CDC Ballarat #130 has transfered to CDC Oakleigh for the upgraded 601/630 timetables from this week, now operating as CDC Oakleigh #133.

Meanwhile, CDC Ballarat #140 is on loan to CDC Wyndham, still operating as #140.

With 15 more Gemilangs coming online for Transdev this month so far (140, 141, 144-153, 159-161), we have now surpassed 1200 buses in Melbourne In PTV livery.

Recent Scania K310UB, Volgren Optimus arrivals for Ventura:
#1328 - Knox
#1329 - Oakleigh
#1332 - Ivanhoe

#1331 also about to make its debut shortly.

Other outstanding updates made tonight - Transdev #712 getting PTV livery in July after a short stint in white, while the demonstrator period for #801 ended, with it returning to CDC, now operating out of Oakleigh depot as their #136 (same number as used when based at Werribee depot despite independent numbering sequences between depots)

Kind Regards

maxy54 has spotted Ventura #1331 on the road this afternoon running Moorabbin depot Route 822. A surprise Scania addition to the depot's route fleet (as opposed to the couple of dozen in the rail fleet)

EDIT: I have also updated the list to note the previous withdrawal of Ventura #1072 (Dennis Dart SLF, Volgren "CR221L") a year ago & Ventura #788 (Scania L94UB, Volgren "CR224L") in July.

Kind Regards

I think Ventura are beginning to shuffle buses around and mix things up a bit, with the number of buses exchanged between Lilydale and Oakleigh for example.

214 is still listed as Seaford even though it's been at Pakky for a couple of years now.

In time for new V/Line's new Wangarratta - Seymour morning coach services starting tomorrow, Dysons #1074 (Scania K440EB 14.5m, Coach Concepts) in purple PTV colours.

A new batch of Scania K310UB Volgren, Optimuses have began arriving at CDC, including #210 & #211 for Ballarat & #150 for Oakleigh delivered so far.

Meanwhile, Ventura #17 (Metrotech Delta 250, Volgren CR221L) has been withdrawn from the route fleet at Ivanhoe Depot. It was spotted this morning on the shuttle between Glen Waverley Station & The Glen, now in an AOA for Uniqlo, presumably running from Knoxfield depot. It would appear the contact has been taken off HG Corporate Buses in the past week.

EDIT: I has been suggested to me by an internal source that Dandenong depot is running The Glen Shuttle, at least for now.

Kind Regards

A busy day for new sightings:

MMTB Busnut has reported new single door Optare Solos #1310 & #1311 for TeleBus services at Ventura's Lilydale depot.

New for Transdev is #174, seen by venturatiger on Warrigal Rd, East Malvern running an Altona bound 903. Apparently another 5 Scania K310UB Gemilagns are to be delivered too, in conjunction with the recent City upgrades.

Meanwhile, Thebusofdoom spotted CDC Wyndham #247 (Scania K310UB, Volgren "Optimus") on test on Leakes Rd, Laverton North.

Kind Regards

Apparently, according to the Dysons Facebook page 1078 and 1079 are registered so I assume they're in service, 1078 is BS04GQ and 1079 is BS04GR
