In January 1986, Hornibrook purchased four Volvo B10MA articulated buses which had seen short service in Japan for the Tsukuba service. These high capacity vehicles were deployed into the highly populated city services. On April 1986 a vacant block of land at Grice Street in Clontarf was purchased from the Redcliffe City Council in order to establish a new depot and office facility. The new Clonatrf depot officially opened in June 1986 at a cost of $1 million which was in part financed by the sale of the Klingner Road premises. Hornibrook Bus Lines General manager Ray White( right) pictured taking delivery of the first of four new new Volvo B10MA articulated buses bodied by Fuji Heavy Industries in Japan.
