Notes
- This vehicle was leased from STA in 2001 (STA fleet number 3543)
- It was originally registered as BUS 171, but on 13 September 2001 its number plate was swapped with then Bus 165
- It was subsequently sold to Surfside Bus Lines, and became Bus 589
- There is some uncertainty about the subsequent movements of this bus - however, the contradictory information seems to refer to former Bus 161, rather than 165
- It is believed to have been withdrawn from service in October 2001, but was not returned to the STA until December.
