The BCSV: Bus and Coach Society of Victoria will hold an afternoon tour on Sunday 23 June featuring a chance to sample the Optare Solo and Tempo buses along with a visit to Ventura’s Monbulk depot.

The tour will commence at Croydon Railway Station in outer eastern Melbourne at 1pm (awaiting the 1pm train arrival from Melbourne) and conclude around 4pm with a drop off at Croydon Station.

Fares are $5 for BCSV members and $10 for non-members.

Attendees should have lunch beforehand (or at least bring a packed lunch), although cold drinks will be available on the day.
