In 2004 Hopkinsons acquired Challenge Travel. This 1998 Austral Pacific Majestic 4-axle Scania K113TR, TV331, bears both Hopkinsons and Challenge fleetnames and came with the acquisition. It is seen in Parramatta in August 2004 and was new to Sid Fogg in Newcastle in 1998 with rego TV2313, but it was sold to Premier early in 2012 and became TV331.

 Seen just after Christmas 2007 is Port Stephens Coaches 10 (MO7444) on charter work in Sydney having just crossed the Harbour Bridge - which can be seen in the background. This Volvo B12RT dates from 2000 but was new to Premier as their 154 and joined Port Stephens in 2004. It is seated for 54. |

 At the Queen Victoria Building and still on peak hour duties in December 2008 was Forest 9018 (MO9018) new back in 1984 to Sydney Buses as 2572 (MO2572). The PMC bodied Mercedes O305G was acquired nearly three years earlier but was sold on to Premier (Nowra Coaches) as 5159MO in July the following year when new B12BLEA buses arrived. Nowra withdrew it for parts after three years and the remains went to enthusiasts for similar use in 2018. |
 Here we have Mackay Transit 34 (MTC34) an Autobus bodied Volvo B12RT new to Premier, but acquired via Northland Coach & Travel of Grafton, NSW. Probably because Volvos are rare in the fleet, it has since been sold to Coolum Coaches on the Sunshine Coast and reregistered 720SYR. Alongside is a coach from Victoria, 33 (MTC33), a 1999 Austral Denning Highlander formerly with Kingston's Coaches of Stawell and new to Cullens Bus Lines of Wangaratta. |
