SUMMARY:BCSV: Farewell Ventura Northcoasts Tour
DESCRIPTION:After 25 years\, the Northcoast low floor era at Ventura Bus Lines in Melbourne’s east is coming to an end. \n\nPeaking at 33 units (31 Scania & 2 Mercedes) by the end of 2003\, just 8 of these buses remain in active service\, most now downgraded to school and rail replacement work. Fleet renewal continues at a steady rate\, with their days at Ventura sadly appearing numbered. \n\n\nVentura was second only to Metro Tasmania in favouring these buses of a large scale (Metro purchasing 42 Scania L94UB Northcoasts) and we feel it’s fitting for them to have a warm send-off from Melbourne. \n\nVentura management have kindly given the Bus & Coach Society of Victoria approval for a farewell tour\, to be held on Sunday 10 September using a variety of the remaining buses.\n\nOur day will focus on the traditional routes these buses were used on from their days at Oakleigh\, Knoxfield and Croydon (Mt Dandy Bus) depots. \n\nPICK UP LOCATIONS:\n* BUS 1 – Dandenong Station (V/Line bay) – 9am\n* BUS 2 – Ringwood Station (Maroondah Hwy bus bays) 8:50am\n* BUSES 1 & 2 – Oakleigh Station (south side/Johnson St) – 9:30am (meets 9:02am Pakenham train from Flinders St) \n\n\nPlease note buses replace trains Blackburn to Belgrave/Lilydale next weekend\n\nAttendees can switch vehicles throughout the day.\n\nBuses will return to Oakleigh about 4:30pm and Dandenong & Ringwood about 5pm\n\n\nLUNCH\nA 45 min lunch stop at Boronia will provided (own expense) \n\nFARES (cash-only)\nFree for BCSV members\n$15 for non-members ($10 for under 18s)\n\nNEW MEMBERS\nNew members can join on the day for 2023/2024 for a members’ fare ($0) PLUS receive back-copies of both the July & September editions of our Australia Bus Panorama magazine\n\nAnnual BCSV membership is $50 (adults) and $40 (concession) – https://bcsv.org.au/membership/\n\nRSVP\nPlease RSVP by sending an email to secretary@bcsv.org.au or calling Paul Kennelly (BCSV secretary) on (03) 9509 1593 \nSee less
