That we can do laptop15.

In other news, there is big rail coming up over the weekend of the 17th/18th/19th/20th August. If you have time and a camera of some sorts, be in the city and find a good vantage point because basically, if it has 6 things that remotely look like wheels (or 8 or 10 in some cases), a motor and a steering wheel of sorts, it will be out!

Saturday would be a good day because of the Football on at Subiaco and plus its gonna be interesting to see if the buses go past Subiaco Oval straight after the game with the road closures normally in place

Considering as I understand, the Friday afternoon peak, railways into the city will be closed, I suspect it'll be interesting mixture of buses on that Friday afternoon! I hope people out there will go capture the moments!

For what it's worth, this official-looking PDF document on the Christ Church website reckons the railbus will be every 2 minutes during the afternoon peak, and following the train frequencies at other times (excluding the additional footy services no doubt.)

Should be an interesting weekend, can't wait to read the inevitable media beatup.

I recon the Friday peak will probably have the largest concentration of Transperth buses ever seen in the greater CBD area at a single time.
Should be the perfect opportunity to capture group shots of any number of artics.

More buses are required for the Saturday as Footy is on.

It's going to be a massive 3 days and I know at work we're getting some additional artics from other Swan depots.

While the trains on Joondalup Line between Perth and Whitfords are cancelled, the Mandurah Line train uses the Platform 2 in Esplanade station for both directions.
