Buslink acquired a large fleet of vehicles for mining contracts in the Northern Territory. Many were sold off at a comparatively young age and snapped up by operators nationwide. Ventura in Melbourne acquired no less than 18 seven or eight year old Mercedes OH1830 vehicles with Volgren SC222 coachwork, similar to others already in its fleet.
