(1) Four. On other occasions it has been withdrawn from service prior to the trip commencing. (2-3) On two of the four occasions when the new Prospector Train has broken down, buses were chartered from a Merredin based operator, as this option provided the earliest possible arrival time for passengers. These coaches were air conditioned and were equipped with an entertainment system. (4) All Transwa customers are covered for accident and public liability when travelling in vehicles chartered by Public Transport Authority (a) Not applicable.
