Spotted 1277 and 1278 on what appears to be their delivery run to Busways this morning, both were heading down Coreen Av in Penrith so my early assumption was that they were going to visit Penrith depot for a bit before heading on.
1277 and 1278 both appeared to be single-door OC500LE/CB80s, both had trade plates and 1277 (from what I could see) had Macksville accreditation.

Makes sense given Custom Bus is now just a suburb or two away from Busways Penrith depot.
Think for yourself, while it's still legal !

Assuming these buses have recently been transferred to Glendenning, this would mean that 272, 273 and 325 were returning to their original depot from 22 years ago.

857-860 still have Glendenning Lettering but at Penrith Depot as do 272/3

853 gained Nsw livery upon return to Glendenning

275 has regained some old Busways logos and is the only Penrith bus to carry them. Quite alot of buses at Glendenning retain old busways including alot of Mercs and Man's.

For Busways Ryde

Volvo B10BLE fleet number 1686 now has a registration of m/o 8568

Sorry I don't have the registration details of the other B10's in the "To be delivered" section for Busways, 1686 was the only one I saw for Ryde during my last Sydney trip two weeks ago now.

1110-1119 excluding 1112 have transferred Penrith to Mulgrave bit odd when so many of the 108*-1100 transferred the other way recently.

1082 is the second bus to lose it's Waratah NSW Decals now having the same livery as 1127.
