Re: 2026 SA Transport observations
In Tasmania there are poles looking similar to a Stobie Pole (but of a slightly different design) that I have seen in Hobart, and possibly other areas. Broken Hill (NSW) does have Stobie Poles but has close historical ties to SA - does it count?

I can answer the question for route TL10 - with a caveat.
Different types of bus have different destination equipment (manufacturer and capability). For an "STC" destination controller, the destination c.1999 for route TL10 read "Elizabeth/Station//Transit/Link" A single / means line change and a ...

Most likely built using spare sleeper stock that was lying around.
The bridge immediately on the Adelaide side of Mawson Lakes station was rebuilt during the Gawler line electrification shutdown, and single gauge sleepers were used on that project.

There are still three converter stations dating from the mid 1980's in service along the Glenelg line. I am unsure if these are capable of providing 750v. Their replacement would come at a cost, would the benefits of upgrading the line voltage outweigh the expenditure on new converter stations ...

Re: Will Busways' HOCL-NLs be next on the disposal list?
Going purely by order of acquisition, the gas MAN buses running with Torrens Transit are first on the chopping block (I guess that 1319 will be an early casualty once the MAN gas buses are retired, as it hardly seems economical maintaining a CNG facility for one bus), followed by the early 18.280's ...
