 In 1997 Brisbane Bus Lines bought three Custom bodied Dennis Dart SLF buses. All three, 63 to 65, were sold to Bayline, then passing to Go Bus. This is 125 (AEE580) seen in the Bay of Plenty in April 2008, followed by another of the batch. Both are still in Bayline livery. This was 65 (BBL65) in Queensland. All three Darts kept their original fleetnumbers with Bayline. |
Another view of Dart SLF 125, probably with the same fellow Dart behind.

 This is Dart SLF 124 (AEX528) leaving the Bus Station on the 14 to Claudelands. This was Brisbane Bus Lines 64 (BBL64). Note early "BUSIT" branding by teh door. |
 Yet another view of Dart SLF 125. |
 The Darts were not the only buses acquired from Bayline for the new Go-bus operation in Hamilton. Initially they were all in Bayline livery like the Darts and this Kiwi bodied Volvo B7RLE, 128 (BUP353), which had been 118 with Bayline. It was sold shortly after these April 2005 pictures were taken to MANA as their 142 and from there to McDermotts Coachlines of Invercargill. Ironically as 1158 it returned to work for GO in Invercargill. |
 One of the Darts follows one of the Kiwi bodied Volvos out of Hamilton Bus Station. The Volvo still sports Bayline "Hopper" branding and logos. |
 This pair of NZMB bodied Mercedes O305 were still in the colours of Blue Worth Coachlines, both were new to Auckland in the late seventies: 1467 (IK6876) and 1523 (IU7098), now numbered 59 and 61. Both were scrapped by early 2008.

 This impressive CWI Ranger bodied Isuzu ECR570, 101 (LG5891), was new to Lewis Hodgson of Te Awamutu in 1984. It served several operators in the area, the last being Leslies of Gordonton before Go-Bus. They sold it on to Orchard Trust in Te Puke in early 2007. |
