The last day of Melbourne's route 673
On the 28th of January, 2022, the route 673 was in operation for the final time. Although PTV states that the route will operate its last service on the 29th , route 673 does not run on weekends, which means that the 28th is officially the date of when the last service operated. A brief history Compared to other bus routes, the 673 didn't last for that long, only being introduced as part of bus reforms in the Lilydale area in 2006 . The route number had originally been given to a route that operated between Croydon and Lilydale , but the route was eventually cut back in stages and was completely deleted in 1987. When I say that this route has a brief history, I do mean it. As far as I know, the route was pretty much left untouched during its 15 years of exisistance. Needless to say, there probably wasn't much that really could be changed about this route, mostly because of how redundant such a change would be.
