About
In 2009, we joined the UK Coach Industry’s most elite operators by becoming one of only 38 in the country to be awarded the Coach Marque accredited by the Confederation of Passenger Transport in recognition of the quality and consistency of our services. in 2018 we were one of only 11 foundung members of the DVSA's EARNED RECOGNITION scheme for coach operators
Before the award, we’ve always kept our services customer-focused, with a dedication to providing the same quality services and long-standing family beliefs that Robert McGill Scott had, in 1961.
It was Robert who started Stanley Taxis (as we were known back then), with two cars in a wooden hut, more than 50 years ago. Since then, our family business has grown considerably, but we remain the same people at heart. With over 75 vehicles and employing more than 70 people, Stanley Travel – as we’re known today – is the largest taxi operator and one of the major employers in the North Durham region.
During the time of our ever-expanding company, we’ve become an ‘umbrella’ company for our travel brands – Stanley Taxis, Stanley Coaches, Stanley Fleetserve and The Bike Bus – all of which operate under the Stanley Travel parent company name.
We pride ourselves on only ever using high class, quality vehicles from respected manufacturers, alongside trained and qualified staff who are equally respected, reliable and dedicated to ensuring the expectations of our customers are met, if not exceeded. Our sole aim is to provide the “personal touch” – often so lacking in the transport and travel industry – to all of our customers, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

"Very impressed with the Driver he was pleasant, smart, and helpful and a very good driver his timing was excellent on both going and returning journeys' . Vehicle was very clean although seats were a bit uncomfortable think it was because of 2 one side and 3 on other making them a bit tight. Okay for a short journey or children. Thanks again excellent service.,"

"We hired this coach for a trip to Blackpool for our clients with a range of learning disabilities. There was good contact prior to our trip nothing was any trouble. Coach beautiful and clean very comfortable and roomy. The driver was amazing extremely helpful friendly approachable. The driver even went out and bought cd's for our clients to listen and sing along with on the way home.
