In September 2012 Comfort Delgro acquired Deane's Buslines and Transborder Express. The Deanes business was renamed Qcity Transit. A number of buses was transferred from Westbus like 5159 (7148MO). The Custom CB60 bodied Irisbus Agoraline is seen in traffic in Canberra in April 2014 still in Westbus canary yellow. The bus was new to Baxters in 2002 as their 59, though the bus was ordered by King Bros. When Westbus acquired Baxters they painted it yellow and numbered it 5159 to match its then MO5159 rego. |
Seen at the Queanbeyan depot on the same day was sister vehicle 023 (7525MO), dating from 2003. It was new to Baxters as 23 (MO023).

A quite different bus that originated with Baxters was 1049 (MO1049), a Volgren CR222L bodied Metrotec 16.250 of 1999. Qcity later re-registered it 8015MO, sadly an engine fire resulted in its sale for parts in 2019. |
With a couple of natives in the yard in April 2014 was this Custom 215 bodied Volvo B10M 819 (MO819) new to Glenorie in 1997. National Express had merged its Westbus and Glenorie operations in 2004 which is how 819 became part of CDC. |
