So only 1472-79 left in Perth from original batch of B7s?

Will 2300-2308 remain in Kalgoorlie even though Kalgoorlie is changing from Path Transit to Swan Transit next month.

of course all bus are own by PTA. remember some OC diesel at Bunbury or Busselton was from Path Transit and Transdev when they were at Transperth not from SWan.

Pretty sure they will.

If Path Transit had retained the contract they would have moved 2309-13 out to Kal. 1467-71 would probably have stayed in Midland.

Spotted 2981 on a 558 heading to Mandurah tonight.

[Bus-1809]

I'd assume a Mandurah B7 has probably died in Freo at a guess. Lucky to get 2981 I reckon!

[Squiddy]

Totally fair swap methinks! Can we keep it dad?

2029 and 2030 are at Southern River both at Armadale station running 245s & 250s

You must be able to see into the future as 2030 is currently trundling along Karrinyup Rd running a 425.

B8 2586 replaced 2028 when it went to SR too.

All I can say is 2029 should definately still be at SR as I rode on it doing a 220 on Saturday. Still unsure about 2027s fate so I've listed it still at KP for now.

[Enviro 500]

Can confirm 2197 is at Canning Vale, saw it doing the 930T to the city earlier this afternoon.

Now I just saw it on 212 going towards Huntingdale.

i think the reason why they delayed KYP gas to SR or return some KYP bus that went to SR is maybe because karrinyup need some replacement bus from other depo to replace that. is a bit different with how the rockingham and karrinyup swap which already have a pattern of the bus of swapping.

i am thinking will some 32xx still delivery to joondalup after this or it can be delivery to other depot (SR, Midvale to replace some early b7 or even Karrinyup) considering all the NH in there already replace)

Newbies 2989, 2990 and 2992 sighted at Trucks Centre Kewdale.

2579 now wearing an AOA for HIF.

[Bus-1809]

^^^ 2991's there too

[Enviro 500]

Looks like 29** series is about to finish. What comes after 2999? 3300?

[the c man]

1470 back from refurb

[Zidanehartono]

1657 now in standard Transperth livery, possibly awaiting to be refurbished.

Horizons West 79 (ex-Transperth 1559) was sighted on its first run today wearing its operator's corporate livery similar to those on their modern BCI's.

Saw 1970 on a 659. I'm guessing it may have wounded up in Freo, unless if Rocky buses do some of the stadium runs?

It varies quite a lot.
After the initial Stadium opening, it was very common to see Rockingham buses, and even Joondalup or Mandurah buses turn up to run the special event services - this included articulated buses once those began to be used for the Special Event services (658/9) run by Transdev. At times, these visiting buses even appeared on suburban work while events were on at the Stadium.

There are many reasons why other depots could be assisting with special event services when the Saturday vehicle requirement would be much lower than a weekday; for example, with large events like this, there is a need to concentrate articulated buses to cope with huge numbers of passengers both before and after the event.

[komen_413]

Thanks for the info.

During tonight's obvs at the stadium I don't recall seeing any other Rocky or MH buses doing any of the stadium runs, so that's why I had the thought that 1970 may have moved to Freo.
