Dysons favoured the Scania/Volgren combination but bought Volvo/Volgrens for the Reservoir and Wangaratta depots. This East West liveried bus, 867 (7122AO), seen on the short route from Bundoora to Thomastown is however a Scania K280UB with the new Volgren Optimus body. It is seen on the short deviation from the direct line of route in February 2016.

This is probably the last new bus to be delivered in East West livery. Dysons adopted PTV orange, at least for its Melbourne operations from September 2015. This Optimus bodied Scania K280UB, 882 (BS01CH), was delivered in May that year and is seen at Reservoir Station in early February 2016.
