So far:
1656-1659 Perth>Albany
1442-1445 Albany>Port Hedland
2119-2122 in Perth getting refurbished.
What’s next?
There might be some more old Volvos going bush very soon to cover for more regional OC Diesels getting refurbished.

Most probably headed back to normal service. 2881 may be next.

Apologies, maybe I should've noted that because it was in normal livery, I meant it was in normal service.
I'd post any important, bus-related links I had, but they're outdated anyways.

Surprised nobody has sighted/reported Joondalup B8 pair 2677 and 2678, which are both currently on-loan to Karrinyup and spending a fair amount of time on 998/999’s. Both of these wear full AOA’s.

KP does circles too? I thought only MC did so.

If KP has been doing shifts on circles, is this a recent thing or has it been that way since Path Transit days?

Nothing really new. I've ever seen 1475 on 507.

Care to flesh out why you think a Midvale bus in the Southern River area is not unusual? Your example refers to the Canning area.

Midvale bus in southeast region has been sighted before. Not to mention Canning and Southern River appear to be one mega package at times.

By that logic, this thread, and the countless other threads chronicling unusual fleet movements are completely redundant, because "it's happened before".

If a Midvale bus & driver go out to do Canning or Southern River contract runs, that is unusual. The same was true when 1805 and 1798 each spent an evening lurking around Rocky a few years back, when ordinarily, that particular fleet type was kept on an extremely tight leash.

Sorry to bring up a post from the last page...

There's no fixed buses for the Tent Shuttles as far as I'm aware. It's just whatever is available at the time. I've seen 80 on the Tents before, just for reference.
If it's not a ZF, take it back!

Interesting. Which route was 2599 serving?

Bus stop pole on Asquith Street before Adderley Street eastbound still says 27 goes to WACA. Route details however have been updated to reflect the new terminus at Terrace Road.

The updating of the totems or even the information on them isn't always that well-executed. Describing a 114 or 115 on the city-bound side of Riseley St or Canning Hwy as "Limited Stops" is somewhat misleading, for instance.

Still, it beats the Darwin approach to the provision of information and for that we should be grateful... Sticky-taping a new timetable over the old one, or just not telling anyone the timetable changed at all are considered acceptable ways to keep the public up-to-date.

Port Hedland’s 2119, 2120 and 2121 have been refurbished. Haven’t seen 2122. Must be getting refurbished.

Wonder where they'll be sent out to. Unlikely 1656-9 will be recalled from the bush.

Still in their TransHedland livery. So they will neither return to Port Hedland or change regional livery.

Was this your observation, or did you (like usual) take your observation from perthbus.info? Very original stealing someone else's observation :roll:

Cheers! :roll:
Officially the last person to tag off the 381 - 20/5/16.
Second last person to tag off the last timetabled 16 - 23/08/19.
Last person to tag off a Transdev Joondalup service - 19/1/20.

I’m thinking they might do regional diesels going to Perth from north to south for refurbishment.
