* It was first registered on 15 October 1990
* Since delivery, Bus 963 has been in special livery for ACTION. A common misconception is that the bus (along with sister units [[BUS 967|967]] and [[BUS 971|971]]) advertises the National Dinosaur Museum, however the dinosaur skeletons that make up the livery actually encourage people to "Take ACTION (to) conserve our fossil fuels"
* It was one of fifty ACTION Buses loaned to the Olympic Road Transport Authority (ORTA) during 2000 for the Sydney Olympics.
* In July 2016, its Alcatel/STC Cannon flip-dot destination signs were replaced with Hanover LED equipment.
* It was fitted with a Sportworks DL2 bike rack in late May 2012.
* Its Alcatel/STC Cannon flip-dot destination displays were replaced by Hanover LED equipment in October 2013.
* Its Hanover LED destination signs were removed when the bus was withdrawn from service.
