AV210: White Ford XR6T HWP markings + spotties. I must say its a good looking vehicle.
Also saw four commodores all with UQ*** callsigns sitting at BP petrol station, Leach HWY Myaree last night @ roughly 11pm. Officers all enjoying a cup of coffee which was no doubtedly hard earned
alas did not have camera again. Was curious as to why UQ*** cars would be down this way.. they are maylands academy arent they? can someone shed some light??
Cheers
UQ cars are the Railway Police. - WT is the Joondalup academy - Hope im right on that.

UQ100-199= ROGS
UQ200-299= Railway Police, all based at Perth Central traino
I have seen UQ301 and 302 which belong to East Perth Lock-up and are used for prisoner transport, seen 301 on the way home from Gero a few weeks back.
Saw this arvo also..GE101 BF sedan with GDLB.

JA102-BF paddy wagon, which is interesting considering I was sent a pic of a brand new JA102 4WD Rodeo last week..
VC101-BF paddy wagon (missing it's from rego-plated mounted red and blues!)

Do the rail police ride the trains ? stupid question i know or do they only attend incidents that involve the train system.

Judging by the turn over of vehicles, perhaps they're out of stock

GS103 had small blue and red LED's mounted on the grille on either side of the ford badge when I saw it the other day. Very hard to see until they're operating. Maybe the new thing they're doing.
