I just hope busways can keep those models in good shape with regular maintenance & repaints of the liverly on the outside of body because from most time to time the new paint job would often start rusting out and they need to repaint it. because some buses are working on shifts without major overhaul with some of its paintwork peeling off. I know the old liverly from the decades had lasted for so many years especially when the new tfnsw liverly took over these models. they started finally being tfnsw state run buses. it was disaster when they wernt looked after properly from the beginning. as the b12bleas had major issues during this year, and it wasn't looking good for their fleet. so major backup like these standard ones can still operate of some of those services In the long-term because their new purchase of replacement buses maybe decades or years away. because you have to understand that these models have been around for years now replacing the aging PMC models that were high stepped in those days & the disabled and mothers with prams had hard time trying to board the bus it had no ramp. but somewhere in the 2000's Sta ordered the state of the art custom coaches B12ble models to replace the ageing models.

@@EOL66852 Some of the buses (especially the paint) under privatisation isn’t looking too good now and I hope the paint doesn’t come of easily on buses that were painted into the TFNSW livery. Some of the ex-STA bus depots have their own design of the buses with TFNSW such as placing the number (e.g from instead of putting it on the front side, logo etc).
