You need to send an email to Dave C at SA fleets so he can update TT Fleet List

SL202 1611 was behind a tow truck heading north on Brighton Rd at 1pm today. It's been stripped of parts and heading off to its final resting place.

1007 sounded a bit strange this morning. While accelerating, it sounded almost “hollow” and higher pitched than normal. Struggled quite a bit while going uphill, too.

Now we just need Frome St at North Tce & North Tce at Gawler Place to follow! Sad that the latter will probably be there at least a year :cry:

That scaffolding made a good photo point earlier in the year.

Bus 1967 was displaying Happy Easter on its desto this morning. Hadn't seen that narrative on a bus before.

Happy Easter is regularly shown on buses around this time of year. In fact I've seen it quite regularly for the last month or two. You probably wouldn't see it very often in the south or the hills though :wink:

TT #955 has been doing Morphetville shifts over the past week or so. Fleet list says it’s a St Agnes bus so maybe it’s been moved/transferred

I have heard this as well, but I believe 2206 is headed for Port Augusta. Have heard that 1501 is leaving Adelaide Metro to head for Port Pirie. Can anyone confirm this?

1501 and 1502 are going North to replace buses that are being retired.
NL 202 230 and 231 are going to Mt Gambier.
