I don't get why CDC Oakleigh aren't re-livering the buses who are well overdue for a change such as #8, #88 #31 #35 & #60 who look deplorable in their slap-dash ex Driver liveries. Speaking of CDC Oakleigh, #97 is now in PTV Livery sighted yesterday at Oakleigh depot

^^Probably because they are needed on the road.

One major operator of which I am aware has only been getting buses put into the new livery when they need some sort of body repair done. One can tell which buses have been lucky enough to have avoided the new livery - they are the buses that have avoided scrapes.... :wink:

Bendigo is the latest city to see buses in the PTV livery, with Whitmores receiving delivery of a new Mercedes Benz O500LE, Volgren CR228L ex a cancelled STA delivery. It will travel the Route 16 "Strath Transit" service to Strathfieldsaye. Rego BS01AX.

Local enthusiast Caleb Ellis posted this photo on "All About Transport" Facebook group tonight (reposted with permission) -

A SMOOTHER, safer trip awaits commuters on Route 16 to Strathfieldsaye after the arrival of a shiny new PTV bus for the Strath Transit service.

The new bus has a low floor, allowing the elderly, people with disabilities and those with prams to board with ease, replacing the older vehicle which had become increasingly unreliable.

It seats 45 and has reliable air conditioning.

On Thursday morning, Member for Bendigo East and Victorian Public Transport Minister Jacinta Allan handed over the keys of the bus to the Whitmore Group, which operates Strath Transit.

Director Jamie Whitmore said the bus will be a boost for the local commuter service.

"It's fantastic to have a new bus to provide a better service to our customers," he said.

"This will set up Strath Transit for years to come, so our service can grow as patronage and the local community does."

The bus was funded through PTV's bus replacement program.

Jacinta Allan said as Strathfieldsaye continues to be one of Bendigo's fastest growing areas, it was important to invest in the basics like better buses.

"The new bus will provide a safer, more reliable journey for the more than 100 people that use the Strath Transit service every weekday," she said.
Kind Regards

I'm guessing they mean the ex-Tasmania MAN? Horrible little thing. :twisted:

...which takes Ventura total to 279, 2 ahead of Transdev at 277.

Grand total = 748.

Any progress on refurbishment/PTV livery for the remaining two at Transdev [750,751]?
