Here's a look back to a few years ago to when some 'erbert drove this service whilst working for Redlion who operated the service under contract to Transwa. More recently, Go West had been operating the service.
The service departed twice weekly from Albany, travelling approx 300km north-east to Ravensthorpe where it connected with the Transwa Perth-Esperance service. Stops along the way included Wellstead, Boxwood Hill (with a connection to Bremer Bay if required), Gairdner, and Jerramungup (with a connection to Hopetoun if required).
A contender for Australia's longest journey by Piecart, necessity required me to run the service with Mercedes-Benz LO812 / PMCA M9 ' - seen at Ravensthorpe with my change-off bus for the return trip the next morning, O303-3 M51 and Transwa 15:

Whilst the Transwa driver continued on to Esperance, the Redlion driver relaxed at the Ravensthorrpe Hilton, visible in the background of this photo of Mercedes-Benz LO814D / ABDenning M53:
