Re: PTA / Transperth & Private Observations - 2023
I think I mentioned before that Claisebrook B7s are reaching their 10-year tenure very soon. My guess is they could be redeployed to SR when the Armadale Line shutdown commences or RO to replace the CNG midis when those retire.
A side note, have all Path Transit CNG midis been pulled off the road yet? I haven't seen any of them around for several days in a row.

3223 is the tenth (and final) bus to be accounted for in the new SmartRider SCV trial. Full list in the relevant thread.
I'd post any important, bus-related links I had, but they're outdated anyways.

Welshpool's 3394 is at the new Cannington Temporary Bus Station as part of a public METRONET-related event.

1591 is a WP bus. Morley region CNG midis (18** ones) all but disappeared, while 104 is apparently listed as being put into storage.the c man wrote: ↑Sun Nov 12, 2023 10:52 amSpotted 1591 on midland line rail replacement yesterday eveningEnviro 500 wrote: ↑Sun Nov 12, 2023 2:24 am I think I mentioned before that Claisebrook B7s are reaching their 10-year tenure very soon.

Re: PTA / Transperth & Private Observations - 2023
Just a random question Does Bus 3000 have 3 or 4 sideways seats on each side.
And also, is 3001 still operational and if it is not when will it return to service.

You mean the wheelchair bay? The area is a bit smaller and so I think it was just 3.
The Darwin L94UAs had a reverse-facing seat, and another normal row, both of which held 2 passengers each and flipped up, which is the basis of my guess.

Both are not noteworthy observations as they operate in their respective contract areas/routes.

Re: PTA / Transperth & Private Observations - 2023
For the second observation, it means 1592 is still active while most Malaga CNG midis have all but vanished.Zidanehartono wrote: ↑Mon Nov 13, 2023 2:43 pmTransRegional wrote: ↑Mon Nov 13, 2023 9:34 am I also saw 1699 on 34 when I was in Perth on Saturday and I captured 1697 on 38.Both are not noteworthy observations as they operate in their respective contract areas/routes.

3311 appears to have an orange rear LED desto, spotted on a 371 just a few minutes ago - anyone know why it's been fitted?

Does this mean 2892 and 3366 are now SR perm buses?
