Perth Excursion-January 2011

[Bus 400]

Here is a selection of TransPerth buses from my excursion to Perth for a bus tour. More information on these buses can be found by searching the fleet number on http://perthbus.info/.


On the morning of said tour, 2 MAN articulated buses turned up to our starting point at Barrack Street Jetty with half naked men & women. Most of us being bus enthusiasts, crossed the road to photograph the buses as this would be like the second time these buses have been to this stop.

This must be one of the first interstate threads where I actually recognised the location without looking at the caption! I picked the Barrack St Jetty straight away.

Very nice photos. Transperth seem to take a lot of pride in how their fleet is presented.

Yeah for the most part they arent too bad, although the presentation is handled by the relative operators on behalf of the PTA, being sWAn Transit, Southern Coast Transit and Path transit.

Big shake up of the entire TP fleet, with operator changes occurring in May with sWAn and Southern Coast taking over 1 Path Contract each.
