A second view of 108 on Hoddle Street heading to The Pines shows the myriad of bus stop signs at the Johnston Street junction, one for normal services (246, 302, 304, 305, 309, 318, 350 and - out of sequence - 303), one for SmartBus routes (905, 906, 907 and 908), one for train replacement services and - slightly hidden behind - the real time SmartBus display sign. A Custom CB30 bodied MAN on the 246 has pulled up behind.

Later that year in December a delivery from a later batch, 380154 (BS03LM), a Scania K310UB, is seen in Melbourne Airport's barren new bus station on SmartBus 901. This bus was delivered new with its gargantuant fleet number. A properly liveried Volgren bodied SmartBus is on the stand behind, whilst a Tullamarine liveried Volgren Optimus bodied Mercedes O500LE, 35 (BS02JH), already badged CDC Melbourne overtakes on the infrequent 475.
