Plenty Valley bus network

From Sunday 26 August 2018 we've changed the Plenty Valley bus network, connecting you to three new stations and almost a thousand trains on the Mernda Line.

These bus changes give you convenient access to train stations at Middle Gorge, Hawkstowe and Mernda, as well as schools and key community destinations such as shopping centres.
