Volvos 1487, 1488 and 1489 now working out of Midvale. Time must be short for 1831 at Midvale, if not already gone.

1831 arrived home at Karrinyup after the peak today which was Midvales last 405NH.

623 had a sleepover at Baysie last night & ended up on some 'erbert's first part. Very narse indeed!

3005 visited Baysie this morning. Rumour had it that it was for a promo for Brazilian minges or some such. It's out on Footie specials this evening with a former Karrinyup TC at the helm.

I thought 1333 was still at Midvale, I can't keep track of all these transfers.

1333 went to Shenton Park about 3-4 weeks back.

3003, 04, 05 and 06 all at the Footy tonight.

Here's a crappy iPhone shot of 3006 tonight. Although not visible in this shot those with a keen eye will note that the Volvo badge near the front doors is lower down on the silver skirting on this bus.

Saw 552 on Stirling Highway today running a school route. However I believe it has a new desto in the rear from a Mercedes.

Because its from Midvale or Welshpool????

Bus-1809 · Post by **Bus-1809** » Sun Mar 18, 2012 3:47 am

Um, no it's from Canning Vale. Canning Vale do short circles starting from Stirling in the AM Peak, therefore it is does not constitute a random working.

I disagree former training buses 552, 572 and 581 have been returned to active service at Welshpool and they now cover a short Circle working in the morning so I would say yes...although it's now a daily occurance it's certainly different. As already mentioned 64 and ex SCT's 641 are also at WP.

3005 was doing 98's last week UWA-Morley I believe.

6 carriage A series trains working post-bike-hike special services today, running limited stops from Esplanade to Clarkson and Rockingham.

Heard there were also Esplanade-Mandurah expresses with the same train type earlier today, but that was at half-past four in the morning.

Post by **perthbus** » Sun Mar 18, 2012 10:49 pm

1889 came through Freo this evening doing a 98 Circle...I thought this was a Baysie bus??

3005 was also out in Freo seen doing a 99.

What part of sighting 3005 on the Circleroute is unusual

Post by **Mr OC Benz** » Mon Mar 19, 2012 12:16 am

Yeah 1889 is a Baysie bus. It is a heap of dog crap though.

3005 is fairly new and on Circle on a Sunday! Come on, why do we have to pick on each other when someone states an observation and someone has to protest it as not being unusual. Unless it has already been mentioned or if the person is unsure, it doesn't hurt to friendly remind them if it has been mentioned already or if it is not unusual. It's making everyone in this thread look like suspects. If you're not sure, just say you're not sure if its unusual or not and if you think you can protest a post not being unusual, but you're not 100% sure, don't bother posting.

Although this has been the case for a few months now, but hasn't actually been mentioned (I think), 1870 is at Malaga. Not sure what went to Bayswater in return if anything.
