 The finishing touches are being put to the Northern Express branded Scania K270UB at the Tauranga works of Kiwi Bus Builders in April 2008. |

 In Auckland a few days later an earlier three year old Designline bodied Scania L94UB, 713 (CZP509) is seen at Britomart on the Northern Express service which crosses the Harbour Bridge and takes the new busway (BRT) up the Twin Coast Highway towards Albany and beyond. With its depot and bus network around Albany Ritchies was best placed to run the Northern Express and has grown with the service over the years. The Scania has since transferred to Murphy Buses as their 9832 (LEA930). |

 Newly delivered Kiwi bodied K270UB 639 (ELA280) is also seen in a damp Britomart. The MAXX branding - and blue livery - was introduced in 2001 for local trains and other express bus routes, but was dropped from 2012, being deemed weak and irrelevant. |

 This Designline bodied L94UB 707 (CYE51), new with 713, followed it to Murphys as 9826, but kept its rego. |

 This Designline bodied Scania is seen from the front window of another Northern Express. |
