First day of new Cranbourne network

Post by PaxInfo »

Some pictures from the first day of the new Cranbourne network.

1. The first service on a new route was the 890 ex Dandenong. Formed by the 892 which was the first trip of any route on the new network.
While a route through an industrial area would normally have limited appeal on a Sunday, the return trip to Dandenong proved its worth as a substitute for disrupted trains.

That link doesn't work for anybody who isn't a member of your private group, nor would it work for anybody who is not a member of Facebook.
