102 on 37. Looks like it may be WPDEP responsibility for this one.

Re: PTA / Transperth & Private Observations - 2022
Some of those were parked up quite some time ago now, am reasonably certain at least one hasn't been out since May at the latest.Enviro 500 wrote: ↑Tue Oct 11, 2022 11:17 am Possibly replacing 1607 that has been pulled from service along with 1608-12 and 1618.
With regard to the latest fleet updates on 'perthbus.info', note the withdrawal date says "by dd.mm.yyyy", meaning an exact date has not been supplied.

2572 on 280, 2789 on 270, 2604 on 940 this morning.
Re: PTA / Transperth & Private Observations - 2022
I saw this today, it still retains those unique panels with the ‘grabs’ on the near-side at least on the near-side.
We’ll allow to be posted for a week, but with shared operation of the FAL between PATH and Swan and it being operated by MV, CV, BH, SR, Redcliffe, Welshpool and Kalamunda depots, these don’t really constitute ‘noteworthy’ workings.

Re: PTA / Transperth & Private Observations - 2022
Fair enough re 270/280, but 940 seems to be getting mostly buses from the southeast region despite being under Midland package. I spotted 1637 and 2604 on 2 different days, while someone else saw 1687 doing its maiden run on 940.perthbus wrote: ↑Wed Oct 12, 2022 11:09 pmI saw this today, it still retains those unique panels with the ‘grabs’ on the near-side at least on the near-side.

Re 37, I was a bit surprised to see a gassie doing it, and an ex-CAT to boot.

2797 (ex-Malaga) on 910.
Also, if 2791 is indeed at BH as claimed by C-Man, I have yet to see it in my neighbourhood. I get about on the 930 quite a lot and it gets many buses from BH. Should have at least spotted it by now.

Re: PTA / Transperth & Private Observations - 2022
You can clearly if you look where the racks were, the one I saw has plugs in the side walls where the racks were mounted and the yellow priority floor area wasn’t replaced so you can see also see where the racks were bolted to the floor.Enviro 500 wrote: ↑Thu Oct 13, 2022 11:37 pm 2713 on 39 looking like any other B7 would.

2132 refurbished.
I'd post any important, bus-related links I had, but they're outdated anyways.

Re: PTA / Transperth & Private Observations - 2022
Based on info given to me by a reliable source Southern River is being expanded in preparation for the Armadale Line shutdown which includes increasing it's fleet of buses, i'd say as more of the 16xx get withdrawn they will be replaced by 20xx from Karrinyup.
