 Carrying both O'Driscoll Coaches and Derwent Valley Link fleet names is a rarity in the shape of a Spartan TB275 dating from 2001. On the same private hire as 32, 28 (B58NG) has a Custom 510 body and was new to Fearne's Bus Service as MO5063 in Wagga Wagga. As the livery suggests it was acquired from Fearne's Busabout in Wagga Wagga where it was 3992MO. |
 Seen in February 2019 across old railway lines and down the side of the depot is almost certainly the retired Spartan, with Tiger 29 blocking it in.

 Two more withdrawn Tigers were in the yard, void of fleet numbers, regos and fleet names. O'Driscoll had three other Tigers, another from Ventura, 27 (A39RJ), which went for preservation in 2014. So this is one of the remaining pair which were acquired from Bus Queensland, but were new to North & Western in 1986. Both passed with the North & Western business to Sydney Buses and on to Crossley Bus Lines and later still to Kynoch Coaches in Toowoomba who were taken over by Bus Queensland.

 This is the second of the pair, but which is which is unclear. They were 33 & 34 (B33QU & B34QU) in Tasmania, 74 & 75 (259GPA & 488HBO) in Queensland, MO002 & MO248 with Crossley Bus Lines, 3578 & 3579 (MO1030 & 7871) with Sydney Buses and MO351 & MO547 with North & Western.

 Part of the active fleet was Custom 210 bodied Hino RG197K, 26 (EP5548) new to Bathurst Coaches in 1993 as 17 (MO2531). It was first acquired by Ace Bus Service of Montrose where it was also 26 (EP5548) but it has since been re-registered XT59AO with O'Driscoll.
