Slide - Walkers Bus line Buses in the depot, 1970s - 1980s
The BCSV (see link under references below) records show that Walker's bought the services of R Houlden of Bendigo in January 1966. It is unclear just what involvement, if any, Walker had in buses before this time. We know that there were two Houldens in Bendigo, R and T. The first, R Houlden seems to have acquired the services of Johnston's Bus services around the early 60s. Walker's also acquired the services of J.L.Holland's BS in 1970 and W.E.Shaw in 1972. Here are some pics from the early 50s through to the late 70s:Walkers Bus line Buses in the depot and the Ordnance sign (obviously a mistake in the spelling at some stage) history, bendigo, bus, john theodore collection, houlden buses bendigo, walkers buses bendigo -
