Path OCs 1855-73 are among the first to be registered.

1466 is now the Midland gate shuttle, just seen it arriving into Midland station, branding has also been put in, looks like 1352 is now withdrawn

Not sure why bus Bus Australis forums is no longer communicating with the Tapatalk app anyway looks like a siding is being installed at Gosnells-Seaforth land has been cleared ballast waiting to laid and track fenced off not sure if this relates to the Denny Ave/Davis road project

Word on the street is 0109's time is up. It's to be scrapped.
If it's not a ZF, take it back!

It won't be much longer before we see B7s getting Joondalup CAT colours.
Given its age (≈13-14 years), I'm not surprised at all.

Re: PTA / Transperth & Private Observations - 2020
Do they have special livery too? I'd take it that 1824 and 1825 are now in storage awaiting decommissioning.Off The Rails wrote: ↑Thu Jun 18, 2020 4:25 amWord on the street (and on perthbus.info) that 2880 and 2881 are the current Joondalup CAT buses...Enviro 500 wrote: ↑Thu Jun 18, 2020 12:58 am

Saw a police escort consisting 1571, 1347 and 1348 on Great Eastern Highway this morning.
Re: PTA / Transperth & Private Observations - 2020
Should be a temporary arrangement until the 7900s are delivered and commissioned. The refurbishment of Joondalup depot should be about to get underway soon which includes the 4x 100kW EV charging stations. I’m regularly in Joondalup for work now so can check it out

Re: PTA / Transperth & Private Observations - 2020
Swan just seem to keep rolling in the new buses, which probably makes sense, given that they have the largest portion of currently active NHs (perthbus.info reading 70, making 64 excluding 1851-53 which haven't been seen for a while, 1824-25 which have been displaced from CATs by 2880-81, and 1352, displaced from the Midland Gate Shuttle by 1466) - 2885 and 2886 have been registered.

Re: PTA / Transperth & Private Observations - 2020
My count is 52 NHs currently active in the Perth metro, 53 if you include 1549. The 1800s are the oldest NHs so it makes sense that they're being killed off, though there should be a couple for Transdev in the near future as 1210 and 1211's remaining time dwindles, too.Bus Suggestions wrote: ↑Thu Jun 18, 2020 10:59 pm Swan just seem to keep rolling in the new buses, which probably makes sense, given that they have the largest portion of currently active NHs (perthbus.info reading 70, making 64 excluding 1851-53 which haven't been seen for a while, 1824-25 which have been displaced from CATs by 2880-81, and 1352, displaced from the Midland Gate Shuttle by 1466) - 2885 and 2886 have been registered.

Would love to see 7900s in Dolphin livery. The current Dolphins can be re-registered 0123-0126.TP1462 wrote: ↑Thu Jun 18, 2020 6:36 pm Should be a temporary arrangement until the 7900s are delivered and commissioned.

Re: PTA / Transperth & Private Observations - 2020
I wouldn't think so, given that (a) Joondalup Depot is the only depot set to receive electric charging stations, and (b) the current Dolphins have been refurbished and kept their RCCTS fleet numbers and regos.Enviro 500 wrote: ↑Fri Jun 19, 2020 12:01 amWould love to see 7900s in Dolphin livery.

Re: PTA / Transperth & Private Observations - 2020
Aye, and post-refurb the three dolphins are still locked to Rockingham shuttles anyway (and the fourth is used as a spare), so there's no point re-registering them. Rockingham shuttles they will be for the rest of their lives!Bus Suggestions wrote: ↑Fri Jun 19, 2020 12:15 amI wouldn't think so, given that (a) Joondalup Depot is the only depot set to receive electric charging stations, and (b) the current Dolphins have been refurbished and kept their RCCTS fleet numbers and regos.Enviro 500 wrote: ↑Fri Jun 19, 2020 12:01 amWould love to see 7900s in Dolphin livery.

Meanwhile, 2024 outta refurb, meaning 2025 is in.

Re: PTA / Transperth & Private Observations - 2020
Aset 17 is now refurb
1427, 1429 have also been refurbished. Paths refurbishments are also completed then?

Re: PTA / Transperth & Private Observations - 2020
2012 is back so their 2000s are done, I saw 1410 back today as well, meaning 1411-13 for Morley and 1430-34 are left to do. It's possible they're all away at the moment being done, but I think at least 1434 is still around, maybe 1433 too.
