The BCSV are planning an action-packed tour weekend for August.

On Saturday 4 August we will visit Castlemaine Bus Lines, acquired by the Whitmore Group in mid 2017.

After assembling in Melbourne’s north-west, everyone will travel to Castlemaine onboard Moonee Valley Coaches’ magnificently restored Austral Tourmaster, where we will spend the majority of the day enjoying the hospitality of Jamie Whitmore.

We will also pay brief visits to one or two other small operators during the day as a bonus – to be announced on the day.

Then on Sunday 5 August CDC Victoria will host us at their new super depot in Wyndham. (Details – https://bcsv.org.au/event/bcsv-august-tour-cdc-wyndham-depot/ )

Further details will be advised closer to the date.
