The demonstrator is seen parked up at the back of Fitzroy North depot in January 2018 with the three other 800-series Mercedes and 380386 (5286AO), a former Melbourne Bus Link Volgren CR227L bodied Scania L94UB. On the extreme right is our friend still numbered 380800, but, in order, next to 801 are 802 (8243AO) and 803 (1812AO), seemingly identical to 380800 but acquired from Panorama Coaches, where they were 37 and 41, respectively. The demonstrator left the fleet before the other three Mercedes.
