On a glorious day in January 2015 Telford's 8017 (5642MO) is seen on Bondi's Campbell Parade. Telfords had aquired the bus from Sydney Party Buses, but before that it was Busways 661. However its history is much more interesting. The Mercedes O305 chassis was new to STA with a PMC and fleet number 1960. Sydney Buses sold it to Forest with rego MO8477. In 1999 it joined the King Bros fleet as their 28 (MO3563) with its new Coachworks Orana body and went from them to Busways. The bus has since been sold to Nick Vassilakis' NKV Tours in Milperra with rego CQ14UU.

Seen on Bronte Road near Bondi Junction in October 2017 is sister vehicle 8018 (TV6239), former Busways 737 (2868MO). The chassis originally belonged to STA 1823. Like 8017 Busways acquired the bus from King Bros where it was 27 (MO5086), but before that it was with Forest. Four months after the photo was taken 8018 was deregistered and stored at Oakville, being sold to Global Hydro Power Australia who trade as Paradise Tours with rego CR50MR.
