Re: All Other Victorian Bus Observations 2021

Hi,
Latrobe Valley Buslines is now part of the Dineen group
Victorian Touring Coaches have folded, the older vehicles not under lease have gone to Nuline/Bayside group , the newer vehicles to be auctioned.
Nuline/ Bayside took over the school runs still using the VTC name

Re: New Ventura Artic on route 788.

Hi, depending when you are coming to Melbourne
Optimus artics run route 788 from Capel Sound depot, can be on the run during the day
But Dandenong depot now has a couple as well, Mentone in peak is probably the best time to get them
There is at least 2 more awaiting delivery

Hi Tonyp
Would almost be 100% certain they will be the standard low entry buses, Scania K320UB's
Being bought by the Government they won't be the more expensive option

Re: Dyson Group News 2018

Transdev has notices on the wall for the Frankston shutdown

Perhaps Ventura will do the bulk of the Trams & Pakenham/Cranbourne themselves,providing they have the drivers, certainly would have have the buses in the school holidays
