| NOTES: |
|
| | First production bus with roof-level mounted indicators and brake lights (originally the brake lights were programmed to flash quickly thrice before remaining on with the brake application - a very effective feaure but later removed, reasons suggested included failure to comply with licencing standards or (unfounded?) fears of triggering epileptic fits) | | | | | | `7UP` AOA (white/green) | | Apr 1991 | | | | `rainbow` City Clipper livery | | 26 Mar 1993 | | | | Transperth corporate livery | | 11 Oct 1996 | | | | Withdrawn | circa | Sep 2008 | | | | Returned to service with Geraldton Bus Service [TransGeraldton] | | Oct 2008 | | | | Withdrawn | | 18 Jan 2013 | |
