History
editEstablished in 1986 after the acquisition of the Dooralong to Wyong bus run from local operator James McElhinney, Coastal Liner commenced operating under its original business name of Dooralong Valley Bus Service. In 1988 owner Frank Caruna acquired the bus runs previously operated by Coast and Country (Len Robson), covering parts of Dooralong, Jilliby, Wyee and Warnervale, with the fleet increasing from two to three.[1][2][3][4]
In August 2018 the business was purchased by ComfortDelGro Australia with the routes absorbed by Hunter Valley Buses.[5][6][7] However, as of March 2020, the brand continues to exist as a division of Hunter Valley Buses.[8]
