It's taken you this long to notice? Buses from all over Perth have been used for rail, whether it be Mandurah's 2222 (as stated above), Joondalup's 2678, or Kalamunda's 3029. The scale of the Mandurah Line shutdown is so big that relying on a few depots would be ridiculous.

Anyway, back to actual observations, I sighted 1343, 1840, 1843 and 1845 all out and about Thursday morning, around Murdoch Stn.

Cheers! :wink:

Leaving King's Park on 2782 (Blue Cat).

Funniest part is the Safe WA QR scanner gives the location on my phone as 2607.

1214 and 1219 currently at PCEC.
EDIT: A few minutes later and 1210, 1217, 1218, and 1348 showed up.
PERSONAL NOTE: This marks the first, and probably only time I've seen a CR226L in person!
I'd post any important, bus-related links I had, but they're outdated anyways.

Mandurah's 2609 had the honour of operating the last bus out of PCEC, on a 909 to Mandurah. The last 949 to Aubin Grove was done by Canning Vale's 2509.

Cheers! :D

i just wanna ask. will all Mandurah return to Mandurah from now or wait until the school start. also will NH stay longer now or will they get withdrawn after mandurah closourer. (especially in last december there are a period where they reduce volvo shift from freo and increase their usage of CNG bus)/

That TransKununurra bus looks like 2309 before it went to Kununurra on January 5.

Nothing special about that. Please refer to the thread rules on the first page...

"PTA / Transperth related observations should relate to sightings of unusual, unrecorded and interesting occurrences, such as buses out of their normal operating area or on routes that are unusual to be seen on."
