WA News.

Updates to www.perthbus.info on 24 October 2006:

Preserved WA buses list added. In preparing the list, I noticed that the following hadn't been recorded in the database:

• Preserved in Kalamunda Bus Service livery by Pat Hallahan (Kalamunda) for some years now is KM23820 Beford SB/CAC which is ex-MTT (162) ex-Metro (162). This bus is stored at the Bus Preservation Society of WA's Whiteman Park Depot.
• Dennis Lancet IV J7/Boltons ex-MTT (405) ex-North Beach Bus Co (1) owned by John Young (Woorooloo).
• Leyland Tiger Cub PSUC1/13/Freighters ex-MTT (753) owned by Dave Churn (Middle Swan), registered MTT753.
• Recently acquired by the Bus Preservation Society of WA (Whiteman Park) is a Bedford OB/CAC of unknown origin. Last known use was as a Moora school bus.

WAGRRS/Westrail

• From photo: White WA20 was registered 3577, and carried service branding "Railway Departments Road Service"
• Later service branding was "Railway Road Service"
• From photo: Dyson Landliner was registered 10177 with fleet no (RV41)
• From Rattler 75 & photo: converted Dyson Cheetahs became trailers for Foden prime-movers (F2) & (F3); therefore converted Dyson Landliner (RV41) became trailer for Foden prime mover (F1). Photos show that when converted the Cheetahs (and presumably the Landliner also) were shortened by 2 windows bays.
