Meanwhile... AnyTrip was reporting that the 0020 T80 to Smithfield was done by a B12BLEA, as was the 2320 T80 ex Parramatta.

Cheers!

Excuse me while I try and figure out the message above... Perth will almost never see double deckers again. We do not have the high capacity, long distance routes that other cities have, like Sydney or Adelaide. Perth is too sparsely populated for any usefulness in deckers, however that suits artics...

I find it somewhat disappointing that the chosen option for route 233 in Piara Waters was the direct Armadale Rd option, rather than the Greywacke/Aspiri/Fanshawe option. Given that Armadale Rd is practically highway-grade through Piara Waters, there's no chance for a bus stop in that area. It mean...

Here's the timetables for the 4 new routes;

Timetable 17 (233)
Timetable 101 (338)
Timetable 122 (523)
Timetable 124 (544)

Cheers!

Looking into the magical crystal ball reveals...

Who knows?!? It doesn't start for another 3 and a half weeks. We'll see then.

Cheers!

Due to bushfires in the Kwinana area, routes 548 and 549 are deviating via a length route. 548 to Fremantle: Deviating via Office Rd, Mandurah Rd, Wellard Rd, Gilmore Ave, Sulphur Rd, Orelia Ave/Kwinana Stn/Johnson Rd, Thomas Rd, Kwinana Freeway, Rowley Rd, Wattleup Rd, Rockingham Rd to resume route...

Or, you know, has been extended/delayed due to the current world situation, like with many government contracts that isn't an urgent thing to do.

Cheers!

It would appear as though the board time is broken again. At the time of posting, it shows 15:30 when it is 16:50 for me.

Cheers!

Ah, no. They meant first Queensland built articulated Scania's for Ventura - the Nowra ones are built in Dandanong.
Confusing, hey?

Cheers!

Even if it did (which I VERY highly doubt it did), people (like us) would not have a clue, and the people in the know would not be allowed to say due to the company's social media policies.

Cheers!

Ah, I may have misunderstood the post, my bad. Here it is below. Cheers!

As sighted on the Volgren Facebook page, Volgren Queensland has built their first artic, a Optimus artic for Ventura on (possibly) a K360UA chassis.

Cheers!

I would assume that bus services are running as normal due to essential workers? I doubt that something like this would affect services (at most, it may require drivers/buses from other depots to run services, but that's at a stretch). Cheers! :wink: Then what would happen to those services if the ...

I doubt they will terminate at Cannington - the main use for the 202 and 203 (at least those two) is the connection it offers for East Cannington residents to go shopping at Carousel.

Cheers!

Some of you seem to forget that a windscreen, the only thing between a driver and an airborne obstacle, is incredibly hard to break being layered with 2 panes of glass... Although your 'tally' is nothing to brag about, as it is still technically a crime to smash a car window. I'd suggest keeping it ...

AnyTrip is also stating there is a Mercedes Benz OC500LE with a CB80 body currently doing a 178 to Cromer Heights (9:49am trip ex Wynyard), which is also showing as the operator being State Transit Northern Beaches.
Cheers!

Edit: Have been told this is 2541...

Looks like 3851 did a 200 from Bondi Junction at 7:05am, a 200 from Chatswood at 8:18am, and your 200 from Bondi Junction at 9:40am (thanks to AnyTrip), with AnyTrip also stating the operator as State Transit Eastern Suburbs. Don't entirely know if that's useful info though.

Cheers!

Enviro, what Bus1809 posted was the original deliveries for those buses. The fleet as it stands for the 2300's are; 2300-2308: Kalgoorlie 2309-2324: Malaga 2325-2362: Kalamunda 2363-2390: Redcliffe 2391-2399: Bayswater Obviously, the Malaga/Bayswater, and Redcliffe/Kalamunda fleet can swap due to br...

Kalamunda, as far as I know, has never done a 380. Welshpool did them before Redcliffe opened, but since then I don't think it has happened.

Cheers!

How come the 3 door B12's haven't/won't be allocated to Brookvale? Is it due to The Spit hills being too demanding and they struggle going up?

Cheers!

1615 is another SR Mo bus.

Cheers!

FL, he's saying that 1110 is the first bus with the Movember campaign that he's seen this year.

Cheers!

Pasha, 2016's been back at SR since May.

Other observations - SR's 3007 and 3026 seem to be getting more use compared to their previous permanent shifts, as both have been seen at Armadale Station around 5:30pm and 6:30pm in the last few days.

Cheers!

It was fixed for a few days, then I noticed yesterday it broke again. But as of now, the time appears to be correct again.

Cheers!
