Re: WA Bus Observations 2024

With a claim as brazen and statistically impossible as that, the general ruling is “photos or it didn’t happen.” Along with that, given your track record of unsupported, debunked, and misleading “observations,” Zidane wasn’t completely in the wrong to call you out in that way. If this is counted as ...

Re: Next generation railcars for Transperth

C-Series set 130 has been daylight testing between Whitfords and Cockburn over the past two weeks or so, stopping at every station and opening doors opposite from the platform so nobody gets on. Has caused some confusion and head turns on the platform, but other than the squeaky brakes (which are me...

Nice pictures, shame about the livery... I'd also like to see the interiors, are they low-floor until the rear-most door, or already raised through the turntable as in the Custom CB60/Evo II/CB80 combo artics? The windowline suggests that the latter is the case, but this is Bustech we're talking abo...

2559 is the first B7 to receive new SCVs, bringing the total number of buses with new SCVs to 18 (accounting for about a third of Beenyup's fleet).

Re: SmartRider Upgrade

RE: my previous listing above…
Transperth have since gone ahead and put the new SCVs on more than the 10 initially stated to be trialled. Most Beenyup B8s appear to have them installed, apart from 3201, 3203-06, 3209-10, and 3213-16, although may receive them in the coming month anyway.
