To celebrate the 40th Anniversary of TeleBus pioneered by John Usher, we drove over TeleBus Areas 1, 2, 3 and 4 using representative vehicles used on the TeleBus service.

This was followed by a BBQ lunch at Ventura’s Lilydale depot.

In the afternoon, we explored Lilydale depot, our first visit since February 2010, with some short rides of other buses in the fleet.

There was be a brief visit to Croydon depot as well.

Costs were $10 for members and $20 for non members (U/18 half price).
