Hi! Transperth buses are typically coordinated through a central radio dispatch control room to ensure efficient communication and management across the network. The talkgroup IDs you've noticed are likely part of this centralized system, allowing drivers to communicate directly with dispatch for u...

Network Control frequencies or Rail Security?

No, there is no central control room as Transperth is only the brand banner that the buses operate under... From memory 801xx is PATH Transit 802xx is Swan Transit 800xx is Transdev. The last digit is what defines who's talkgroup it is (or what "Channel"). CCR is the callsign for the PATH ...

Shift Numbers now have to be called as "November Three One", "Charlie Seven","Sierra Two One" as apposed to "C20", "N4", S18" etc... Metro Control is also now known as Network Control. "Driver No's" are the service number, which change...

Well I "figured" it out from when a Mandurah unit had an open channel and base alerted to which WT is was, put 2 and 2 together and I assume that they're handhelds. The selcall correlates to their staff number, if you look on their name badge it has a 5 digit number, same as the 5 digit C...

Interesting to see that Butler ended up with the old Perth 2nd!

Great shots, thanks for sharing!

Hi all, Thought it would be worth firing up my updated list for Perth's Bus network. Swan Transit# : Southern River 474.7500 Beckenham, Canning Vale: 473.2500 Circle Route*: 472.7500 Karrinyup, Beenyup: 470.3750 Ellenbrook, Midvale, Mundaring: 470.6750 Ellenbrook, Midvale, Mundaring**: 472.9750 Nort...

Main Power Distribution Board decided it wanted to go on strike, and therefore did so with a rather large bang.

One of my sources has informed me, that the problem has been found and rectified. I'm not going to say anymore just yet... We'll wait and see if there are any more problems in the near future first.

If this is the one I think it is, I've heard from various sources that this one was an electrical fire & had nothing to do with the previous fires. Apparently the engine was undamaged

Driver would have had prior permission from "Mobile 4" (circle route manager) to run 000 to another point on the circle route to make up time due to late running

That's rather interesting, as I find the OC's have a lot more room than the B7RLE's, but then again, that could just be my imagination

Volvo's and legroom? You must be joking? :oops: I'd have no issues standing next to the 7 gas tanks during a bus fire. Simple fact is, they are designed to be able to withstand pretty much anything. They won't explode under the conditions of a bus fire. Those OC's are a bloody good bus, when they ar...
