A batch of six 2004 Volgren CR228L bodied Mercedes O500LE buses was acquired from Buslink Darwin by Dysons to assist with the big bus demand for Victoria's annual Christmas rail chaos with buses replacing trains on several busy commuter lines. Seen in January 2019 outside the National Gallery is 1066 (BS04BL), which neatly had been >Buslink 166 (MO2750). The pressing need for buses meant it was still in Darwin colours.
