PTA / Transperth & Private Observations - 2022

[Enviro 500]

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

[Merc1107]

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

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.

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.

[Enviro 500]

2572 on 280, 2789 on 270, 2604 on 940 this morning.

[perthbus]

2707 back in service with normal seating layout

I saw this today, it still retains those unique panels with the ‘grabs’ on the near-side at least on the near-side.

2572 on 280, 2789 on 270, 2604 on 940 this morning.

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.

This afternoon I saw TP2124 traversing along South St Westbound operating the Route 518.

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.

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

2998 seen on a 563 at Warnbro Station this arvo, possible change over.

[Enviro 500]

2713 on 39 looking like any other B7 would. Can't tell it was once a luggage bus.

This afternoon I saw TP2124 traversing along South St Westbound operating the Route 518.

Now 2126 on 207. Some interesting sightings in the Southeast indeed.

Fun Over Fifty Tours FOF52 (Mercedes Benz O500RF-3/Irizar i6) sighted a long way home in Rivervale earlier this evening.

[Enviro 500]

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.

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.

2791 is indeed at Beckenham along with B7’s 2590-2593.
2124-2126 now at Canning Vale too.

[Bus Suggestions]

2132 refurbished.

Are 2169-71 in Southeast as well?

[the c man]

you may not see it all the time in beckenham, since beckenham, canningvale, southern river all come to midland do the 277s, 278s, 290s, 291s

2791 is indeed at Beckenham along with B7’s 2590-2593.

Does this mean SR stopped taking in gas buses?

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.

[Enviro 500]

1570 pulled from hibernation to serve on 177.
