Busways 1285 and 1286, currently listed at Penrith, carry Busways Blacktown accreditation below the driver window. Not sure if this is an error, considering both were on 775 runs to Penrith which is almost always operated by Penrith Depot.

All of the Mercedes Optimus are based at Penrith

452 now registered as m/o 8020
347 at Penrith
348 at Penrith

They don't carry Blacktown accreditation they just don't carry the Penrith depot "tag" they never have 1285-1300 are all devoid of Penrith Logos. Blacktown depot is called Glendenning and only the 27* buses at Penrith carry Glendenning legal details

I think this might be a mistake in the fleetlists but Busways 3108 ST and 3109 ST are listed as both having body numbers STAV-046-CB.

Judging from the fact that the rest of the Volvo B8RLE Custom CB80 body numbers seem to be in chronological order perhaps 3108 ST is supposed to have body number STAV-045-CB which has been skipped.

It might be slightly late to ask, but is there a reason that Busways demo vehicles aren't included in the fleet lists? I cannot find a trace of 7034 m/o 8119, a 2024 build Volvo BZL Express Low Floor Metro, anywhere in the database, and same goes for the other demonstrators. 7034 was on trial from June 2024 around Penrith - the trial was supposed to take a month but 7034 stayed until late August. Would love to know where it is now.

In case someone is looking for them I have compiled a list of the demonstrators I know of with Busways:
- 7001 (CH55NL, Mercedes O500LE Volgren Optimus at Blacktown now TV9275 with CDC Charter)
- 7006 (Mercedes OM906hLA with Optare Tempo body at Blacktown registered 1HD 2YC - no info in database)
- 7010 (Yutong ZK6131HGE Yutong E12 registered XQ 13FW at Coffs Harbour, now m/o 526 with Punchbowl Bus Co)
- 7012 (2021 build Custom Denning Element at Penrith registered m/o 5471 - not in the database)
- Unknown fleet number (XO 60KN a Volvo BZL Express Low Floor Metro trialled at Coffs Harbour , no info in the database)
I recall Busways also trialled a BYD D9RA Gemilang/Nexport around Penrith but I have little information on that and I do not know why there was such a large jump to 7034.

5050 in service on the 770 tracking as M/O7608 Fleetnumber 9145 on Anytrip

745, 1091/92/93/94 are all at Penrith missing off the allocation. Think there's another 7** series high floor missing from the list but unsure if a Glendenning or Mulgrave bus that transferred

449 is now a Penrith Driver trainer noted on Thursday at the bus station

9146 also tracking on the 776
