Just a reminder to all people interested in going on this tour that bookings close on October the 20th.

1350 remained in the yard this afternoon; but was in traffic this morning.

1848 had its cash tray removed today.

imagine if there was a supp board with the writing 'see sign above'.....

Being fortunate enough to record a program which had the new Adelaide Metro ad in it; I encoded it onto computer and present it here for your enjoyment:

Encoded by The Phonj, ad is © Adelaide Metro. Used without permission.

I would say it is a purely Adelaide term; owing to their design.

Can anybody assist me... As some of you would be aware, the HBA is having an "Adelaide buses day" at the Heritage Park on the 12th November (advertised in SA section at: http://www.busaustralia.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=17264 ). I am coming over for the weekend; arriving in the morning of ...

Welcome to Adelaide, Alex. Hope you enjoy your stay. 1350 can (theoretically) be rostered on any run operated by Camden Park depot. Considering that while you will be here is during School Holidays, it could end up doing anything, but I'll do my best to try and work it out for you. Lately it seems t...

I believe that under the contract the service providers have with the PTD; the terminus must be reached at all times. Drivers that are not reaching the terminus before returning to depot or heading off to do other trips are doing the wrong thing. Having said this; I have seen a School Bus working ar...

The longest trip I've done would have been a 640 from Marino which then became a 110 at Marion through to the City and then out to Rostrevor as a 102; coming in at 2 and a bit hours. I wonder if any 110's are through-routed from 104's - that would be even longer! Of course a full lap of the Circle L...

gunzel42, you may be interested to know that I purchased Daimler Roadliner 212; with full intentions of bringing it back 'home' to Adelaide, and restoring it. It is in Qld at the moment as that is where it was purchased from; and it was recently brought to Heritage Park; which would be a good 200 km...

My guess is it would be either a change-over; or the shift which swaps an artic in the morning for a rigid so the artic can be used for driver instruction duties.

Good to see that they arrived safely. Are PETS planning on operating them as coupled sets when they do enter service? And when are they expected to enter service?

Definately going to PETS on my next visit to Perth now!

Listings of changes to bus, train and tram routes are shown in the annual reports of the relevant authorities (Municipal Tramways Trust, State Transport Austority, etc.); which can be researched in the State Library.

I think that the new J1 would be a longer route than the Circle Line - Adelaide to Elizabeth by train is 25 kms and Adelaide to Glenelg by tram is just over 11 kms. Considering that the J1 takes a longer route than these two journeys (If I remember rightly, the old TL3 was about 30 kms) I'm sure tha...

When one looks back to STA and even TA days; the rule for 'F' buses was "does not pick up on inbound journeys and does not set down on outbound journeys." It is quite possible that some drivers - particularly those that have been around for some time still follow that ruling. Many of the '...

Some selected Coles stores open at midnight, and I'm always surprised to see the number of people shopping at that time. Coles that open at midnight include the stores at Adelaide and Kurralta Park. The exceptions to the rule you mentioned generally are related to the size of the store; and the type...

J1R; the last 2 train replacements on the Noarlunga line; from Hallett Cove to Noarlunga Centre were both operated by Southlink, mainly using their fleet of NL202's.

371 and 372 both departed Glengowrie today just before 1:00pm. Look after the old girls over there and I hope to be able to ride them both at some stage in the future; over in Perth.

Did the air get charged full fare, or did it have the appropriate concession card to entitle it to a concession fare? Actually, once the trams could resume full service, you'd think the buses would have been pulled off. The air was going to be charged full fare; but as the instructions were not to ...

1319 added a bit of variety to the mix tonight on tram subs. Tram services resumed at about 8:00; however tram substitute buses continued to operate - carrying air around!

1350 has made a temporary move to Mile End; the plan being for it to assist with football services this Sunday. It will return to Camden Park.

If I remember rightly; 1350's rego is XKK-895. No XXX rego plates have been isssued yet - and it will be interesting to see if they do get released.

The use of a 4 digit route number (ie 3 numbers with a letter) system is good, if used correctly. There should be standard letters - ie X for express routes etc; with the rest of the letters being used for deviations or short workings. Having said that not all short workings need to have a subletter...

As it has been more than two days, it is open; anybody can post a photo.
