I did see 2852 doing a 560 on a Sunday a few weeks back, which I must admit was a bit of a surprise. Every so often during the week you may spot an artic on the 560 but weekends are very rare.

A lucky break given the few remaining SL202 diesels, and with 443 gone last week, it was probably the last trip I'll get on one! It still seemed to be running as well as ever!
444 was out and about yesterday morning. I did a 239 out of the city to Churchill Centre on it. It was a great birthday present!
The 9:17am 361 from Port Adelaide this morning was good old 612. I thought those buses came out early and were put to bed around 9ish!
I think most days the 361 leaving TTP at approx. 8:30am is either 612 or 613, which would obviously form the 9:17am return trip from Port Adelaide.
On another note, enjoying the return (however long it lasts) of the Midis. Got a ride on 122 this morning.
Interesting if 1714 is now doing rail subs. I could be wrong, but wasn't that bus along with 1711 and 1712 loaned to various locations (I know 1711 was in Port Pirie), and 1712 & 1714 were either Murray Bridge or Mt Gambier respectively?
