From Hoys to Deluxe Coachlines.
There was an atricle in 1 of the editions of the "Australasian Bus and Coach" magazine,possibly dated around 2005/2006.
It was a 2 page on the history.If anyone remembers the edition can you please mention it here?
I remember in 1985 and 1986 when driving for Across Australia Coachlines ,driving to Perth ,talking to 2 Deluxe drivers in a Denning.They bought their coach new and were subcontracting.

Re: From Hoys to Deluxe Coachlines.
Were there two Hoy's Bus companies, or just the original Wangaratta base with a Depot in a Melbourne suburb, somewhere around Mordialloc or Sandringham?
Re: From Hoys to Deluxe Coachlines.
I think their main base was always Wangaratta but they did set up depots in each state.Their Adelaide depot was Pope Street Beverley.It used to be part of the Adelaide Denning factory.alburybuses2 wrote:Were there two Hoy's Bus companies, or just the original Wangaratta base with a Depot in a Melbourne suburb, somewhere around Mordialloc or Sandringham?

Here's a great image, circa 1960, of two Mercedes coaches (O319's?) outside Hoy's in Bright.

Re: From Hoys to Deluxe Coachlines.
That's a White, MX-187, going down Murphy Street in 1970. Photo is from the State Library of Victoria, here's a closer look at the bus:
Re: From Hoys to Deluxe Coachlines.
Deluxe Coachlines final livery was mentioned in Truck & Bus magazine around 1988 maybe 1989.There was a sub contactor who had the livery first then Deluxe liked it so they used it.If anyone can remember the article can you scan and post it here please? Thanks.
