Back in 2018 2038 and 2297 were on opposite sides of the fence.

Probably interlining with 290/291.

Probably interlining with 290/291.

Bill Lumbergh says: "If you could at least do your research, that would be great!"

Please study the timetables or the Transperth app (if you have downloaded already) and look up to see what the last services of the day are for those routes , both the 290 and 291 does not have services that operate past 8PM.

It was a cover trip done by myself in 2536. As the other driver on that certain shift (not sure what depot) couldn't do it, and as it happened to be the shift I was on I was finishing up my 320 when the radio called up for any drivers, hence why I did it

[Enviro 500]

I noticed a number of Freo OCs seem to have annoyingly loud gearboxes. 1932 and 1940 are famous examples.

[Merc1107]

There are or were plenty of others, 1286, 1291, 1293, 1905, 1925, several 1930s, among others. Just the nature of the ZF gearboxes, occasionally mixed with a poorly-fitted floor access hatch.

Loud gearboxes in the KUBs have also been reported. Like the OCs, they use EcoLife 6-speeds.

CORRECTION: ZF Ecomat 6HP 502C

[Bus Suggestions]

I would also like to add - have any of the KUB's gearboxes been replaced at all due to noise? If not, then it's just the same story here. Not particularly worth mentioning in its own right.

I stand corrected, albeit only half.

€5 KUBs use Ecomat 4, and AFAIK, none of the 1100 SBS Transit KUBs (both €4 and €5) had their gearboxes replaced.

I have seen videos of loud noises from the gearbox of a KUB and it reminds me of the noise made by 1940.

The louder the better!! Go listen to a TransAdelaide MAN SL200 or Volvo B58 if you want properly loud

Why is it temporary?

[Zidanehartono]

B8RLEA 3140 for Swan, was spotted at Big Wheels Truck Alignment in Welshpool this afternoon.

1585 now a TransBusselton bus.

[Shoudy Chen]

The day before yesterday, I noticed Tp2373 traversing along Grand Promenade northbound. I wonder if this bus is permanent transfer to Malaga depot?

What route was it on?

[Shoudy Chen]

This was a 000 driving along Grand Promenade. Pretty sure it has permanently transferred to Malaga depot.

Does Redcliffe do 960s?
