Routes they are a changin' - Part 2

Post by Craig »

Image
Cardinia Transit #200 (Volvo B7RLE, Volgren) at Casey Hosptial on Saturday afternoon. Route 831 now serves the hospital, with 836 now running between Berwick Station & Eden Rise SC.

Image
On the final 836 to Casey Hospital this evening, 284 (Mercedes Benz O500LE, Volgren) waits for time in the Bridgewater Estate. Note the sign has been removed in preparation for the new network.

Image
Cardinia Transit #284 waiting to run the final 836 departure to Bridgewater at 20:35 last night. Again, note the lack of singage compared to Saturday.

Route 827 (Hampton - Berwick) is the only route being discontinued from today, with all trips being absorbed into sister route 828. Since 2002, the main difference between 827 & 828 was that 827 operated via the Hallam Gardens Estate while 828 ran direct along Princes Hwy. Additonaly 827 trips also terminated at Berwick Shops on weekdays, where as 828 ran to Berwick Station at all times. Hallam Gardens estate will now be served by Cranbourne Transit's new 891 service.

Image
Grenda's #287 (Iveco Metro Hybrid) arrives Fountain Gate on a 827 service on Saturday afternoon.

Image
Grenda's #204 (Volvo B12BLE, Volgren) sets down passengers on Saffron Dr in the Hallam Gardens Estate on the 16:40 service to Hampton yesterday. Keen-eyed gunzels will note the 891 signage had been installed at this point.

Image
Grenda's #287 heads along Saffron Dr towards Berwick about 10 minutes later.

Image
Moorabbin Transit #578 (Volvo B12BLE) arrives Berwick Station around 7:30pm last night.

Image
The final 827 service was operated by Grenda's #204 seen here at Berwick just before the 20:45 departure. This was also the last 827 trip through Hallam Gardens estate.

Image
At Dandenong. Note the signage has already been updated to read 828 only.

Image
Upon arrival at Southland around 10pm. Again the signage has been updated.

Part 3 onwards will illustrate the changes from this morning.

Kind Regards
