Murray Bridge Passenger Service

Post by LocoLes »

The manager this day [19Aug2004] granted permission to enter the Murray Bridge depot yard to photograph the fleet at home. There were many more buses in the yard but I only had enough film to gather these 6 gems. Some old favourites included. :mrgreen:

Was Riverside Bus Service a different company?

Years ago they used various coaches on the service to Adelaide.There were the Denning's,Domino Tourmaster,Freighter Lawton bodied Hino's,etc.

Thanks howlerbus. What year did they buy the company? Was Riverside orginally owned by Brian Densley?

Riverside was a small local operator in Murray Bridge who did scholl, charter and the local town bus service.

They had an ex Action MAN SL200 and 2 ex Adelaide Volvo B59's aswell as some old Bedfords. The fleet was slowly painted into the old Action livery carried by the SL200.

MBPS eventually bought out Riverside BS.
