Re: [Melb] Old railway line

["Thomas Zsolt" <tdzsolt@ozemail.com.au>]

These are all Ventura Bus routes.  Poor as their services are they are
amongst the best in Melbourne.  Grenda's, mentioned earlier in this thread,
do not have any bus routes that run beyond 7.30pm weekdays or at all on
Sundays.

Basically most bus services in Melbourne are pathetic, no wonder people
prefer rail, they run more often.
