Is that one meant to be 506? Bus 560 doesn't exist, and 2560 is a Busways bus.

It would appear that Torrens Transit Volgren1364 based at Morphettville Depot has been withdrawn from service-last in service June 2021.

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

There is a bus parked on the retired area at the front of the Depot-maybe it is 752?

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

2718 will never see service again. Fire damage to the rear plus slowly being stripped for spare parts now make it uneconomic to repair.
