I will confirm that they are at NZCS depot. Purpose, not too sure, as Wellington has changed to PTOM [Public Transport Operating Model] contracts for the Hutt Valley in mid June, and Wellington City, Poririua and the Kapiti Coast next weekend, the 15th, July. Scott does great justice to the NZ Bus scene with his photography....the way he is going. he will be greeted by a haka on his next visit !

Thanks Peter.I don't think that New Zealand Coach Service had METLINK school contracts.I think they may have a few Ministry of Education school contracts and some private school contracts.Certaintly a fair investment if the deckers are to be used purely as school charter buses,without school contracts.Something to check.Scott does great justice to the many places he visits with his photography.
Certaintly great changes to the operating companies on the METLINK contracts with the rise of Tranzit in the Hutt Valley,Porirua ,UZABUS on the Kapiti Coast and the decline of NZ Bus and Mana,in particular.
