3243 in service.
I'd post any important, bus-related links I had, but they're outdated anyways.

It’s actually a B12 they were using artics for the transfer so they could carry more pax whilst maintaining social distancing and meeting all Covid requirements

Yep the latest cascade saw 2984 go to Rocky, which displaced 2252 to Swan, 2093 to Rocky, 1974 to Freo which replaced 1250

As far as I know the 'Not in service' text on all Transdev buses have been changed. Here's an example:

Haven't seen 2027 in the south yet. But I have taken 2025 on 206 and spotted 2028 leaving Thornlie station.

It will probably move to SR once more 16xx OCs are withdrawn from service along with the 2030s series moving down there too when the time comes.

1600-01, 03-09 & 11-14 regos all expire on at the end of next month so we could see another batch of Karrinyup OCs replace that batch 1615 & up have all had their regos extended until end of June next year
