This Mark 85VR Custom bodied B10M has had a checkered career. Though it looks as though it might have originated with the Glenorie Bus Company it has ironically ended up with the newly reincarnated Glenorie Coaches. It was new in 1987 to Westway/Transit First and sold to Westbus in 1992 and later allocated to Hillsbus with whom it is seen in the evening rush hour outside the QVB over Christmas 2006. |
A regular feature of the long Christmas holidays are the "Beach Buses" from the Hills district to Manly. The express buses leave around 0900h returning at 1600h. On the service in Manly on New Year's Eve 2007 was Custom 86VR B10M 7617 (MO7617). The bus moved on to the group's Charterplus fleet. Passing by is Sydney Buses PMC Mark V bodied Mercedes O405 3316 (MO3316) running dead to Brookvale depot. |
Later Custom 88 bodied B10M 8024 (MO8024) is seen outside the Parramatta Westfield on New Year's Eve 2009 passing a Sydney Buses T-WAY Volvo B12BLE, 1536 (MO5136). The B10M is now withdrawn and the B12BLE transferred to Transit Systems with the T-WAY service in 2013. |
Seen in Parramatta in December 2017 is 5387 (MO5387) one of the few Volvo B7RLE buses delivered in canary yellow and wishing everyone a Happy New Year. Picture ref B9209 |
