BCSV: Bus and Coach Society of Victoria

BCSV: Bus and Coach Society of Victoria Bus and Coach Society of Victoria This includes both present day operations as well as the history of current and past services.

The BCSV (Bus and Coach Society of Victoria) aims to cater for all those who have an interest in road passenger transport in Victoria, in particular, and Australia more generally. Current Society membership includes operators, enthusiasts, bus companies and historical groups. The Society maintains photographic and other historical archives most of which have been digitised or are in the process of

being digitised. The Society holds indoor social meetings in March, May, July, September and November at the Hawthorn Tram Museum on Sunday afternoons featuring guest speakers and slide presentations. The BCSV also organises visits and tours to bus manufacturers and operators, farewell tours (for both operators and chassis) and other events for members. The Society publishes Australian Bus Panorama 7 times a year. Six editions are bi-monthly publications which include activities around the states, recent deliveries and disposals, in full colour. The seventh publication is a Special at Christmas which is usually dedicated to one or two items only. In the past, company and manufacturer histories have featured. A number of historical CDs featuring buses from the 60s, 70s and 80s have been published and are available through the BCSV. Details will be published on the BCSV Facebook wall periodically, otherwise those interested can contact Paul Kennelly, BCSV secretary at [email protected] or by calling (03) 9509 1593

21 years ago today (June 19 2005) Dysons had a launch for their new liveries operating under the Dyson Group of Companies banner. A livery that is arguably still modern & fresh over two decades on.

The launch was held at the then under development future Bundoora Depot, with some of us were fortunate enough to receive an invite to attend. Hayden Ramsdale has shared a few photos from the event.

The green & white 'sticks' livery has sadly vanished from the Melbourne route sevice fleet contracted under the ZEB Contracts (now in PTV orange) but it remains on a majority of charter/school buses, regional town buses and some of the rail fleet.

Meanwhile, 7 Scania/Irizar Coaches remain in the Cobb & Co livery.

Come see the buses & ride the trains! 🚍🚂
If you're coming to Museum of Vehicle Evolution - MOVE in Shepparton & Goulburn Valley tomorrow, make sure to find time for Emerald Bank Train Rides too, literally next door!

Miniature trains operate on the first Sunday each month (excluding January) from 10am till 2pm, departing from nearby the large windmill.

This Sunday at the moment is looking like a fine (but cloudy) day so it would be a good chance to get out with the kids.

$3 per ride.

Two trains will be operating - The Jumbuck and The Boss. Driver Charlie and his team from Euroa Miniature Railway are looking forward to seeing you all.

All part of the Emerald Bank experience! 👌
