I was talking to a friend on the weekend who works at as a bus driver. One of the bus depots had a bomb threat. All the buses were being checked when they returned to the depot at the end of the shift. Apparently PTA/Transperth received the threat about 8:30 in the morning. It targeted a specific depot and manager. Transperth never contacted the depot until late afternoon. They told the manager it was a "credible" threat.

It was a Swan Transit depot. They have about a dozen all up I think

I know this was some time ago now, but for anyone interested, this was at Swan Transit's Beckenham depot.

It was a hoax and the culprit turned out to be some bloke who was P.O'd because his kid was fined or busted for doing something wrong - I forget the specifics. He was busted for it regardless.
