Our HistoryRed Bus Coach Service is operated by The Entrance Red Bus Services who have been operating coach and bus services since the 1940’s under such names as Central Coast Coach Service, Central Coast Coaches Newcastle and Gosford, Red Coaches The Entrance - Gosford and the famous Central Coast Airbus.
In the 1950’swe operated the first mainland coach services into Tasmania on the Princess of Tasmania and operated the Snowy Mountains Tourist Service out of Cooma through the snowfields and have operated coach trips and tours all around Australia.
After 75 yearsof operation the quality of our coaches and our services are reflected by the number of interstate schools that book our coaches to meet them in Canberra for week long tours. Red Bus Coach Services believes if you want the best then forget the rest, you may find cheaper but you will not find better. Call Red Bus Coach Services for that package that makes your trip or tour that extra bit special.

Our StaffSandie has held many positions and is a very valuable employee who has shown flexibility and willingness to take on any responsibility as the need arises.
In the early days of her employment, Sandie was very involved with taking bookings for the Central Coast Airbus that operated between the Central Coast and Sydney Airport. Sandie eventually took over the managing of this service to ensure there were no mistakes as she understood the importance of people needing an assurance to meet flights and other important commitments.
With all Sandie’s years of expertise and experience the natural progression for her was to handle the ever growing charter booking
area of Red Bus. Sandie has a very good and close working relationship with the Central Coast schools that use our services and will make every effort to make sure that Red Bus will provide the service that the customer wants when they want it. Most of these schools have been dealing with Sandie for over 20 years.
While retaining the school charter bookings, Sandie has now also moved into assisting with Coach Bookings for those extended trips and tours. Red Bus Services are sure that if you want that extra personal-ised treatment and the best possible understanding of your needs and what is possible and achievable for the best prices then we suggest that you contact Sandie on 4332 8655.
Steve started driving buses as a driver, but the company soon saw the potential of advancing Stephen into office work.
Stephen introduced and implemented a road safety program aimed at teaching primary school-aged children the safe way to behave when travelling on a bus and around the road while waiting to catch the bus. It was while he was running this program that the students nicknamed him gumnuts because of his hat and many of them still approach him on the street or in shopping centres to talk to him.
He advanced into the Companies School Student Transport Scheme and student behaviour area and has dealt with schools on all levels. He has also had a vast experience in the operational side or day to day
operations of the bus services across our network of route services.
With the introduction of the school opal cards Stephen expressed a desire to transfer over to coach operations after having driven many to varied locations.
Stephen works very closely with our schools charters section and while Stephen is only new to coach trips and tours his vast experience with route and school buses added to his sales experience. We are hopeful that Stephen will advance us into the next level.
If you want that personal service on your next coach trip and do not want to be treated just like another number then ring and speak to Steve on 4332 8655.

Bus Safety The Entrance Red Bus Services, School Bus Safety Programme
The programme is aimed at teaching younger students safe behaviour while on the bus.
It also teaches them the safe way to wait at the bus stop and to wait for the bus to leave and look both ways before crossing the road. This programme has been run by Stephen (Gumnuts) O’Brien for many years who has taken it to most primary schools on the Central Coast.
If his and our efforts have saved one young child’s life, it has been worthwhile.
