In 2005 Motts moved into brand new purpose built premises near the centre of Aylesbury. This enabled them to close depots at Kingswood, Stone and Stoke Mandeville.
The well laid out new facility has marked parking bays. Sandwiched in a line up of Tigers here in July are "OMD" and a pair of the ex East Kent Metrobuses.

In summer 2004 the Showbus team took former Maidstone Bololine 753 (E153OMD) back to Maidstone for the Maidstone Corporation centenary rally. Arriva are the successors to the
Corporation routes. OMD is sandwiched between two Arriva buses on display at the event in the town centre. On the left is a new Wright bodied
VDL SB200 for the Park & Ride services and on the right a Plaxton bodied Dart, 3176 (P176LKL), in commemorative livery. More pictures of the event can be seen in the
Maidstone Corporation gallery.
