Does anyone know which services the hydros are running? I'm keen to go on one before they inevitably get pulled

Victoria’s hydrogen buses will service routes across Footscray, Williamstown, Moonee Ponds and Sunshine in Melbourne’s west. The government said the trial, involving six operators, would provide information on how no-emission buses perform, including energy usage.

That's your clue, there. Those areas all belong to Transit Systems: https://www.transitsystems.com.au/hydrogen-bus-new

You can try calling or emailing them, but you'll probably have better luck going to Footscray station and asking the staff there. They'll know the bus numbers and when they're next due to arrive.

I did see and think of that, I was just curious if anyone had managed to ride one yet, which service it was. But I'll send them an email and see what they say
