1555 was seen on St Georges Tce running a 2x service (99% sure it was a 24) around lunch time.

I've seen heaps of unusual fleet sightings of late, today saw 2535 at Warwick with I originally thought was at Ellenbrook but now appears to be at Beenyup/Karrinyup,
over the last week also I've sighted 1556 an 1557 both running Claremont services 24/25/27/28/103 so they must have transferred to.
1235, 1236 an 1238 seem to be back at Palmyra from Rockingham as I've seen them around the city on 160/910s ect, on the subject of Palmyra; 2656 an 2658 also seen at Elizabeth Quay so recently entered service it seems,
and lastly 2129, 2130, 2131 I believe are back at Wangara as I've seen them on Mirrabooka runs throughout the last few weeks.

Great thanks, 1900 sighted refurbed an 2659 also in service on Friday.

I'm pretty sure 1908 is also now refurbished. That makes 3 19xxs at Freo that are refurbished in my books, despite some 12xxs (ie. 1286 - which is in absolutely appalling condition) not having been done yet.

I've also noticed a couple more 19xxs prepped for refurb.

Add 1901 to that list sighted yesterday at EQBS having been refurbed ....... it was extremely shiny! So say only just come back on road.

I've noticed a few of those 19xx's are have had the mesh screens covering windows (aft of the rear doors) removed - you can tell because of the screw holes, and cleaner surface where the screen was mounted.

Probably what TP1173 is referring to.

i noticed it on 1543&1544 aswell yesterday as both were on 950

I don't believe there have been any buses fitted with the mesh screens for a number of years now (not since the spike in rock attacks warranted the increased protection around 2010/11) and indeed it now seems none of the recent refurbs have had the screens retained. 1861, the sole CNG 18xx at Path also had the mesh screens removed at time of refurbishment and I'd imagine that the few 200x at Path will also have them removed once their turn for refurb comes.

Forgot to mention also saw Canning Vale's 707 running the 790 ex Perth Busport about 8.10am yesterday morning on Wellington St, in recent times I usually only see Volvo artics from Swan in the city... or anywhere for that matter nowadays.

2660 in service running a 372F this afternoon so seems delivered to Wangara or Joondalup

Approx 1.30pm today I saw 2424 on a 999 service along Karrinyup Road, looks like it has moved back to Canning Vale after a four month stint at Karrinyup.

2661 seen running a 562 at Rockingham Station this afternoon so looks like its Palmyra or Rockingham?

Edit: Saw it again this morning on a 558 so looks like it's Rockingham

Admin Note- Such additions should be done as an additional post and not a correction so that the post will show up in the list of recent posts.
