Post by Busman69 »

It is with sadness, we acknowledge the passing of Les Dion Senior on the weekend just passed, a true legend of the NSW Bus Industry.

Quite by co-incidence I posted some old photos I found of Dion's depot in 1973-74 on a Facebook page just a couple of days ago.

One of those old buses is still on the back of their property - you can see it from the Northern Distributer.
