2713 also back in service, with standard interior layout
If it's not a ZF, take it back!

Only 2379/2380 which are now at midvale. Not sure what is happening with 2377 and 2378

Sighted 2378 yesterday evening which is still in service as it is (ie. current livery theme) while doing a 75T (yeah I know). I would assume 2377 and 2378 will be kept for Route 37 (Airport T1/T2 - Oats Street Station), just my thought.

Meanwhile 1921-24 have apparently retired. 2795/7 are also still with Path.

There will be variety of private buses in and out of Terrace Road in the CBD as the 'Oktoberfest In The Gardens' is held at Langley Park today.

2703 had the honours of operating the final 294 service after 42 years!

New deliveries from Bus 3303 and onwards are fitted with the McConnell Metro front seats; an end to the ones on the front wheel arch cover.

Special VIP train which transported special guests including Transport Minister Rita Saffioti for the ribbon cutting ceremony. The first passenger service Perth-bound was done by B-series 50; not sure which unit did the first High Wycombe-bound though.

Set 60 was on the first train (12:08pm) from Perth to High Wycombe.

Sets 93/94 remained in service as a 6 car set along with one or two others to cope with crowds, providing a rare express service between Perth and Redcliffe - or as close as possible to express when sandwiched between eight all-stations trains per hour.
Catch a Traklink bus and you're on the train.

1687 had the honours of operating the first ever 940; departing Redcliffe Station before 5AM.

1355 on supervisor duties at High Wycombe Station.

The 277, 278 and 280 seem to be done by both the Canning and Midvale area depots, while the 940 is a Canning only run.

I think Beckenham and SR are doing 930/940 interlining if that's the case. 277/78/80 arrangements remind me of the 294 of yore.

Which buses spotted on 270, 290 and 291 so far?

I've seen 3016 and some 23xx's on 270's, while 2532 (I think) was on a 290 earlier.

Cheers! :wink:

Second last person to tag off the last timetabled 16 - 23/08/19.
Last person to tag off a Transdev Joondalup service - 19/1/20.

Ah yes, the 37 will be run from RCDEP. Doesn't make sense that airport services are split into two packages though.

Meanwhile 1921-24 have apparently retired. 2795/7 are also still with Path.
Swan are assisting PATH to run the Welshpool "Package" as you call it, due to staff shortages at PATH. When this is rectified, PATH will assume full operation of said "Package".

2792-2799 are on loan AFAIK. 2791 is at Swan

Glad that it was Set 50, as it was the first railcar to operate a service out of Clarkson (a special shuttle from Clarkson to Joondalup and return). Pretty sure Set 50 was also the first B Series to operate a service of any kind

I'm aware 2791 has gone to MCDEP. Possibly for 950 considering it was a Malaga bus.

By Welshpool "package" I assume you mean Kalamunda. The term "package" is how the authorities in my hometown refer to tendered bus contracts, of which 5/14 have been called. Swan (Tower) Transit currently controls 2 of them.

2169 on 211. Possibly replacing 1607 that has been pulled from service along with 1608-12 and 1618.

Got to have a read of that and great coverage that you did there! That film crew was a Channel Nine one covering a story for the Today Show for the eastern states.

I was also onboard B-series 71 doing that inaugural High Wycombe - Claremont service, so I might've seen you. Was the one wearing with the grey waterproof jacket sitting in the front/1st and then middle car of Set 71 during the journey in case if you're wondering.
