Blanchs Hino RG197K P&D 37
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.

Blanchs Bustech XDi 4
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.
