The Whenuapai Bus Company dated back to 1946, though has its origins before the war. In 1996 they soldout to Stagecoach who sold them on to Ritchies in late 1998. These pictures mostly date from April 2000 before the vehicles had been fully assimilated into Ritchies, mostly by adding 600 to their fleet numbers.

This 1985 Coachwork International bodied MAN SL200 was new to Auckland Regional Authority as 1683 (MH6114). Here it is in the city as Whenuapai 14.
|
 Possibly seen in 1992 waiting to depart downtown was this Hawke Commander bodied Bedford YRT of 1975, 7 (HO7409). The cavernous open side storage lockers for the likes of push chairs are visible. The Bedford survived long enough to become Ritchies 607. |
Bodied by Coachwork Auckland in 1995 was this rare NDNX Intrepid TCR240, 11 (TH3192), one of four owned.
|
Earlier the Volvo B6FA had been in favour, this CWI Hunter bodied example from 1986, 5 (MK8077).
|
The CWI Ranger body is on this B6FA, 15 (NO7085) of 1988.
