What's unusal about a Karrinyup bus doing a Marmion contract area trip?

There are 2 SCT Renaults being transferred to Swan in the coming days, they'll be operated out of Karrinyup. Will post fleet numbers are the transfer has taken place.

To avoid confusion and doubling up on posts and created unneccessary threads the short-lived transfers etc thread has been merge into the obs thread.

So please as we used to do please post in this thread:

Unusual sightings buses out of their usual operating contracts/area
New deliveries/withdrawals
Refurbs
Transfers etc

The thread is moderated.

As the new bus running time, the route and timetable panels at VPTS have changed to the one similar to the normal bus stop, instead of the wider one.
