[Mr OC Benz]

Mercedes O405 CNG 1103 was out today from Bayswater.

[TP1854]

3000 was sighted at WSBS on rail replacement 904 stand-by.

[ADX666]

I rode on Renault PR.180.2 UQB750 home from Perth to Stirling today

[TP1854]

Heres 3000 today at WSBS if any one wants the full sized version please PM me.

[Bus-1809]

1103 is one of Baysie's top quality pieces of machinery. The AEC Gas System makes a world of difference. Better than the Silver's by a long shot. Also 1103 looks good too!

[Bus-1809]

Hmm, dunno about 3000 being out

722, 736, 738, 750, 1741, 1751, 1753 & 1754 were this evening's Rail Chariots.

2 Cleanskins were also seen out on regular running tonight

[ADX666]

I saw 3000 yesterday, it was at WSBS

[busdriver12]

I know it was a pain getting in and out of WSBS yesterday. Rail buses chocking up most of A road making it difficult for regular service buses such as myself (I was running 31 and 34 services). Add to that the lane closures on Barrack and Wellington Sts made for a major pain in the bum.

[Mr OC Benz]

Swan weren't the only operator to receive major delays because of the lane closures in the City. Some of PATH's services experienced major delays also.

[busdriver12]

I made no reference to Swan in my post.

[Mr OC Benz]

I know you didn't, was just adding that most City Outbound (or in your case, inbound to WSBS) were experiencing major delays.

[ADX666]

Not as much out n about today but managed a ride on 731, 733,737 which is a real sh!tbox, 728 and 699. Not sure what I'll ride home in, at Subi vs South Freo wafl finals atm!
Btw if anyone grabbed a shot of 750 this weekend, I would love a hi-res copy!

[route171]

Saw 3000,722,1445 at Burswood Dome around 3.40pm today

[Bus-1809]

750 was out from 9am to 7pm today.

This evening's chariots: 721, 725, 739, 1740, 1742 & 1749. 699, 712, 731, 732, 733, 735, 736, 737, 738, 2105, 2108, 2113, & 2122 were also out earlier in the day. 1170, 1255, 1753 & 1914 were all spare buses.

737 rattles a bit but by god she gets up and moves!

[ADX666]

Must have been the driver, 737 really stuggled to get up to speed on the freeway, with all 10 pax aboard!

[Bus-1809]

I'm pretty sure I know who it is. I had them in 1107 the other week. They're very slow and steady. 737 usually gets up and moves no worries. Only other thing that comes to mind is a leak in the air supply line to the accelerator.

3003 seen out this afternoon on Morrison Road in Midvale.

[Q4004]

483 seen at Armadale this morning also a rail working which brought a smile to my face

[Bus-1809]

488 and 3002 seen at the Busport at the same time this afternoon.

1802 has finally made a return to service. She's not going too bad either! Gets up and goes and no backfiring!

[6LW]

1106 traversing Beaufort Street Nr Walcott north bound this morning. Off to do a circle?

[Bus-1809]

I'll ask the driver for you 6LW and let you know.

Rode 1462 (what a heap of garbage) on a 314 and a 324 today. Also had 3000 (Absolute screamer & what a BOV too!) on an 881

[Bus-1809]

1106 confirmed on Beaufort St, but I won't say why it was there.

Renaults used to be used on the 870's all the time when Wangara had them.
