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.

"I just want to say a massive thank you to Grant (our driver). He has a massive job of driving 15 lasses for a hen party and I know we can be a loud bunch but he was so friendly and made sure we were all ok on both journeys. He really had me at ease as soon as I stepped on the bus and knew we were taken care of. The bus was immaculately clean and comfortable. Anytime I have journeys like that I would highly recommend Stanley Travel."

"The journey was great and the driver was very punctual and friendly. He was at the pick-up location early and the first coach to arrive at the venue for the return journey so we could get away as quick as possible, which was great after a very long day. The coach was both clean and comfortable. I will be recommending to next years competition co-ordinator to book coaches for all of the competitions with Stanley Travel as they always quoted the cheapest price and provided a great service."
