Re: Transdev Melbourne News 2019
Hey all, Slightly old topic i know but why were the so called "Toaster Buses",Enterprise Designline buses actually withdrawn when they seem to run seem to do very well in the UK? Is it still the mentality that exists in transport in Melbourne in particular that if something is different to...

Re: Victorian Route and Timetable changes 2019
Hey all, Reading about these extra services makes me laugh.As a very very frequent user of these roads around the area for the last 9 years there is no point putting extra services on without fixing up the road infrastructure first.The traffic volumes in this area are atrocious at any time of the da...

Re: Victorian Route and Timetable changes 2019
Why not just run the route services with Optare Solos which would be adequate.You also need to make easily accessible for the elderly that go to the shops every week,if you do that you would probably increase the patronage as alot of them may choose the bus instead of driving and trying to find a pa...

Re: Ventura Group News 2019
Thanks for the replies regarding my query on the Transdev allocations,i didn't realize that everything is so complicated now as far as bus fleet allocations go.Can we maybe have the on paper base allocations then of what is supposed to be at each depot even though the reality is different sometimes,...

Re: Ventura Group News 2019
Will this mean that there will be transfers between these depots as well,the same as the eastern depots?...Also on another note is the bus fleet list page part of this forum,if no who runs it?...The Transdev page does not mention Thomastown depot and it's allocation or Sunshine depot and it's alloca...

Re: All Other Victorian Bus Observations 2019
This is only the Sunshine depot and routes,not the Kastoria/Mitchell transit side of the business is this correct?Also does this mean that we may see route changes and so on.

Re: single module low floor trams - could work for Melbourne
The 19 was chosen for the D2's because it is one of the busiest routes and also because of the lack of curves.Also once the new linked route 8/55 which i have heard will be renumbered route 8 there will be D1's running on the old 55,so Flemington rd at least will have a partial low floor sevice from...
