- In this video we visit the new bus interchange at Tarneit Station, situated on the Geelong Line in Melbourne's growing western suburbs. Tarneit station opened on the 21st June 2015 with a small bus interchange on the north side of the station which was already at over capacity with passengers and bus movements, and had to be expanded numerous times over the years in an ad-hoc matter.
A new purpose-built bus interchange opened on the 19th November 2023 on the south side of the station, with all of the PTV fixed-route bus services moving to the new interchange. This includes routes 150, 151, 152, 160, 167, 170, 180, and 182. The new interchange features 8 bus bays, each with a shelter with some seating, passenger information displays with audio information, lighting, CCTV, landscaping and more. It's certainly a lot better than the old bus interchange with better amenities for passengers, and its close proximity to the station entrances on platform 2 makes for easy transfer between train and bus services.
Buses at Tarneit are operated by CDC Melbourne's Wyndham depot. Buses seen include the usual assortment of Volvo B7RLE's, Volvo B5LH hybrid buses, Scania L94UB's, Scania K230UB's, Scania K320UB's, and others. At the time of filming CDC Wyndham was having a little bit of a bus shortage which saw some older buses usually reserved for school bus services finding their way out onto route service. This includes bus #1 which is a 2000 Volvo B10BLE with a Volgren 'CR221L' body which is one of the oldest buses at Wyndham depot and features school bus signage and no Myki ticketing equipment. Other buses of interest seen include #85 which is a 2001 Volvo B7L (a low-floor chassis relatively rare in Australia), and #88 which is a 2002 Volvo B12BLE.

This is my last video for 2023. I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and that everyone will have a great new years. Bring on 2024!
Oh yeah. 2024 will be awesome, with new buses, construction on the Metro Tunnel
Those buses look awesome, love the engine sound 👌
Seymour Coaches has two Volvo B5LH hybrid buses with only one based in Kilmore and the other based in Wallan, along side the 3 new Seymour Based Volvo BZL electric buses now they're all Volgren Optimus bodied.
I like this video I rated a 10 out of 10
1:27 Illegal u turn :p
The old interchange is a science experiment gone COMPLETELY wrong. However great to see the older stuff creeping onto track, including the school buses, which i found a bit out of the ordinary, but knowing CDC this would be something they would do. The worst part is that the buses don't even have a sheet of paper displaying what route the bus is doing, confusing the crap out of passengers into thinking the bus is on a school run. As usual, great video
Yes I certainly hope the old interchange isn't completely removed. With all the housing coming up on that side of the station, plus the new Truganina and Tarneit West Station's one would think new routes will be established, and that would be the perfect place to have them terminate. Tarneit is most certainly going to be an extremely busy station in years to come.
It's not, the Flexiride service still uses it, otherwise its a completely empty interchange
Is some of the CDC Wyndham fleet quite unreliable? Obviously it's great to see these older buses from an enthusiast perspective but I thought that they wouldn't be really needed anymore given that they have the majority of the 50 hybrids. Perhaps more buses are needed with the rapidly growing population of the area.
Could you go to the deer psrk interchabge?
At some point; I'm aware its open but I didn't get time to visit these holidays.
