493 has been further renumbered here and is carrying its final number H6166. One constant through its whole operating life seems to have been the Hedges L260 snuff advert, which doesn't even seem to have ever been repainted.

The fleet name has lost its first letter making it sound more like a Japanese motor bike, but the panel where the missing letter would be is quite dirty, implying that any repair was done some time earlier.
