Could we see this 'through routed' with #630 one day? Both are operated by the same owner.Bradley wrote:Westrans Altona.

Re: New timetables for Route 606 - 12/12/2011.
The new 606 timetable towards Fishermans Bend has now appeared online.
Weekday services will operate at 40 minute intervals from 06:00 until 19:45. With the exception of the final trip, all services operate to Fishermans Bend
Saturday service will operate hourly between 08:00 & 19:30, between Elsternwick & Bay Street Port Melbourne.
Sunday service will operate hourly between 09:00 & 19:30, between Elsternwick & Bay Street Port Melbourne.
I note the service will operate on public holidays unlike 561's recent upgrade - but maybe this is the reason for finishing at 19:30 instead of 21:00?
Kind Regards
Craig

Re: New timetables for Route 606 - 12/12/2011.
Given that the 606 will terminate at Elsternwick Station rather than Elwood and they are on very different frequencies(the 630 has a very mixed frequency including Saturdays 25 minute frequency!), it would seem unlikely, although both routes share Bent Avenue Elwood. If it were to happen there would be a major rejig of the 630.tranzitjim wrote:Could we see this 'through routed' with #630 one day? Both are operated by the same owner.Bradley wrote:Westrans Altona.

The 606 is an interesting location as it is almost midway between the Altona and Oakleigh depots!
yolo seems to be a bit of a trend!

Re: New timetables for Route 606 - 12/12/2011.
Could they extend #606 over the Westgate?
I would say that some direct bus link between Newport and Fishermens bend which goes over the bridge.
