The Bus & Coach Society of Victoria are excited announce that the inaugural Scoresby Classic Bus Display will be held on Sunday 30th March at the National Steam Centre, 1200 Ferntree Gully Rd, Scoresby.No entry fee to National Steam Centre - but there is a donation box.
The event will commence around 11am and run until 4pm. It will consist of a bus & coach vehicle display across the decades along with joyrides on selected vehicles throughout the day.
A shuttle bus will depart Glen Waverley Station (Bay 10, 753 bay) throughout the day. A gold coin donation applies, which will cover fuel costs.
FROM GLEN WAVERLEY: 10:50am, 11:35am, 1:15pm & 2:15pm
RETURN FROM SCORESBY: 12:55pm, 1:55pm, 2:55pm, 3:55pm & 4:15pm
Routes 693 (Oakleigh - Belgrave via Ferntree Gully) & 753 (Glen Waverley - Boronia) also travel past the venue.
This is a new event on the BCSV calendar & will be open to the general public. It will complement the annual HCVCA Yarra Glen display, which will still take place each November.
We plan to model the day on the successful BusFest held by our counterparts from Sydney Bus Museum in recent years. Some 50 buses attended their November 2024 event, a mix of vehicles owned by the museum, operators and individuals.
Those with very long memories may recall a few BusBQ rallies previously ran only for BCSV members and that when the Melbourne Steam Traction Engine Club was in its previous location, preserved buses did attend several of their major events back in the 1980s.
The Scoresby Classic Bus Day will take the place of our March Social Meeting.
DISPLAYING A BUS or COACH
We warmly encourage owners of preserved and current vehicles to come along on the day - either operators or those BCSV members with privately owned buses.
To facilitate planning could those intending to attend with a bus please notify BCSV committee member Gary Driver of your intention to participate. His preferred contact method is by email - [email protected]
We'd also welcome expressions of interest for those vehicle owners who would be happy to provide shuttle transfers from Glen Waverley or around the precinct for a gold-coin donation per passenger (to cover fuel costs).
Previous advice from Transport Safety Victoria is that the general public may travel on vehicles on heritage plates if operating on a donation/not-for-hire basis.
Please share this event with fellow preserved vehicle owners or to your friends, family and any others you think may be interested in attending.
