Volvo 1490 at Bull Creek Station on driver training duties...

[drpeps]

Wow, 1490 is not even on the perthbus.info database yet!

[ADX666]

Who cares, it has never been an up to the minute record, the person who runs the site has a full time job and a family to boot! A tough juggle IMHO

Couldnt have put it better myself. Well Said

The person that runs the site, puts in as much time as he can. I think ppl should be grateful for the amount of effort that is put into the site as its probably the most detailed. Take a step back and look outside the box. People do not always just sit in front of a computer 24 / 7 to spend on their hobby or for that matter preserve history. People have Family's, Work Commitments and also try and maintain a life outside the net. I know this is an obs thread but it annoys the crappers out of me when ppl can not have the respect or understanding that someone is out there trying as ADX appty put "JUGGLE" their lifestyle. Be thankful there is a database that someone has put the time into, to allow those to seek a bit of history.

If im being a bit blunt , i dont care, When the site was down recently, I had seen comments that annoyed me about the site. Its a darn good site. Just be grateful. Dont comment to this, lets just keep the obs thread moving as it should be. People like myself should not have to be spending time writing this.

My post was just to say that things move quickly. I am very appreciative of the work done maintaining the perthbus.info database, and in this regard I have been out and about photographing Bunbury buses since their transformation into TransBunbury livery and submitting them for inclusion on the database. I get a thrill when I see them posted, knowing that all the work on the database is done in a voluntary capacity.

I was glad that the site was finally working again. I found it very useful.

Would be nice if some form of community editing is allowed rather than a feedback form. It makes the job of the owner a lot easier to delegate work or just approve changes.

Engine area caught fire. The hose from the Fire truck went right into the engine area, while 2 Fire officers was watching very closly.
I would say that the driveline got a bit too hot, and it burned the engine. The only thing thats odd, is that 665 was in Freo and it is ( was? ) based in Mandruah. Than god my Dad went past! Then this would not been known about!

Cheers!

[Mandurahbus]

665 used to be a Mandurah but was transfered up to Freo and in return Mandurah got 723.
