A belated post (I'm on holiday and away from Internet connections mostly):

Saw Mandi (STM2001) heading up Kalamunda Rd on an extended 288 to Kalamunda on Thursday morning about 0830, followed by another Midvale Renault doing the same route. I assume this is mainly a schoolkid collection run and is usually a link or at least a 405, hence the double-banking.

Nice to see Mandi somewhere other than shuttling up and back between the Midland Station and the shops!

1565 was observed at Murdoch late this morning

[jonwil]

One of the 3 remaining O405G bumblers (unsure which one as I wasnt close enough to see the fleet no) was spotted heading from Canning Highway through the Victoria Park Transfer Station and across the causeway at about 3pm or a little bit after. (appeared to be doing some sort of school run I think)

[Q4004]

1565 was observed at Murdoch late this morning

Also 1533 which we all know its refurbished but a much better shot of it at Fremantle

[Bus-1809]

O405G Bumblers? What on earth is an O405G Bumbler? Sounds to me like you are referring to 488.

[Bus-1809]

Should also mention 1537 is back from refurb.

I think he mean 0305G
turbocharged 0305G is artic version of 0405

[jonwil]

Sorry, yes I meant 0305G
Slip of the finger

[Bus-1809]

All good.

NR29, Turbocharged O305G's are NOT an articulated version of an O405. That is in fact an O405G. 659-668 & 670-677 are O305G's with the VöV II Front.

[Q4004]

1537 is back from refurb no pics still no pics of 1536

1734 just left Oats Street on a 99

[insert_coin]

Eyesore 2216 being towed up Roe Hwy just before midday.....is it a new "off of the ship" job?

[ADX666]

I'm sure I read somewhere else that 2216 has broken down a few times previously so maybe that POS is going for warranty repairs?

[Mr OC Benz]

Yes for the record I have observed/heard/advised that is has broken down approximately four times now. However that is just what I know. It could be more or (perhaps less?) than that. And it is also the first Volvo B7RLE from the production line... Not a good start. Hopefully things improve...
