THE Mildura to Broken Hill coach trial will return for a special run of pre-Christmas services before resuming on a weekly basis from next month.
Regional Transport and Roads Minister Paul Toole welcomed the resumption of the service next year, as well as the pre-Christmas services.
“This past year has presented a lot of challenges for the people of the Far West especially with drought and COVID-19,” Mr Toole said.
“I am pleased to say we can now bring the Broken Hill to Mildura coach service back from January 20 next year,” he said.
The special pre-Christmas service will start on Wednesday, December 9 and run every Wednesday and Friday until December 23.
The service will take a short break before resuming on January 20, running a daily return service every Wednesday and Friday.
“These services are run on a trial basis and are driven by community need,” Mr O’Toole said.
“I encourage the community to take advantage of the trial coach services to ensure their success.”
Booking on the service can be made at transport.info/regionalbookings or call 132 232.
