 This 2002 picture of a 1995 Volgren bodied Mercedes O400, 42 (4020AO), on the Melbourne Staff Shuttle dates back to the times of the Nixon Group. The following year Dysons acquired the Nixon group which brought with it the Cobb and franchised APT operations including bases in Darwin and Alice Springs. This Mercedes, became 197 in the Dyson fleet and arrived as 2 (1822MO) with Rover by way of Glenorie where it was TV6787. |

 This PMC bodied Leyland Tiger was new to Brisbane Water Coaches in 1985 with rego MO0413. It became Busways 401,later joining Rover as 36 (3495MO). It is seen in April 2014 with its fourth owner, Revline of Luddneham who sold it three years later. |
 Seen in July 2004 with Koala Koaches 25 (523FNZ), a bus with a past, but no future. The 1984 PMC bodied Leyland Super Viking had come from Rover where it was 39 (MO2513). Before that it had been with other NSW operator: Skinners of Cessnock, Southtrans of Menai and Hadfield's Bus Lines of Engadine. |

 Seen on a private charter in August 2005 between the Harbour Bridge and the Opera House was 85 (MO789), a PMC bodied Leyland Tiger with a long history. It was new to Hadfield Bus Lines in Engadine in 1985 and acquired by Southtrans with the Hadfield operation in 1989. Connex sold it to Rover, according to "Australian Bus Fleetlists" in 2004 - which is obviously at odds with when this photo was allegedly taken - it was their 3 (MO0090). Rover did not keep it long passing it to the ill fated King Bros as 174 and like most of their operation it ended up with Busways where it became 628 and later given new rego 5565MO. It moved on again in 2009 becoming 2 in the fleet of Collins of Port Macquarie. |
