TP3001 / TP1256 minor collision 26 Feb 2019

[Perth Jaywalker]

TP3001 (950 to QEII Medical Centre) and TP1256 (Red CAT), following a fair amount of forward and reverse manoeuvring, after a minor collision (or scrape) on William St after Murray St around 8:40 am, 26 Feb 2019. I did not witness the moment of collision, only the manoeuvring afterwards which caused some delay for southbound traffic.

TP3001 took damage (cracked glass) to the window behind its rear door; not sure about TP1256.

Such a shame that a unique and only MAN artic is damaged in such a minor accident with a bus doing CAT services but hopefully it will be repaired and returned to normal service.

In this case, is the fact that 3001 has an AOA a good or a bad thing?

[Zidanehartono]

Now Apart that it has a new AOA in the aftermath, could this be the reason why TP3001's had its steering wheel changed?

[Off The Rails]

After recovering from how stupid this question is...

No. It was not changed because of the minor collision. Honestly, how the hell do you think a very minor collision affects a steering wheel? I'm baffled.

Cheers!
