 The next two coaches, seen in Southern Cross Coach Station in January 2023, were also refugees from Extragreen. Both date from 2011 and are more in keeping with the rest of the fleet than the flamboyant Marcopolos, they have Coach Concepts bodies on Volvo B7R chassis. They have identical but fascinating early histories, ordered by the McGinty Family Trust, but cancelled after they failed to renew their contracts in South Australia, the chassis were sent to Brazil for bodying by Busscar for Quinces, but Busscar went broke so they ended up going into CMV stock. This one became Extragreen 82 (8809AO), then returned to CMV and on to Firefly as 5 (BS06TJ) and christened "Jeff's Baby".

 Seen on the same day was sister coach 50 (BS02XJ), "Awesome", new in 2016, which is obviously when it received the insignia celebrating the company's 50th anniversary that year, also worn by 55 above.
