The staggered window line adds to the apparent height of 853 (MO9709), also new in 2008. Whereas other operators colour schemes mask the differing window levels, Busway's draws them to our attention.
The vehicle's slightly odd appearance can be gauged from this nearside view of another from the batch, 849 (MO9710), on stand in Blacktown. The knife edge nearside windows over the front axle being accentuated by the destination display above them.
The big advert for the Stonecutters Ridge development on the side of 850 (MO9701) shows the effects of a scheme which masks the changing window levels.

A trio of 2007 CB60 bodied K230UB Scanias rest in Gosford depot in April 2023. From left to right we have 800 (6541MO), a lop sided 798 (6545MO) and 815 (6972MO).
