Further to "maxy54's" post re: the Route 612 changes commencing 4th August, 2017.....
It is confirmed that:
14:35 ex Chadstone to Camberwell at 15:03 DOES continue on to Box Hill, arriving at 15:48 (as previous). It is thought that the trip has been broken up into 2 parts, due to the wait time for school students at Camberwell.
The 17:35 ex Chadstone to Sunbury Cresent / Union Road (Surrey Hills) is STILL continuing to operate, and for some unknown reason, has dropped off the system. Arrival into Union Road is 18:18.
Cheers.

On Sunday 26 November, Route 385 will change while we get ready for the Yan Yean Road upgrades. Buses will now travel along Diamond Creek Road and Plenty River Drive instead of Mackelroy Road, Treetop Terrace and Sugar Gum Boulevard.

Soon, I guess.

The final plan for the duplication of Yan Yean Rd will remove the ability for the right turn into Mackelroy Rd, but hopefully they can use the new signalised intersection planned for Memorial Dr in the medium term? Although I am not sure if Butlers Rd would be suitable for buses?
Hopefully the new 385 map is a little more accurate than the current one in Apollo Parkways? Houston, we have a problem!

675 Chirnside Park to Mooroolbark: First bus 0626, last bus 1804
675 Mooroolbark to Chirnside Park: First bus 0638, last bus 1905
What exactly does the driver of the 675 do at either terminus? Twiddle their thumbs for 50-odd minutes waiting to go back on their eight-minute journey? The 675 is hourly for the most part, and only runs Monday to Friday.
PTV wrote:Route 484 will stop at the shops
From Sunday 17 December, catching the bus from Broadmeadows shopping centre will be easier. Route 484 will stop at the shopping centre in both directions.
For details, call 1800 800 007 or see Route 484 information.

The new 823 timetable has been released, unfortunately they've kept the hourly weekday only timetable. Link - https://www.ptv.vic.gov.au/route/view/11653/
Ventura confirmed via Twitter that the upgraded 828 Saturday timetable, with a 40 min daytime headway, is on hold for now. The online timetable has since reverted to the 4 December 2016 version.
In other news, fulfilling another 2014 state election promise, extra weekend trips on 246 (Elsternwick - Clifton Hill) & 606 (Elsternwick - Fishermans Bend) will be introduced at the end of the month from 29 October 2017.
Improvements include:
* New return Saturday night 246 trip at 23:50 ex Clifton Hill & 00:35 ex Elsternwick
* 246 Sunday early morning & Sunday evening headway boosted from 40 mins to 30 mins
* 246 Sunday daytime headway boosted from 20 mins to 15 mins
* 606 gains new weekend return trip at 19:30 ex Bay St & 20:00 ex Elsternwick, plus new 07:00 ex Elsternwick & 07:30 ex Bay St on Saturdays, but otherwise remains hourly
Personally I'd have thought 606 route would be ripe for a more useful half-hourly weekend timetable as well.
Kind Regards
Craig
Passengers can walk to new stops located on Mackelroy Road.
