Saw 3057 and 3058 at Duncraig High School today at 2:30pm on a school special what was the case of 3057 to come from Joondalup to Duncraig to do a school special

It’s a swan bus operating within the swan contract area there’s always an operational reason as to why a bus is required to cover that service

1697 on 940 like it used to be. Except that both the bus and route have moved out of their original contract areas.

3429 on 930 and 3367 on 220.

I honestly dont know why your making useless observations as these buses are doing their routes from the depot. It's normal service.

Does anybody know if all the 22xx Volvo optmuis body buses are still at Karrinyup or have some of them moved and also what are the Volvo b8 articulated bus fleet numbers Aswell as the B12 Articulated bus fleet numbers at Joondalup and Karrinyup Bus Depots

Get into the habit of checking other sources before asking, it isn't that hard.

I was on this bus last week on 930. It was evening peak and the bus was crowded. The air conditioning didn't seem to be working properly. So stuffy inside it was oppressive.

Anyway, it looks like 1428 may have been shipped off to Gosnells in exchange.

Does anybody know why TP3001 Had 3 Rear Facing Seats (1 Double and 1 Single) just after the Bendy Bit and had a bench of 4 Seats at the back of the bus and also why does some of the Mercedes Benz O305Gs Have 2 Forward Facing Seats and 2 Sideway Seats behind the driver, then 4 Rear Facing Seats (2 Doubles) and 1 Double Forward Facing Seat at the front of the bus, then 7 Rows of 4 Forward Facing Seats, then 4 Rear Facing Seats (2 Doubles) just before the bendy bit, then 4 sideway seats in the Bendy Bit, then 3 Rear Facing Seats (1 Double and 1 Single) just after the bendy bit, then 4 Forward Facing Seats (2 Doubles), then 6 rows of 4 Forward Facing Seats, then a Bench of 4 Seats at the Back of the Bus and only have 1 Door and would this be highest carrying seating capacity on a bendy bus in Perth with 81 Seats

[The Phonj]

Many rear facing seats are positioned at the location of wheel arches which make a forward facing seat unpopular due to the incursion of the wheel arch into the floor space.

2689 on 907.

2154 is another recent transfer to Beckenham, seen leaving Cannington Bus Station.

[Shoudy Chen]

I saw 3021 driving the route 907 along the Wellington St. has this bus transferred to Canning Vale or is it on loan?

Not the best photos but was very surprised to see them had to do a double take so quickly pulled over my guess is they’d be staying at Joondalup overnight or for a few days at least

I know after they get refurbished. They usually stay at Malaga before they head back to Geraldton.
