1101 is another bus out of service at Morphettville
1101 has been in service since Tuesday. As for 247 it did enter service from July with Torrens Transit from their St Agnes Depot. Shortly after it broke down and has been off the road since.

St Agnes Scanoa O-Bahn Artic 1157 is being towed from Morphettville Depot to Scania Wingfield a short time ago.
That makes 8 Artics out of services
The O-Bahn track speed/track is obviously taking its toll on these artics?

'275' (ex Serco 279) from what I've heard is like 1959 was a couple of years ago. Breaks down for no reason, towed back, receives overhaul, then the cycle repeats itself.
