As the rain continued to bucket down, 19 (6620MO), a 2010 group standard delivery of a Bustech VST body on a low floor Mercedes O500LE chassis, was wisely taking shelter in the depot sheds.

No such luck for the bulk of the fleet left to their own devices in the extensive yard. Nearest the camera is Bustech SBV bodied Volvo B7R 53 (6738MO), also delivered in 2010.

Last, and by all means least - at least in size - is Fuso Rosa 10 (6831MO), also built in 2010, but not entering service until the following year. In 2015 it was the only small bus in the fleet.

Just before Christmas in 2020 a row of buses were seen at the front of the depot yard. From left to right we have 2002 Volvo B7R Bustech 3 (4830O), 2009 B7R Bustech SBV 49 (1708MO), 1999 Mercedes O400 Custom 516 41 (4841MO) and 42 (4842MO), then an unidentfied CUstom bodied bus, probably a Mercedes, with 2013 O500LE Bustech VST 18 (7382MO) on the end.

At the back of the depot that day was a line up of withdrawn buses, probably from across the Group, with some in Bathurst's old colours.
