of service for long periods
Also 2709 can be added to that list as that hasn't seen service for a good 6 plus months
And 2212 is in the diesel mechanic in Lonsdale minus it's engine which is receiving a rebuild

Re: Buses out of service for long periods
2718 will never see service again. Fire damage to the rear plus slowly being stripped for spare parts now make it uneconomic to repair.
