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.

"Our journey to Butterfly World, was fantastic! The driver had the utmost care and compassion for his passengers, he was friendly, understanding of their needs and very patient. The drive from Newcastle was smooth and relaxing. At our next Committee Meeting I aim to promote Stanley Travel for future events we host at a long distance and when we have a lot of people who need transporting. Thank you to all the team involved, this was my first time booking with Stanley Travel and it certainly won't be the last."

"I needed to book a coach at very short notice to collect a group of young adults from Consett & return them to Houghton Le Spring on Sunday morning 28th January. One very easy phone call secured the coach booking. The driver was very pleasant & communicative, the coach extremely clean and the agreed timings were met perfectly. Would not hesitate to use Stanley Coaches in the future or recommend them."
