Challenge Coachlines ceased trading in 2003.

Seen in the nineties near Circular Quay is MAN 14.190 TV1190, a 42 seater with Autobus bodywork.
|
The same bus is seen again on a different occasion in the early evening near the same spot. The bus was new in South Australia, registered VTL589. It was sold by Challenge to Austgreen Tours of Condell Park in 2002, then on to Explocia Tours of Brighton-Le Sands where it was reregistered TV1444, and later TV5697.
|
Sister vehicle TV1444 had a similar history. Registered VTL588 in South Australia it left Challenge for OTA of Ermington as TV1190 in 2002, then on to Golden Wattle Travel in Sydney two years later, before moving again to UTIK, Sydney by 2010, being reregistered TV6103. It is seen in the Rocks with a coach advertising the virtues of Dunlop tyres.
|
This high floor Scania K112 with PMCSA Apollo bodywork is believed to be TV1588, ex Sunliner Express 212 (199AER) from the Queensland, Manly township. It was sold on to Fantastic Aussie Tours of Katoomba as their 188, named Kanimbla and registered TV645, then became a motorhome in Perth in 2007. The coach carries lettering for Jade Tours.
|
This is believed to be a later view of the same coach at the turn of the century.
