 McKenzie's, part of the Dineen group since 2006, operate a number of coaches, but also a few bus services. From their home town of Healesville their busiest service is the roughly half hourly 685 to Lilydale with onward connections to Melbourne by train. The service also ran nightly as Nightrider 965. Seen at Lilydale in April 2007 is this 1998 Mercedes OH1421, 125 (1808AO), with Austral Pacific Starliner with coach seating for 53. |
 The fleet contains a few purpose built buses though in March 2013 this Mercedes O500LE was the only such bus in the fleet. The Custom CB60 bodied unit, 97 (1830AO), had been acquired from Mercedes stock. A similar CB60 Evo II bodied MAN 18.280 arrived a year later in 2007. The bus is seen on a Sunday in Healesville, opposite the depot, awaiting departure on the 685. |
