 Volgren CR228L Mercedes dominate this depot line up. From the right we have 39 (8841AO), 28 (8375AO), 9 (8474AO) and, further down, 42 (8840AO). Also still in Sunraysia livery are integral Bustech XDi buses 25 (7384AO), 23 (6993AO) and 20 (0628AO) plus the Express bodied Iveco 22. Interspersed are some vehicles in white, mostly coaches which were easily transformed in CDC livery with a few vinyls on their already white livery. Next to the initial trio of Volgrens is 37 (8188AO) a 2011 Express bodied Mercedes OH1830. Further along is an older Custom SB40 bodied OH1728, 43 (5568AO) of 2005. Between 42 and 23 is N19 (8238AO), a 2016 Express bodied OH1830. The penultimate white vhicle was the oldest bus in the fleet, 1999 Bustech bodied Mercedes O405NH, 13 (0621AO). Next to 13 is white Bustech XDi 50 (6994AO) which in Lucas days had been transferred from Warrnambool Bus Lines.

 In contrast, facing the line up on the other side of the depot was a line up of mostly white coaches, interlopper is 2014 Express bodied O500LE 30 (BS00RV), with CR228L 21 at the far end. First white coach is 53 (0626AO), a 2006 Express bodied Mercedes OH1728, newer 2009 N2 (7387AO) an OH1830 is beyond 30. Next up was the only Volgren SC222 in the fleet, a 2010 Mercedes OH1830, 36 (7712AO). The white CR228L, 16 (0620AO), on the end, like the Bustech O405NH, was transferred from Warrnambool.

 A coach line up in a different section of the yard. All carry CDC Mildura fleetnames, but mostly stuck on old liveries. From the right we have 69 (4977AO) a Coach Design bodied Scania K124EB new to Wangaratta Coachlines in 2000. Next up is 60 (3938AO) a Coach Design bodied Iveco Eurorider new to Warrnambool in 2006. Set back is 63 (4980AO) a B&CI bodied MAN 18.310 new to Fortesque Bus Service in WA in 2001 as TC4320. Two silver coaches next, BCI bodied Mercedes O500RF 81 (BS04KK) of 2018, the last new vehicle pre CDC, and 80 (8380AO) a 2011 Express bodied Scania K400IB. Still in old V-Line colours was 69 (4377AO) a 2000 Coach Design bodied Scania K124EB and on the very end was 82 (4800AO) a PMCA Apollo bodied Volvo B12RT new to Australian Army in 1994. It reached Mildura via Busabout Coachlines and Westrans and though now withdrawn it is the only coach in the line up in full CDC Mildura livery.
