Latrobe Valley Tour (10/2/2013)

[cal321]

A keen group of BCSV members and visitors attended this very successful day tour. The main aim of the day was to visit the three Latrobe Valley Bus Lines (LVBL) depots. Thanks must go to Latrobe Valley management and staff member Bruce, Nuline Charter, System Improver, Apollo and those who prepared the excellent lunch. Also thanks to Gary for arranging the last two visits of the day.

Geoff from Nuline Charter kindly brought his restored Denning Landseer out and met us in the Longwarry area on our way back to Melbourne. Still a great coach to ride in! It is pictured here at Simcocks' depot in Pakenham with the tour coach.

Thanks for sharing your photos cal321, the ride in the Landseer would have been awesome, sorry I missed the tour but that's the way things go

Is there some ownership connection between Bayside/Nuline and Simcocks, or was Simcocks just a depot being visited on the day?
