It is all happening here on Beach Street near Britomart. On the elft with an advert rear end is NZ Bus Enviro200 NB4295 (HCZ884). Two of their Enviro500 buses can be seen with NB5005 (JTC902) heading away to the west and NB5010 (JTR196) approaching the camera. Howick & Eastern buses are kerbside with Designline bodied MAN 17.223 222 (DLT925) - note this bus has been repainted into AT Metro livery - and Enviro500 HE508 yet again.

The back fence of the East Tamaki depot was a wall of Enviro500 doubledeckers on a Sunday in early November 2017. From left to right are 510 (JYS382), 501 (JPH48), 511 (JYS398), 503 (JQD46) and 512 (JYS404) - all Kiwi completed buses.

...and here is the shunter at work minutes before slotting 511 into the line. Designline bodied MAN 17.223 213 (BPA791) is parked on the right. How much more interesting would the doubledeckers have been had they arrived in original livery?
