HISTORIC TIMETABLE LISTS
MURRAY VALLEY COACHES
Compiled by Steven Haby
19 May 2003
Introduction
This list is the first of a series of historic timetable lists for bus and coach services across Australia. This list includes a brief description of each timetable, the date of publication and the services listed. Like any list this is a work in progress and additions and corrections are always welcomed. The list is in date order.
Some services were combined but were issued with separate service numbers and were shown as short workings within the timetable, e.g. #3 Mildura – Albury was combined with #5 Broken Hill – Melbourne on the Mildura – Echuca leg of the services.
Murray Valley Coaches coordinated their services with Cobb & Co, Greyhound Express and Pioneer Express.
