 A number of H&E MAN buses was transferred south to the associated MANA company in the Wellington area. In service in Titahi Bay is 1999 build Designline bodied MAN 11.190 213 (YO5243), which had been 113 in Auckland. The buses are being repainted in MANA's lime green livery but make do with prominent stickers initially. The bus is seen at the end of October 2017.

 Most buses transferred are Designline bodied, but the opportunity was taken to get rid of all bar one (129) of the Fairfax bodied examples. Former H&E 127, a MAN 12.220 of 2001, now 211 (EBE760), is seen on the same day at the Paraparaumu depot in Hinemoa Street.
