Good riddance. They are terrible buses. They sway enough to make you sea sick.

They beat catching a CB80 any day .

How dare you say that in a topic that I created..

LCB don't do Rail subs!

I can recall LCB doing rail subs on the Seaford, Tonsley, Belair and Gawler lines as well as the Glenelg tram line.

[The Phonj]

These are Midis,not full size rigids or artics-they are finished. Considering that Gawler rail sub buses would carry a lot of passengers-Midis would be useless for that service. There will be plenty of buses available if and when rail sub buses are required for the Gawler line-ie MAN SL202 Diesels.

It is possible that the midis would be used on regular work; thus freeing full size buses for use on Rail.

[Norman]

Given that the work on the Gawler Line is only for electrification and not track work, most of the closures should only be required at nights and on weekends. Once the track work was done on the Seaford Line, the services went almost back to normal. Therefore, not many would be required... if any extra at all.

I have have moved to Greenwith for 3 months and now get a 591A to get to work. Last few weeks they have been Midis (115/117). Today the morning circuits were being done by 1808.

It means nothing I know, as both could be being serviced or off doing other routes.

Thank you. It's been a while. I observe something and find that someone else has observed it too!

Don't boats normally sail?

[jibb]

LCB 115 is currently on a 265 trip to the City then 251.

[MrNicoster]

Glad to see 115 and 117 still kicking around!

[bigrobbo]

I do take a few 591s lately (too lazy to walk up and down the steep hill!!)

My 591s recently have all been 117. No sign of 115 either on that route or out and about.

Am I just blind?

115 did at least 1am trip early last week,but I don't believe it has been out since.

[bigrobbo]

I last saw it last week or the week before at PBI about to start a 559 but nothing since.

Back in service this morning St.Agnes Midi 115 is doing a 361 from TTP to Port Adelaide and return.

[jibb]

Sighted at Morphettville Depot was midi 123 which according to a report has been serviced,inspected and cleaned in preparation for use on Rail Sub services.

[jibb]

123 has gone to the country.

[Route 506]

123 has gone to the country.

I can definitely confirm this as I saw 123 running the Port Pirie bus service yesterday.
