Our journey into the city today was completed on foot, thanks to the front left tyre of our bus exploding as it went along Thomas St. Yay! It was actually pretty loud, the blowout being accompanied by a bunch of screaming from other passengers wondering what happened.

I think you meant to post this to the Perth Transperth Bus Spotters Group.

Do you think they would also be interested in this rather smashing photo of UBQ-695 in hydraulic shutdown across Wellington St at 8:30AM one weekday morning? :D

Speaking of slinky buses, I saw a new-style Mercedes slinky bus on Thursday or Friday. Exciting stuff.

Ahh yes, TP-3001. It's apparently very nice.

Apart from your tautology (Perth Transperth), last year the moderators of the group kicked everyone out who wasn't a bus driver. Perhaps you meant http://www.busaustralia.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=7 instead?

I don't know, although my best guess is they feared their bosses had joined.

OOohoh excitement.

Completely separately, I saw the QANTAS plane with the different wing tips the other week (I was in a train, it was going overhead on approach to Tullermarine). I was all "Hey, they're the wing tips from the bright red 747".

Just wanted to share :D

Haha, I drove past that bus after that happenned.

The bus driver looked unimpressed (as did I, because changing lanes at that point to get around it was a pain in the arse).

Blowouts are really loud in cars to, or at least in mine, given I heard it over my music when doing 120km/h, so there was a lot of road noise too.
