 Seen in a depot line up in March 2016 was 37 (3453MO) a 1995 P&D bodied Hino RG197K relegated to school bus duties, no doubt filling all of its 57 seats.

 A newer Hino, still bodied by P&D is 8 (5237MO), a 2014 RN8J. The Hino is configured as a 67 seat school bus.

 Two MCA Motorcoach bodied Hinos are, on the left, 35 (3441MO) a 1993 RG197K, and, on the right, 5 (3445MO) a 1997 RG230. The RG197K was replaced by a new Bustech XDi 35 (8838MO) at the end of 2018.

 The long standing loyalty to Hino was broken, perhaps forever, in 2014 when the company turned to Australian builder Bustech. This is integral XDi 4 (7729MO), with Bustech bodywork, it also meant the end of new P&D bodies in the fleet.

 Recent deliveries have been of Bustech XDi and SDi models, but between 2007 and 2009 five Bustech VST bodied Volvo B12BLE buses (37 to 42) joined the fleet. This is the last 42 (6263MO) from 2009.
