In the Dysons Fleet list, there is a Bundoora MET depot.

There are also these groups - Tours, Heritage, and Local Charter.

However, there is one simply noted as Bundoora. It has 23 Dysons, 23 PTV (1259-1361 inclusive) and 2 PTV/V/Line. Is this group in the same category as the larger Bundoora MET group (199 buses)?

In my opinion, I do think it would be worth reorganising the fleet list, with Buses being used on MET services being put in a new depot called "Metropolitan" buses allocated to the rail fleet being put in "Rail" With "Bundoora Local Charter" and "Bundoora Tours" being merged into "Bundoora" and "Reservoir Charter" into "Reservoir"

Buses in the rail fleet would be (June 2025):
146, 147, 151, 152, 181, 183, 185, 189, 191, 192, 259, 260, 279, 280, 281, 282, 283, 426, 427, 428, 429, 430, 754, 755, 756, 757, 758, 759, 1064
