The Dyson Group is an Australian operator of buses and coaches in Victoria.
Dyson's Bus Services was founded in June 1952 when Laurie Dyson purchased the business of Ned Gastin with route 46A Regent station to Janefield Hospital. Over the years a number of routes and businesses were purchased both within Melbourne and in regional Victoria:
As well as route services in Melbourne, since the late 1970s Dyson have operated services under contract to V/Line. In February 1989, all of Dyson's existing long coach services were integrated into the V/Line network. Dyson operate V/Line services as far afield as Batemans Bay, Canberra, Griffith and Adelaide.
Until December 2007, Dyson operated a service in New South Wales between Parkes and Condobolin under contract to CountryLink. In January 2015, Dyson commenced operating five-year contracts to operate services for NSW TrainLink from Wagga Wagga to Griffith, Cootamundra to Tumbarumba, Cootamundra to Bathurst/Dubbo and Parkes to Condobolin.
