 This page features a number of pictures taken at the company's Dairy Flat depot in November 2017. Here we see a new look Coach Design bodied Scania K400EB built that year, 148 (KWL4), in a contract livery for Grand Pacific Tours. The silver colour has now been adopted as standard for the coach fleet. The coach is sandwiched between 78 (XZ1348), one of the ubiquitous (in Australia) ex Tokyo Expo Fuji bodied Volvo B10ML and 122 (FLU881) an Irizar Century bodied Scania K420EB of 2010, the only Irizar in the fleet at the time.

 This view features another Japanese import, the integral Mitsubishi Fuso Aero Star, 103 (EGP214) was imported with several similar machines. This one dates from 1994 and is seen in company with three of the ten Youngman JNP6130 Chinese built buses in the fleet, and two unidentified older fleet members. The Youngmans have since been repainted in AT Metro livery, as worn by Designline bodied bus in the row behind. This is thought to be one of two Kiwi bodied MAN 12.210 of 2008, but as photographed it bears the identity of one of the Youngman buses, BA144 (KJQ803).

 An interesting mix in this over the fence view. The Isuzu DJR580 nearest the camera with the angled windshield is 21 (ARF494) bodied by Hawke in 1994. Alongside is 90 appropriately registered DAF121, a DAF SB220, one of several acquired from TIBS in Singapore with Hispano Carrocera bodywork but now 26 years old. The next bus in line has rego HG1863 but no further information is known.
