Well there’s a heap of regional NHs and diesel OC500s that haven’t been refurbished so not necessarily. PTA are always all over the place when it comes to refurbishments the first batch of B series are nearly 20 years old can you believe?! they haven’t had any major work done apart from the B3 upgrade

If the Regional Diesel OC500LEs go back to Perth for refurbishment will they send a replacement bus like they did with the old NHs?

I honestly don’t know it’s anyones guess the diesel OC500s do have much lower kilometres than their metro CNG equivalents

What a coincidence as I sighted 1230 on emergency rail replacement a few days ago.

2512 and 13s presence in Midvale could be cover ups for early B7 refurbishments.

Well if 3242 is going to KYP, maybe the reason why 2574 is at Midvale is to replace 1480.
Where did anyone say 3242 was going KYP?

Were Joondalup and Bayswater depots tasked with running the rail replacement shuttle for the Midland line this time?

Usually, which depots do rail replacement and for which lines?

Usually, I'm not sure. However, I suspect it would be a similar mix to this time, being Midvale and Malaga with few notable exceptions.

Beenyup: 3226
Karrinyup: 2544
Wangara: 2901

Keep in mind this was emergency rail replacement, so it was a case of mobilizing any available spare buses rather than having a set list.
I'd post any important, bus-related links I had, but they're outdated anyways.

I'm guessing a 14xx OC has taken it's place at Malaga.

1462 is back at Malaga, just on it doing a 60.

Although it is doing a Bayswater shift as a result of a change off with 1895.
