A new departure for Bunyip was the "Chadstone Shuttle", a non stop express from Federation Square to the biggest shopping mal in the southern hemisphere. This required the company to buy its first full sized vehicle in the shape of this Irizar i6 bodied Scania K310IB, BS02ZU. It is seen at the Federation Square departure point on Flinders Street in April 2018.

On the move in March the colours had changed again. Part of Bunyip's success in gaining the prestigious contract was supporting the Scania with a midibus for connections or duplications.

Another wrap for the Scania in February 2020 by when Bunyip Tours had changed hands. The new company, Go West, brought in several changes. The Neighbours Centre has been closed, the tour has been reduced to only three days a week and is cancelled on occasions - unheard of under the previous owners, and that applied to all tours, not just the Neighbours tour. The cost of the Neighbours tour has rocketed and there is no oportunity to meet a cast member, other than by chance.
