SUMMARY:BCSV September Tour Day 1: Whitmore's MAN Farewell (Bendigo)
DESCRIPTION:After negotiations with local Bendigo operator Whitmore’s\, the Bus and Coach Society of Victoria (BCSV) were able to secure an afternoon farewell tour for their MAN 10.180\, Ansair Tasmaina\, originally new to Metro Tasmania in 1992 as #512. \nThis bus was recently withdrawn from PTV duties and replaced with a Mercedes Benz O405 purchased from Ryans for the interim\, which we will also ride. \nThe tour visited their small depot in Golden Square along with some other surprises\, as well as a BBQ lunch. \nTo ensure parking for those who decide to drive up for the day\, the tour commenced from Kangaroo Flat Station at 12:15pm. The bus awaited the 10:39am train from Melbourne\, due into Kangaroo Flat at 12:11pm. \nFor interstaters flying in for the weekend\, this train could be boarded at Sunbury at 11:09am\, a 16km cab ride from the airport (we offered to arrange a car pick-up if required) \nThe afternoon concluded around 5pm\, with drop-offs at both Bendigo Station and Kangaroo Flat Station. Those returning to Melbourne by train could catch the 5:35pm service (arriving at 7:27pm) or stay in Bendigo for dinner and catch the 6:40pm or 8:46pm trains home. \nFARE:\nFare was a flat $10 for everyone\, to cover the BBQ lunch and drink. \nThis tour required a minimum of 10 confirmed participants to go ahead – those attending had to RSVP to the Facebook page\, send an email to tours@bcsv.org.au or call Craig Halsall (Assistant Tours Officer) on 0402 367 353 \nPeople were asked to advise if they have any dietary requirements or food allergies.

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 \nSaturday 23 April saw an all day tour of Melbourne onboard two Z1 trams\, which had been sadly been withdrawn from service after 40 years the previous day.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
