On Wednesday 9th August
2006, dining carriage Avoca was transferred from the Seymour
Railway Heritage Centre (SRHC) to Spencer Street.
Avoca was attached
to the rear of train 8306, the 0710 up Seymour service, which
consisted of N467+VLH33+Avoca, quite a rare sighting for a
revenue service!

on a chartered service from Spencer Street to Bendigo and return on
Thursday 10th August 2006.
