 The Plaxton and Enviros were not the only interesting buses in the Swanson depot. Nearer the camera is 353 (JUM530) a 2016 Kiwi bodied Scania K230UB, one of a pair bought that year alongside another pair with Caetano bodies for use in Dunedin. More interesting is the bus on the right, 655 (BMZ534), a 2003 Designline Designtech Macrotech integral, one of eight in the fleet, all alocated to Swanson, but the only one in AT Metro livery back in 2017.

 The Designline Enviroline body is very popular in the fleet with well over sixty, the numbers swollen since the takeover of Birkenhead Transport. Most, like RT803 (GCN782), are on MAN chassis, though a few are Scanias. This is a 2011 build MAN 18.280 alongside year old BCI bodied Scania K230UB 1519 (KCS646).

 A similar pairing is 2012 Designline Enviroline bodied MAN 12.240 330 (GLJ779) and 2016 BCI Citirider integral RT1511 (KBP787).

 Gemilang bodied MAN 18.250 RT329 (HZL856) was new in 2015 and an ex demonstrator. The bodywork style will be familiar to visitors to Singapore.
