 Like all regional bus services in WA the operation survives on Perth cast offs, perhaps one reason for the all pervading silver and green livery. At least they change the fleetnames - usually! The Kalgoorlie-Border operation is aimed at home to school transport.The Kalgoorlie-Border Community High School a major focus. Seen at the High School in the afternoon is 1359 (TP1359) a standard bug-eyed Volgren CR225L bodied Mercedes O405NH new in 2002 and transferred to TransGoldfields in February 2018. Withdrawn by the end of 2020 the bus was transferred back to Perth and stored, but back in service in the capital by Mach 2023 at 21 years of age! All these pictures were taken in November 2018.

 Newer kit, also seen at the school, was 2011 Volgren CR228L bodied Mercedes OC500LE 1453 (TP1453) transferred here when only two years old. In 2021 it went to Busy Blue Bus's TransEsperance fleet later moving to the Konjonup Bus Service, still under the TransEsperance banner but 500km from Esperance!
