Seen at Railway Square with a more modestly sized fleetname, B10MA 1454 (MO1454) wishes everyone a "Happy Easter" in April 2012.

This second view of the nearside of Easter bus 1454 shows a larger sized fleetname on this side.

Afternoon rush hour between Christmas and the New Year in 2008 and queues of Hillsbus vehicles are lined up outside the Town Hall ready to swoop on the QVB George Street bus stops and gobble up the queues of commuters heading home to the hills. Volvo B10MA 1454 is outside triaxle Volgren bodied Scania K310UB 9506 (MO9506). The busy commuter routes are often at capacity, but the tri-axles found favour over the articulated Volvos, doubtless they gave a superior ride. They held sway until the Bustech deckers appeared on the scene in 2013.
