 Volgren has supplied few bodies to Tasmania, despite its Melbourne factory being the closest one on the mainland. Current in the fleet in February 2019 was a trio of 14.5m triaxle Scania L94UB buses with their CR224L body built in 2001. This is the first of the trio, 201 (MET201) seen in Hobart, where all three were based. The bus is looking the worse for where, but the following year it suffered a mechanical failure, parts were scavanged from it and the remains sold for scrap.

 Metro did acquire a number of Volgren CR228L bodied Scanias from Melbourne Airport, displaced by new Optimus bodied examples. Seen at the Airport in August 2008 is C49 (6148AO), new in 2006. It became 408 (MET408) and was allocated to Burnie. |
