Broadmeadows Bus Service new buses

[timmy1966]

Does anyone have any photos or info about their new buses, namely the King Longs and what routes they run on and the livery also please......Also on another note some pics of the new Ventura ex NT Buslink units and are these route service buses or just rail?

The Broadmeadows King Long buses are for special need school contracts in the northern suburbs.
The Ventura ex Buslink and mine buses are charter and private school contract buses.They are mainly used for a school in the Narre Warren south area.

Some Ventura ones can also see PM rail service if required. Drivers are sometimes instructed to go to a railway station, such as Westall, after completing a school run in order to work one peak hour trip.
And with the big shutdowns coming up in April one can expect to see a number of Ventura's school coaches out on rail as nearly 600 buses will be required to service the needs of both Metro and V/Line on some days.
