 Lined up in the depot in November 2017 was the trio of Dennings in Shuttle livery: 43, 78 and 42. The Visitor Shuttle ended in August that year, Driver advising the Council that they were waisting money with the competition not only from City Sightseeing, but also the new Free Tram Zone in the CBD which put many of the tour stops within the free zone. The buses have had their Shuttle decals removed.

 A mammoth rail replacement exercise throughout January 2019 saw the Dennings had at work. Here is 43, repainted in plain white, at the back of Federation Square with a Simcock's coach and a fleet Higer A30 bodied Scania. Many other vehicles in use were standard buses so passengers were in for a treat when they boarded these Driver buses with smart interiors and comfy coach style seats.

 On the same work was 42, also in unadorned white, but out at Dandenong Station.

 The Dennings have ended up at Hastings depot where they were seen lined up in April 2021 on the occasion of the Bus & Coach Socity of Victoria's celebratory visit to Drivers on the company's 90th birthday. From left to right we have 59 (1059AO), 43, 42 and then all Denning 41 (5392AO). The latter was the bus acquired as a back up for the Visitor Shuttle service and is presented in the new fleet livery. Bus 43 has lost its front fleetname and all three are thought to be in plain white at the time. Their current use is primarily for schools.
