PTA / Transperth Observations - July 2012

[PoweredByCNG]

I saw a Transperth liveried artic in Clayton South, Victoria on Monday displaying "VIA ALBANY HWY 2" on the desto - does that count as a Transperth observation?

Oh, wow. I was originally informed that only five of the B12BLEAs were to have been built in Melbourne. Obviously the total is a lot higher than that, considering that at least six Melbourne-built units are already in service here!

Not sure if it's reported as being sighted in-service yet but just saw new B7 2312 running an inbound 887 at Alexander Heights shops.

3005 & 3010 are both out today. 3010 is a right heap as well (not to say that the rest aren't as well )

[CR228L]

3005 and 3010 sighted in an out of the busport today, surely that's unusual for a Saturday.

[CR228L]

Whoops, 1809 scored that one first!

[Bus-1809]

Haha, I only knew because I received a tip off from the driver of one of them

Maybe so they don't have starting issues with them on Monday morning after the batteries have been drained over the weekend.

Spotted 3010 running a 99 in Karel Ave this morning. Unusual to see an artic on that part of the Circle Route on a Sunday, but I figure it'll be used for the footy later in the day

[Bus-1809]

Yep I'll second Q4004. Mr SEB must have had a brain fart!

On the CAT tracker anyone know what bus 9999 is?

[I love the old buses]

Maybe it is 1591 i dont see 1591 on there at all. Unless it isn't out today.

1591 and 92 both show as their correct ID's as does 1919.

I'm dubious about that CAT tracker as it currently says there is only 24 buses out on all routes and the CAT fleet has 35 buses.

3017 delivered to malaga today.

[I love the old buses]

Off topic and non complying post removed.

[Bus-1809]

3019 and 3020 delivered to CV today. Nothing was mentioned about 3018, so I'm guessing that hasn't been delivered to whoever is getting it yet.

[perthbus]

1837 is back from refurb.

[Bus-1809]

3019 seen in service on 508's this afternoon

573 did a twilight 507F this afternoon as well!

[Bus-1809]

3020 in service this afternoon and 3021 delivered to CV

[jonwil]

What part of town is the best place to see all these new CV B12s?

[Bus-1809]

Anywhere Canning Vale operates. They aren't on any particular run.

3016 was out today. The driver who had 3005 last weekend opted for a Midi OC this week

Be mindful Bus-1809 as vast majority of readers aren't going to have the foggiest idea what your post is about or refering too.

660 I believe has been withdrawn and something different 1592 is currently out on Blue CATS tonight, it's unusual to see an 'odd-bod' CAT out of the weekends let alone on a night shift.
