Bus 210 I was on this afternoon broke down on Shepparton Road. Anyone know what was wrong with it?

Seems to be a few I have been on in the past year that have broken down from Swan Transit.

Fantastic Swan Transit to provide a 210 bus from Thornlie to Gosnells for those who needs to get into Gosnells. Well done, good planning there.

This is not the place to whinge about these things, it is unfortunate that a bus breaks down these things happen and more often than not they can't be helped or avoided and happen all of a sudden when everybody least expects it.
Looking to getting more Transperth bus, train and ferry models made up through Transit Graphics.
Currently driving for The Transporter & Buswest Wangara.

Not whinging at all. Just making note of the quick and efficient organising by Swan Transit to provide another service up the road.

Does anyone have any photos of the Transperth Buses operating in Albany?

I remember about 20 years ago, going on a school trip to Northam on a Transperth bus - wish I had taken a photo of it in the main street of Northam :)
