In the left hand shed the bus on the end, Custom SB40 bodied Hino RK8J of 2009, 24 (976LSO), is the only one posing for the camera. In order the next three Hinos, seen in the top photograph, are SB40 bodied RK260 buses 6 (742JMV) and 7 (222IMI) dating from 2006 and 2005 respectively then Chiron-UBC CS120 bodied RN8J 9 (169SDW) of 2010.

With the little 39 seater FD166L was this graffitied former Surfside PMCA 160 bodied Hino RG197K 546 (5302MO) which was presumably being used for spare parts.
