Nice seeing 1175 and it's good that it got preserved. What's the set of front wheel arches from ?

[@Transperthguy]

Why is there a wheel arch just lying at the back door 😭

[@DCI_Mage]

This is the definition of cursed transperth buses

[@DCI_Mage]

LOL ONE FELL

Glad I got the chance to drive a few of these Voith Mercs. Absolutely beautiful to drive, a real driver’s bus.

[@user-three-four-nine]

Never knew 1175 still had it's original yellow seats intact! I do wonder why it needs a full extra set of wheel arches, though...

[@nickgodfrey1973]

Because any extra parts that you can get your hands on are of value!! Never know when you might need em!

[@TheJeepWranglerMan023]

It was in Canarvon for its last few years of service and was never refurbished

[@jetstream454]

​@TheJeepWranglerMan023 Ohh!! I assume another NH replaced this one up there then?
If this came from Carnarvon I've ridden it at least once. I thought the yellow was familiar 😂

[@TheJeepWranglerMan023]

@@jetstream454This and 1176 were both replaced by 1205, 1206 and 1208 I believe which came from Geraldton

[@jetstream454]

@TheJeepWranglerMan023 Wait is that how many transit buses are in Carnarvon now??

[@syc9675]

You can hear the high revs coming from the back of the engine. When the Voith Transmission goes into high revs, I wonder if this increases the wear and tear?
