 Hobart Coaches used to operate private hire and excursions across Tasmania, further extending into express coach services. The company was bought by Metro Tasmania who sold the express routes to Tassielinkand Redline. Some of the coaches joined the Metro bus fleet like this 1990 NCBC bodied Scania K113 which passed to Tassielink as their 60 (CR7026) - it had been 6 with Metro. It is seen in Launceston Coach Station in February 2019.

 Sims of Sprent acquired a number of Metro's Leyland Nationals, though this one came via Cresswell of Delaraine whose livery it still wore back in February 2019. Sims numbered the 1976 bus 4 (DG5476), but it left Metro as 658 (GT7759).

 Despite bearing the registration CZ6186 it has not been possible to trace the original identity of this National.

 Being reclaimed by the landscape, 622 (DC3123) was thought easier to identify, still bearing its original fleet number if not its rego, GT8530. However 622 is listed by Bus Australia as DC3122 with DC3123 belonging to former 612.

 A fourth National, with CZ6186 in Sims' sheds was completely bereft of identification could be 608 (CZ8126) the last National recorded with Sims by Bus Australia.
