Seen pulling into the Northland Shopping Centre bound for Altona is MAN 16.240 Designline 634 (7257AO). The picture on the previous page at Altona on the opposite side of the city was taken on the same day having travelled the route thus far and stopping at Northland for a meal break before proceeding to Mordialloc.

Seen in the City in April 2010 on the 302 is National Bus Mercedes O405NH 716 (1716AO) in SmartBus livery, but minus the lettering on its Custom 550 body. The 900-series radial SmartBus routes were not due to be marketed as such until later in the year, but clearly preparations were under way.

Sister vehicle 728 (1728AO) is also seen in April 2010 similarly prepared but on its way out of service from Doncaster Bus Station to the local National Bus depot.
