History
In the 1930s Ernest Harding commenced operating a bus service from Redditch to Longbridge to convey workers to the Austin plant. The business expanded with the purchase of Dyson Miniline, Everton Coaches of Droitwich in 1983 and Dale Hire of Astwood Bank in February 1997.[2]
In July 2011 the company[3] was placed in administration.[4][5] Five bus routes were operated under contract to Worcestershire County Council, these were taken over by First Midland Red.
In August 2011 John and Roger Dyson purchased the trading name and some of the coaches from the administrator.[2]
