Introduction
This is the second in a series listing historic bus and coach timetables from around Australia.
V.I.P. Express, also known as Australian V.I.P. Leisure Tours, commenced in the early 1980s on the eastern seaboard. Following rapid expansion, V.I.P. Express collapsed due to financial pressures in the late 1980s.
This list documents all known timetables released by this company. Like any list of this nature it is a work in progress and additions and/or corrections are welcomed.
