2027-28 are definitely at Southern River so 2029-2039/42 should move next month if the regos aren’t extended for that group of 1600s

It's funny that SRDEP 1594-6 are already laid up while WPDEP 1591-2 are apparently still in service because all were from the same batch.

All the same, I am expecting 1429-34 to pop up NOR when more 18** OCs retire.

Also, when the ex-CAT OCs get decommissioned, which buses will go over to Freo CAT to replace 114-6? I believe these ones are older than 1591-1627. If anything, I daresay all Coachair-cooled units don't have much time left.

2027 is definitely still at KP for the moment, 2029 was transferred today to SR.

I’m definitely certain I’ve seen 2027 on a 219 and a 220

The Claisebrook CAT B7 “midis” aren’t that far off being transferred back to revenue running due to the CoP 10 year age limit on CAT buses so they should fill in some of the gaps

Expect to see those regos extended also. Just because the rego is coming up doesn't mean they'll be withdrawn.

The PTA are actually refunded an amount if a bus is Decommissioned and deregistered. So just because a registration is coming up doesn’t mean a bus will be Withdrawn.

In spite of retirements at Palmyra being up to 1250 presently, a few checks (1234, 1240 etc) suggest these buses are all still registered.

Can't recall the wording of the tender for their disposal, but given a 3rd party will be doing this off-site, it seems like this might be why.

1656 is looking fresh after its refurbishment.

swan transit has been awarded the Kalgoorlie regional town bus service contract commencing from the 10th of October

2097 has been refurbished

Don't think it's been mentioned (I search and saw nothing, so apologies if I missed it), but 1462 is also refurbished.

Cheers!

It has been mentioned more than a month ago, but that's okay.

Yeah clearly my search wasn't expansive enough... oops

Cheers!

I dropped my car off for a service this morning just up the road and it’s still there in a secured yard makes it very difficult to get any photos

2986 seen in service at Rockingham today, it and 2985 should set off the next cascade of 2253/54 to Swan, 2091/92 to Rocky, 1972/73 to Fremantle, and kill off 1251/53

Has 1251 & 53 been withdrawn yet? Just asking because I recall seeing 1251 still in service as of last Wednesday.

1251 is the lowest 12xx in service.

3244 is in service and has been photographed/sound recorded/videoed by myself and Mr. Gasman.

I think there's a reason why the withdrawn OC's are still registered. Time will tell though.

2029 and 2030 are at Southern River both at Armadale station running 245s & 250s

2029 just spotted on break at EQBS.

Is 2027 still at KPD? Which ones are 2029 and 2030 replacing?

Probably the early 1600 series.
