 More Fuso Rosas had arrived in the fleet by March 2023 making a total of eight. This pair was part of a trio delivered in 2022. Nearer the camera year old 1606 (BS07TE), the only one in the fleet fitted with a tail lift and seating only twenty, others sat 24. Alongside is the equally anonymous three month old 1608 (BS07TF). On the end is Volgren Optimus bodied BYD D9RA 1574 (BS08HO) allocated to West Heidelberg and - being the last of the delivery - probably yet to enter service.

 A view of the Dandenong depot yard from the train that March showed three Hinos and a Fuso Rosa. There are a pair of Ponchos likely to be 1318 (BS04DC) and 1319 (BS04DD), the only two allocated to Dandenong for school use. Of the thirteen Ponchos then in the fleet ten were at Lilydale in PTV livery and the third was at Knoxfield. The larger Express bodied Hino FD240 is one of fifteen in the fleet, two were allocated to Rosebud and the rest to Dandenong, so the identity of this FD240 is a mystery.
