Transperth 1362 running 24T, exploded tyre..

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.

Staggering nerditude.

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.
