This is a short, (5 minute) special interest video on a specific bus, Transperth's MAN articulated, compressed natural gas bus, plate number TP3001, fleet number 3001. This is in response to quite a few Bus Enthusiasts who have expressed interest in this rather unique vehicle. I was introduced to this bus about 23rd January 2008, before it went into service, being one of the team which picked it up, brand new, from the dealer. It was my job, as Driving Instructor, to familiarise myself with it, and then to write a Drivers Introduction, a temporary induction manual, so drivers could be authorised to drive it before it went into revenue service. My photos in this video show it before it carried its first passenger. We get to see the bus exterior, the driver's controls and the interior, along with other interesting details. The music, once again, is from Purple-Planet who license their music for RU-vid providing credit is given here in the description: www.purple-planet.com. Their generous support enables these productions to be produced.

Interesting to note the either Diesel O305 or 008 in the back corner of the depot! Something else of interest is that the Brisbane MAN Gas Buses (18.310's and NG313's) have their dashboard fuel gauge connected to the CNG pressure, where 3001's was overridden and replaced with the standard aftermarket digital CNG Pressure Meter in use at the time on other CNG buses

Pretty sure when I've been onboard 3001 the fuel gauge still works as usual ... but it has been a few years. Another interesting difference compared is the front door on the Brisbane units can be opened at any time, when moving, stationary, with or without the park brake applied, without any alarms going off. So it's still quite typical to see drivers pop the doors open as they're arriving at a stop. Those buses also retained the controls for the retarder - although this isn't fitted on the rigids, interestingly.

You've really got some incredible stories from your days at PATH! If you feel like continuing this series of rare bus videos, maybe consider making a video on 3002?

3002 wasn't at PATH when Terry was there.

It’s now parked up at Morley with 3002, I never had one shift with this where it didn’t break down. Beautiful bus to drive though.

Terry! You could teach a lot of documentary film makers how to go about laying sound tracks properly without all the crashing, unsuitable music masking the narration. Youve made another good one Terry. 😊

no, terry hasn't worked at sWAn , he moved on to CATs before 3002 entered service.

Honestly, I don't get why this bus is still in service. It's pretty useless and unreliable. I believe it will be withdrawn next year. It's still my favourite though.

Thanks. What a great idea. I have some photos I took, and a bit of old Super 8 from 1979 which "accidently" featured buses. (I stated driving in 1981, so it was current for me.
