To clear up some of the confusion from the dribble above, I can confirm the following buses have joined the fleet at Shepparton:
137, 138, 139, 316, 402 and 805.

The following need to be added to Dysons fleetlists for Shepparton (these may have been missed):
#1012-- ex #94 Shepparton Transit (9685AO)
#1016-- ex #116 Shepparton Transit (6649AO)
#1017-- ex #112 Shepparton Transit (2112AO)

Cheers.
Thank you Matt

Also Bus 1003 is ex #47 from Shepp transit. and is in Dysons livery

Just a suggestion, rather than list the changes here, it is better if you send an e-mail with the changes, changes will occur more quicker than posting them here.

I've tried before :( when Dyson tells me stuff or when I browse for photos, I have to tell it to fleetlists but nothing happens ):

The AOA CR228L 237 has had new wrapping applied it's no longer the Optus green and blue it's entirely red with "ladbrokes" titles.

Also due to all the additional work Dysons is undertaking (Rail replacements, Transdev leasing along with school holidays continence) there have been many school buses out on routes mainly CR222Ls more than usual.

@HaticePTV, did you mean bus #437?
Yes, my mistake 437. Mind you it appears it's not the only Dysons AOA vehicle, 1016 and 724 also appeared in an AOA livery. 1016 Being a Volgren Optimus Volvo in Dennis Family Homes livery and 724 being a Volgren CR228L in a Purple AOA featuring a Wodonga company. Interestingly 711, 724 and 1016 were operating rail replacments and didn't have the "Train Replacement" destination sign rather had "Dyson Group or Charter" only, was interesting to see NSW accreditation an the read 40kmph sign operating in Melbourne.

Dysons seemed to have a busy weekend operating rail replacements on Craigieburn, Upfeild, Hurstbridge and South Morang lines. This week the rail replacement over the Hurstbridge line will see Ventura, Driver, Sita and Nuline operating together with Dysons. Interesting number types on the Dysons side with Optimus' Volvo and Scania's, CR221Ls such as 120 and even the single door 466 out there. Also noted was 191 which as a former East West Scania CR227L which is now mainly white with Dysons titles on the front and read of the vehicle.

437 is the only AOA in MET Melbourne the others just arrived recently I'm assuming for a stint on the rail projects. 437 also was in Nandos previous to Optus and is now in the ladbrokes red wrapping as previously stated. La Trobe Uni isn't exactly an "AOA" as per say since it's operated for La Trobe, it'd be like saying the PTV liveried vehicles are AOA's.


Also to noted, bus 999 Volvo CR228L former Shepparton Transit was operating on the rail replacements today in plain white.

New Dysons #1037 is now in service. I saw it this week on two ex Reservoir routes (552 and 556). Is this bus going to be located at the Reservoir depot for those routes?
