2542 joining the 'mo buses.
I'd post any important, bus-related links I had, but they're outdated anyways.

Yep it was moved there yesterday with 1960 (saw both at Freo on Rockingham routes), while 2077 and 2078 finally arrived at Rockingham and spotted in service this afternoon

That was me driving 2524. Had it for awhile now, definitely not refurb as we're only upto 1475, which is due to come back soon

Let's keep it in mind there are service improvements about to kick in for CATs, and again early next year. I'd say it's to allow for the improvements rather than knocking off the few B7s in the CAT fleet.

There is another B8 parked at the back of Malaga depot that could be heading off for the CATs next.

I couldn't see the rego of it properly but the green stripe at the front where the Volvo badge is has been painted silver just like the other B8s in the CAT fleet.

what i thinking is why they take 27x from Path. Surely they can take 29x from Transdev (from Freo or Rocky). (if they need just b8)

They could, but if Transdev are without spares presently, that isn't a workable solution.

2244 on 990. Does it mean it has left CVDEP for good?

The Transperth and ‘Bus operated by’ decals all need to be moved further forward to avoid being partially obscured by advertising, or better still relocated to above the front entry door.

There’s really no benefit to having the ‘Bus operated by’ decals as on a fair % of the fleet, it’s covered by APN/JCD advertising.
