[Q4004]

I think i saw a New AOA on 1362 last week it was a bright red one but not sure what AOA was? Hopefully someone like HFB, Herbert, Mr OC Benz or someone else can confirm what it is

Here's a shot taken by Bus-1809 of 1210 on full circut Red Cats late last week something you don't see very often.

[Bus 400]

This looked like it fitted here to me, but today I noticed 2 CNG Mercedes Benz Transperth buses sitting in a yard near the WA Licensing Services in Queens Park. There appeared to be a lot of trucks with them in this yard.
I was unable to see the fleet numbers though.

[Bus-1809]

Possibly 2 that are due for licensing? Either way, good sighting Bus 400

[Bus 400]

I can help you out there Mr Q4004, Bus 1362 is in an AOA for Brikmakers. Spotted it in Fremantle 20 minutes ago.

[Q4004]

That rings a bell thank you Bus 400!

I spotted one of the CAT buses waiting to go over the pits at the Welshpool licensing centre on the way to work this morning (approx 0700). Buses are a common sight there as it's the only licensing centre in Perth which doesn't require appointments or restrictions for heavy vehicle examinations. In the months leading up to the end of financial year, it is virtually non-stop with the queue of vehicles spilling out onto the road.

[Bus-1809]

Had a visitor at Bull Creek earlier this week. Terra-Nova dropped by after covering a school run on Tuesday Arvo

[rearunder]

1480 seen tonight at Midland Terminal, Midvale's newest Volvo?

[Q4004]

1538 sighted refurbished and photographed today thankfully with no adverts, Unlike 1535 which has an advert

[Bus-1809]

1538's been back for a couple of weeks now.

[High Floor Bus]

1483 seen today in the Volvo Truck Center Guildford.

[Bus 400]

Bus 1211 is out on Fremantle Blue CAT's today. I am right in thinking there are normally 2 buses painted in Fremantle CAT livery?

[Off The Rails]

3 buses are painted in the Freo CAT. Bus no's are: 1178, 1179, 1180.

[Q4004]

1210 - 1212 are used on Fremantle Cats if one of the Fremantle Orange Cat's isn't available

[Bus-1809]

1211 and 1212 Q4004. 1210 isn't CAT Radio Equipped so it's only used if both 1211 & 1212 are already out on normal running or are unavailable for some other reason.

[perthbus]

Will be entering service this arvo, 3004 has a few cosmetic differences compared to 3003.

Short running 507. Runs on school days only, usually an artic to cater for the high number of WSHS students; said run departs Riverton Forum and travels via Willeri Drv, Killara Ave and NR to Bull Creek Station.
