Great pics of 988 and 724!

Did you happen to get any others of 724? It's really quite seamless how they've chucked two halves together on that one!

Sighted that Stonestreets Phoenix at the Airport the other day, my god it is very nice. Either it is brand new, or they keep it in beautiful condition!

You might find that the bus with the "WOMBAT" sign is from an operator in the Young/Harden area, as there is a town called Wombat between the 2.
