SUMMARY:BCSV: Driver Convoy to Yarra Glen
DESCRIPTION:The annual HCVCA display day was held at Yarra Glen Racecourse on Sunday 13 November 2016. \nSome operators and owners setup on the Saturday to secure prime parking postions. Many vehicles in Driver Bus Lines‘ hertiage fleet travelled in convoy from Mt Waverely to Yarra Glen on Saturday 12 November. \nGary Driver invited BCSV members and interstate guests to ride along if they wish. \nThe convoy of Driver Heritage vehicles left the Driver depot at 45 Rickett’s Road\, Mt Waverley at 1.15pm on Saturday 12th November. There will be an opportunity to change vehicles on the way. \nA current day coach will return attendees to the depot at around 5pm. \nUnfortunately the convoy route did not pass by stations on the Glen Waverley Line before entering the Monash Fwy. The Driver Depot (45 Ricketts Rd) is within modest walking distance of several bus routes for those without a car:\n693 (Oakelgh – Ferntree Gully – Belgrave)\n703 (Blackburn – Syndal – Monash Uni – Clayton – Bentleigh – Middle Brighton)\n733 (Box Hill – Mt Waverley – Monash Uni – Clayton – Oakleigh)\n737 (Croydon – Boronia – Knox City – Glen Waverley – Monash Uni)\n742 (Chadstone – Oakleigh – Glen Waverley – Eastland) \nUse Google Maps or the PTV journey planner to find your best route. \nThe convoy passed through Lilydale arond 2pm – if anyone wanted to board here for a shorter ride\, they were advised let us know. \nThis was a free event but donations were welcome. \nOn Sunday 13 November Driver provided a transfer aboard a regular coach to Yarra Glen\, departing their depot in Ricketts Rd at 8:30am and meeting the 9:14am train arrival at Lilydale. \nThe return journey from the display\, using the heritage vehicles\, left Yarra Glen at about 3pm and drop off at Lilydale Station before travelling back to the depot\, arriving around 4:30pm. \nThe 685 bus provided alternative options to/from Yarra Glen but operates to an infrequent timetable on Sundays.

SUMMARY:Hawthorn Tramways Trust Centenary Weekend (Melbourne & Ballarat)
DESCRIPTION:To celebrate the centenary of one of Melbourne’s original electric tramway operators\, John Whiting arranged for a special weekend of events in both Melbourne and Ballarat. Due to low bookings\, a third day of events in Bendigo sadly had to be cancelled. \nSaturday 23 April saw an all day tour of Melbourne onboard two Z1 trams\, which had been sadly been withdrawn from service after 40 years the previous day. The day included a lunch stop at  Melbourne Tram Museum at Hawthorn Tram Depot\, where John Phillips presented his AEC Regal Mk3 to acknowledge the role the depot played over several years as training facility for government bus drivers. \nOn Sunday 24 April we travelled to Ballarat on a convoy of 3 buses tirelessly arranged by the BCSV tours committee. At Ballarat there were options to visit the tram museums at Ballarat and Haddon (including rides) or enjoy a paddleboat ride on Lake Wendouree. \n
