Surfside Buslines Queensland Rail Mercedes-Benz O405NH Custom 550 897
In 1997 Surfside bought a batch of seven Custom 550 Mercedes-Benz O405NH 48 seat dual door buses. This one, 897 (897EJN), at Burleigh Heads, is in a special Train-Link livery for Queensland Rail. Most of Queensland Rail's routes appear to be operated by buses! The Mercedes is on the link from Surfers to the rail head at Robina.
