Australia Wide Coaches is an Australian coach company operating charter services, an express service between Orange and Sydney and services in Central West New South Wales under contract to NSW TrainLink.

History[edit]

Australia Wide Coaches was founded by Richard Dawes and Phil Langley in 1993 in Dubbo.[1]

In October 2009, the coach operations of Selwoods Coaches, Orange were purchased. Selwoods had been operating a service from Orange to Sydney since April 1989.[2] Since June 1990, Selwoods had been operating services under contract to CountryLink from Lithgow to Orange, Grenfell and Parkes.[3][4][5] Both of these remain in operation today.[6][7][8]

In November 2013, Australia Wide Coaches commenced operating Gray Line services in Sydney under licence to the Driver Group.[9]

On 2 September 2014, a service commenced operating between Orange and Canberra.[10] This has since ceased.

In February 2016, the office and depot relocated from MascottoAlexandria.

Fleet[edit]

As at February 2015, the fleet consisted of 16 coaches.[3] It commenced operations with an Austral Tourmaster[1] before gradually expanding with Scania coaches.[3]
