Deanes Coaches was an Australian bus company operating route bus services and charter coaches on Sydney's North Shore.

History

Deanes Coaches was formed in the 1950s as Turramurra-Bobbin Head Bus Service by Ron Deane. On 1 July 1968, Longueville Motor Bus Company was purchased with route 127 Longueville to Chatswood station and Longueville to Wynyard. In November 1970, Barnes Coaches was purchased with routes 54 Chatswood station to Macquarie University, 124 Chatswood to Lindfield, 221 Lindfield to Bradfield Park and 224 Tambourne Bay to Wynyard via Northwood.[1][2][3][4]

In May 1977, a new depot was opened in Macquarie Park to replace the Carlingford and Turramurra facilies. Routes 54, 124 and 221 were also transferred here from Lane Cove allowing the Blaxlands Corner depot to close. In December 1977, the Longueville and Northwood services were sold to Bernie Best as Lane Cove Bus Service with eight buses.[1] In June 1986, route 54 was sold to North & Western Bus Lines.[5]

In December 1988, routes 564 and 565 were sold to East Lindfield - Killara Bus Service with six buses and the remainder of the routes sold to Hornsby Bus Group in January 1989 with 21 buses and four coaches.[6]

The Deanes Coaches name has been revived by Ron Deane's sons Matthew and Brenton, who have operated Forster Bus Service since January 1999.[7][8]

Other interests

The Deane family have for many years operated ski lodges in the Snowy Mountains with Deane's buses sometimes transferred here in the ski season.[9]

From October 1964 until October 1985, Ron Deane also owned Clipper Tours.[10] Shortly before the sale of Deanes Coaches, in August 1988, Ron Deane purchased Menai Bus Service with six buses transferred from Macquarie Park.[11][12]
