HistoryDion's Bus Service was founded in 1923 when Thomas Dion commenced operating a service from Wollongong to Balgownie followed by a service to Bellambi.[2][3] It is currently the oldest operating bus operator in the Illawarra.[4][5] From December 1927 until 1931 a coach service was operated to Sydney. In January 1928 it commenced operating route 1 services from Wollongong to Austinmer, along with five other operators. In August 1929, Barney Dion commenced operating a service from Wollongong to Kiama.[3] In the late 1940s, the Balgownie and Bellambi routes were sold. By 1964, through a number of acquisitions, the Austinmer service was operated jointly by Dion's and Jim Hill. In December 1976, Dion's became the sole operator of the service and in the same year, selling the Kiama service to John J Hill at the same time.[3] On 24 February 1992, route 4 Wollongong to Bulli was purchased from John J Hill.[2][6] ServicesDion's operates services in the Outer Sydney Metropolitan Bus Service Region 12,[7] which originally used to be part of Region 9 when the latter was created in 2008.[8] They operate 6 routes in the northern and central suburbs of Wollongong:[9] On 1 April 2019 their routes were renumbered as follows:[10]
A number of community and government stakeholders funded Dion's "Wollongong Summer Bus", a late night bus service run in central Wollongong during the summer months. The Summer Bus was a drink-drive and drink-walk prevention strategy supported by licensed venues as well as local government, health, police and transport authorities.[12] It no longer operates since route 94N now operates for extended hours on Friday and Saturday nights.[13] FleetAs at April 2019, the fleet comprised 22 buses.[14] The fleet livery was blue and white until 1989 when a metallic grey, blue and black livery was introduced. In 2010, the Transport for NSW white and blue livery was adopted. In the 1950s and 1960s, Dion's built their own bodies on second-hand Leyland Comet truck chassis. In 1989, Dion's purchased two Hinos, these were the first new buses in over 40 years.[3][15] References1. ^[https://connectonline.asic.gov.au/RegistrySearch/faces/landing/panelSearch.jspx?searchText=Seapost+Pty+Ltd&searchType=OrgAndBusNm&searchTab=search&_adf.ctrl-state=6lb6r1r10_4 Seapost Pty Ltd] Australian Securities & Investments Commission 2. ^1 {{cite book|title=New South Wales Bus Operators and Fleet Listings|year=1993|publisher=Historic Commercial Vehicle Association|location=Sydney|page=16}} 3. ^1 2 3 History Dion's Bus Service 4. ^At 85 And Going Strong, Les Dion Keeps On Bussing, Boat Seat, Published 9 April 2005, Retrieved 7 December 2014 5. ^Passengers ride with Dions legend Illawarra Mercury 2 December 2013 6. ^"Routes, timetables and services" Fleetline issue 210 January 1993 page 15 7. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.transport.nsw.gov.au/data-and-research/passenger-travel/buses-on-time-running|title=Sydney Metropolitan and Outer Metropolitan Bus Service Contract on time running results|publisher=Transport for NSW|date=December 2017|accessdate=13 February 2018}} 8. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.transport.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/b2b/abouttrans/Outer-Metro-Regions-9-10.pdf|title=Outer Metropolitan Sydney Bus Contract Regions 9 and 10|publisher=NSW Government Transport and Infrastructure|accessdate=8 July 2014|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20140714162846/http://www.transport.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/b2b/abouttrans/Outer-Metro-Regions-9-10.pdf|archivedate=14 July 2014|dead-url=yes}} 9. ^Dion's Timetables Dion's Bus Service 10. ^[https://dions.com.au/news-m/70-bus-route-number-changes-from-monday-1-april-2019 Bus Route Number & Name Changes from Monday 1 April 2019] Dions 11. ^Free Shuttle Buses University of Wollongong 12. ^[https://web.archive.org/web/20130719092431/http://www.nightbus.com.au/wollongong-thirroul Wollongong / Thirroul] Nightbus archived 19 July 2013 13. ^Wollongong / Thirroul Nightbus retrieved 6 January 2015 14. ^Dion's Bus Service Australian Bus Fleet Lists 15. ^"Dion's Bus Service" Fleetline issue 177 April 1990 page 61 External links
