 A visit to O'Neill's depot in Cygnet, south of Hobart, in February 2019 found an interesting collection of vehicles, largely used on school contracts. This Newnham bodied Hino RG197K, C35ZQ, was new in 1993 to Dysons where it had been 2 (4201AO). With the depot on a slight hillside the bus is somewhat precariously perched on a platform jutting out at right angles from the depot shed.

 A pair of ABM Starliner bodied Renault MRC buses joined the fleet that had been new to the Dineen Group, passed to Brunswick Valley Coaches but acquired by O'Neill from Blanch in Ballina. This is H19GR, new in 1998 as 3277AO with Westernport Road Lines, becoming 27 (3118MO) with Brunswick and fleet number 51 with Blanch whose livery it retains.
