1360 on Joondalup-Clarkson rail replacement.

1700 is also up here too for old times sake.

I love the old buses · Mon Mar 03, 2014 9:14 pm

Not sure if it has been mentioned, but 1313 and 5563 (ex 1065) are both sitting in the graveyard at Canning Vale, looks like 5563 is being used for parts.

Whether you like him or not, respect should be given to him at the present time, allow him the privacy he requires while he gets better, sickness shouldn't be wished upon anyone Premier Colin Barnett has now signed on as acting transport minister & treasurer

Transferred back to Morley on Sat.

About time 615 got withdrawn, when I rode in it last it was terribly rough at idle and I think it had a leaking diesel injector or something because I could smell diesel not too sure what it was I could smell

Finally let's hope 1829 is getting done too now.

My Guess with 615 is the Automatic Neutral at Stop (ANS) is probably knackered. Just think how many 354's, 365's, 363's etc... it would have done in it's many years as a Wangara Night Bus.
