Bus 1967 (http://perthbus.info/report.php?vid=TP1967) in Baldivis (https://www.google.com.au/maps/preview/place/Baldivis+WA/@-32.3310518,115.8330961,13z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m2!3m1!1s0x2a328f9cf9e7ac77:0x504f0b535df3e80), since the rail line this suburb has boomed. But the 564 was the original route (numbered 123 before the Mandurah line opened). Now this suburb is serviced by 3 routes, with plans for another 1 or 2 routes.

This station started out as 2 platforms when the Mandurah line opened 5 years ago. Now with the City of Rockingham expanding, so has this station.

Then to finish this thread off, we have Bus 2234 (http://perthbus.info/report.php?vid=TP2234) in the most woop woop place of Pinjarra (https://www.google.com.au/maps/preview/place/Pinjarra+WA/@-32.6280881,115.8658352,14z/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x2a326fbf50d6d253:0x504f0b535df4f30). According to a Transperth driver this was one of the first towns started in Western Australia (before Perth). But by the looks of things, this area will kick off in coming years.


Hoppe you guys & gals enjoyed these photos, next up is a selection of photos from a special event done for the closure of the Wellington Street Bus Station.
