Mention has already been made of the Airliner service commenced the previous July. A second route was added in 2004, but lasted just over four years, the original A1 route died in 2011. Custom CB20 bodied Mercedes LO812 88 (MO145) is seen on the A1, the bus was new to National in Melbourne as 411 (FXT071).

Deane's also operated a small coach fleet acquired with the Edwards of Eden operations. This Volgren CR221 bodied Volvo B10M, 126 (2661MO), seen in Canberra's coach station, was new as Edward's V11 (TV2078) in 1996, doubtless it is still in Edward's livery. It was sold to Deluxe Coachlines in Victoria as 2529AC in 2010, but withdrawn after an engine fire and scrapped. |

The name Deane has returned to Canberra. This Coach Concepts bodied coach is probably on a Volvo B8R chassis and was seen in Sydney in December 2022. This incarnation of Deane's is based at Polo Flat in NSW, but also has a depot in Canberra, however it is thought to be associated with the North Shore Deane's bus and coach services based as Macquarie Park which ceased operations in 1989.
