One of a kind!
Kinetic (Ernest) MAN 19.320 HOCL-R-NL / GBV "Lion's City" no. 955 is seen crossing the Queensland / New South Wales State Border from Tweed Heads (NSW) into Coolangatta (QLD), working an inbound route 700 service to Broadbeach South Interchange after finishing a late-running 760 service from Robina.

This is the only GBV bodied bus in the Kinetic Gold Coast fleet at present, and to my knowledge is also the only new (post-2017) style Lion's City body in Australia. It certainly makes for an interesting sight on the Gold Coast streets. This is was transferred by Kinetic from their SkyBus (Melbourne) operation in 2023, originally being delivered there in 2021, where it was no. 230 (BS06ZT).
