Adelaide Metro Routes By Depot

Post by Admet75 »

I have seen on the Queensland Section someone has listed Brisbane Transport Routes by Depot

Would someone like to have a go to compile a list of which depot services each route?

Thanks for everyone's input.

Torrens Transit engage in massive “global running” where any depot can operate any route, with any type of bus.

Busways have 2 depots on paper, but as Seaford has no workshops the fleet is constantly transferred between there and Lonsdale, meaning any bus can end up on either depots shifts. I don’t know how segregated certain routes are for either depot, but it’s irrelevant either way.

SouthLink have 2 depots with 1 workshops too, so any bus will invariably end up on any route too.

Shifts are also regularly recut by all operators, which would change any list made frequently. From my understanding, Brisbane City Council have very strictly segregated routes for each depot, and don’t recut shifts particularly often either.

Torrens Transit can do any route they want.

I was just thinking of Brisbane style fleet lettering/numbering yesterday

N = Newton
P = Port Adelaide
Mile End would be weird seeing ME5801 etc as the fleet number
M = Morphettville
S = St Agnes
E = Edinburgh North

N1677, P282, ME1015, M786, S1542, E837 would be interesting.

I think it unlikely Mile End would ever be “ME” considering the rest are all single letter. Maybe “H” (for Hackney, Mile End’s predecessor like STA had), or even “R” (Mile End depot is located on Railway Terrace).

Then you could also have
A - Aldgate
B - Mt Barker
L - Lonsdale
F - Seaford
