==Notes==
==Notes==
* It was first registered on 12 July 1989
* Bus 679 was delivered to Tuggeranong Depot on 31 October 2018.
* Its National Gallery 'Elvis Lives' all over advertisement was launched in August 1989.
* Bus 679 was registered on 28 November 2018, the same day it entered service.
* On 4 July 1992 it was transferred from Kingston Depot to Tuggeranong Depot.
 
* Bus 808 was fitted with a trial Alcatel Flipdot Destination Display
==All Over Advertising==
* This vehicle was reportedly popular with drivers (particularly the Elvis fans!)
[[File:Photo.png|link=]] '''Brindabella Christian College''' – ''8 February 2021 to 17 March 2023''
* It was one of fifty ACTION Buses loaned to the Olympic Road Transport Authority (ORTA) during 2000 for the Sydney Olympics.

* Although Bus 808 is a Mk1 PR100.2, like other former AOAs, it carried the Mk2 Livery.
* in March 2022, the rear panel was changed to be similar to [[BUS 621 (2)|Bus 621]] et al; with the side wraps re-applied (unchanged) in late March
* A combination of the Mk2 livery and Flipdot desto often lead people to mistake the vehicle for a Mk2. The side flip-dot display however was in the same place as the Mk1 roller, rather than built into the roofline.
 
* Bus 808 was withdrawn from service at Tuggeranong Depot in early January 2012
