 The Dineen Group do quite a bit of contract work for V-Line. Though V-Line might be seen as the statewide rail operator, it serves many places by coaches, either direct from Melbourne or as feeders from more rural stations. Leaving Southern Cross on December 27th 2011 is this Iveco Eurorider with Irizar Century 3900 body, 11 (3011AO). The coach was barely a year old and the only V-Line coach in the Panorama fleet. |
 |
 The coach is seen four days earlier turning outside the Arts Centre in Melbourne, seemingly on route to Southern Cross Station. |
|
 Forward to March 2015 and 11 is seen again leaving Southern Cross for Mansfield.
