Most probably headed back to normal service. 2881 may be next.Bus Suggestions wrote: ↑Tue May 17, 2022 7:44 pm 2880 seen at Whitfords yesterday, in standard Transperth corporate, stripped of all Joondalup CAT branding - no photos as my phone died unfortunately.

Re: PTA / Transperth & Private Observations - 2022
Apologies, maybe I should've noted that because it was in normal livery, I meant it was in normal service.
I'd post any important, bus-related links I had, but they're outdated anyways.
Re: PTA / Transperth & Private Observations - 2022
Surprised nobody has sighted/reported Joondalup B8 pair 2677 and 2678, which are both currently on-loan to Karrinyup and spending a fair amount of time on 998/999’s. Both of these wear full AOA’s.

KP does circles too? I thought only MC did so.
If KP has been doing shifts on circles, is this a recent thing or has it been that way since Path Transit days?

Care to flesh out why you think a Midvale bus in the Southern River area is not unusual? Your example refers to the Canning area.

Midvale bus in southeast region has been sighted before.

Re: PTA / Transperth & Private Observations - 2022
By that logic, this thread, and the countless other threads chronicling unusual fleet movements are completely redundant, because "it's happened before".Enviro 500 wrote: ↑Sun May 22, 2022 6:03 pm Midvale bus in southeast region has been sighted before.

If a Midvale bus & driver go out to do Canning or Southern River contract runs, that is unusual. The same was true when 1805 and 1798 each spent an evening lurking around Rocky a few years back, when ordinarily, that particular fleet type was kept on an extremely tight leash.

There's no fixed buses for the Tent Shuttles as far as I'm aware. It's just whatever is available at the time. I've seen 80 on the Tents before, just for reference.
If it's not a ZF, take it back!

Re: PTA / Transperth & Private Observations - 2022
Interesting. Which route was 2599 serving?
Bus stop pole on Asquith Street before Adderley Street eastbound still says 27 goes to WACA. Route details however have been updated to reflect the new terminus at Terrace Road.

Re: PTA / Transperth & Private Observations - 2022
The updating of the totems or even the information on them isn't always that well-executed. Describing a 114 or 115 on the city-bound side of Riseley St or Canning Hwy as "Limited Stops" is somewhat misleading, for instance.
Still, it beats the Darwin approach to the provision of information and for that we should be grateful... Sticky-taping a new timetable over the old one, or just not telling anyone the timetable changed at all are considered acceptable ways to keep the public up-to-date.

Port Hedland’s 2119, 2120 and 2121 have been refurbished. Haven’t seen 2122. Must be getting refurbished.
