St Agnes MAN NL 202 256 has finally returned to service after over 12 months off the road.
O-Bahn Scania Artic 1101 is out of action,sitting at the front of Morphettville Depot

The State Government has today ruled out any possibility of extending the O-Bahn from Tea Tree Plaza to Golden Grove.
The Government said the option would destroy too many trees and cost too much money.
It would lead to the demolition of 41 homes as well as 290 trees.

Rail subs.

Morphettville Depot has been doing Outer North runs all week,especially in peaks including Artics.

Scania Hybrid 1900 which has been sitting outside Mile Ends workshops/depot for a long time, has been withdrawn and is now sitting at TSA yard at back of the Morphettville Depot.

They have been doing East-Wesy runs-so not sure now-maybe someone can clarify?

Fleet Lists has been updated today-this change is showing up as well as all the weekend changes.

The following Scania L94UB buses were transferred to Edinburgh North at the weekend.
1210-1216,1218-1222,1224,1225.
1217,1223,1226 and 1227 went to Newton to cover transfer of the 4 NL 232 buses to Mile End.

MAN NL 202 buses 1331-1332-1334 based at Morphettville have now had the prefix "R" placed in front of the fleet numbers.

1041 seems to be at Morphettville at the moment. As part of movement of buses at the weekend Mile End Scania Bustechs 1036-1044 were transferred to Morphettville Depot. Newton lost 4 of its NL232's(1784-1787) to Mile End in exchange for 4 of their Scania L94UB's. Another 13 were transferred to Edin...

Due to a shortage of buses and drivers a number of coach companies are being used to provide GA1-2-3 services from today. Kanga Coaches has quite a few buses out including off-peak runs. Sealink and Adelaide Coaches are also involved as well as some smaller companies. In addition to number of trips ...

As per the fleet lists-which you can look up anytime;-
803-805-1184-1185-1186-2207-2208-2209-2234-2823

Scania Artic 2823 is now R2823.
With Rail Subs continuing through to December all these R buses and more will be needed.(currently there are 10 "R" buses).

Morphettville probably starting to clear some busses as they need as much room as possible with Sealink coaches and additional buses moving in next weekend No movement as yet of withdrawn buses at Morphettville. As the number now going there is only 9(more to other depots I believe) nothing is like...

I doubt that Torrens Transit or Busways or Southlink have sufficent spare buses to enable a full shutdown of the Gawler Line.
With many buses out of service ,they barely have sufficent buses to cover am and pm peaks!

Morphettville Depot currently holds 177 buses in the yard.
It was built for a capacity of 250 buses.

I understood that Sealink Coaches were to be based at Mile End Depot.

Pretty good contract worth over 1 billion dollars,fleet over 700 buses.

Admin - Link should now work

Leon Byner on Five aa stated today that Torrens Transit are short of drivers and are forced to use Sealink Coach drivers to help them out.
Of course TT are stretched further with Rail Subs and tomorrow night Footy Express services.

These buses now have the prefix "R" in front of the fleet number.

Just past Elizabeth (Hewittson Road)-look up on Google maps
