 Another change of the major chassis supplier introduced MAN buses into the fleet, but Custom's stylish bodies were dropped in favour of the VST model from Bustech in Queensland. Custom has come back in favour with CB80 bodies in TNSW livery on recent MAN deliveries. This is MAN 18.310, 967 (MO5052), in Blacktown Bus Station on that same day in February 2013. |

 A number of the MAN 18.310/Bustechs had been treated to huge offside adverts, including 963 (MO5048) with this ad for Muscle Beach protein supplements. |
