GTM Volvo B10M's 16,54,66 & 68

Postby The Cap a tan » Sat Jul 14, 2012 7:18 pm

Today saw the return of Volvo B10M's GTM 16, 54, 66 and 68 to Moorabbin, after being on loan due to increased frequencies in the last timetable upgrade. They have since been replaced by four Volvo B7R's in the new Ventura livery.
Below are a few pics just before departing Lilydale depot this morning with suitable destinations,

I've been on these many times, they're not that bad and in brilliant condition.

They aren't too bad now, when they first came to Lilydale a couple of them had mould all over the ceiling and rotting food behind the seats. They were returned cleaner than when we got them. Poor old 54 has seen better days, she needs some work, just a bit slow.

Those ones are 1987 models, hence they are MkII's.
