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.

"Stanley Travel were fabulous all the way through our planning our group trip. Very accommodating and understanding. The drivers were all helpful, patient and Aaron in particular went out of his way to predict the needs of our group - well done and thank you Aaron! Our only negative was the toilets on the coaches. Twice the coach arrived with a blocked toilet and once with no hand wash or towels."

"The coach arrived in good time for an extremely comfortable journey to Bradford Cathedral. The driver, Tony, was excellent. Nothing was too much trouble for him and he engaged with everyone so professionally. The vehicle was immaculately clean, including the toilet. I would totally recommend Stanley Travel."

"We are a repeat customer of Stanley Travel and I use them because they do exactly what you would expect and hope them to do. The drivers details including name and mobile number were provided a few days in advance of the journey. The modern, clean, and comfortable bus turned up early and was happy to wait for my party even though we were running slightly late, the driver was smartly dressed, and politely greeted my guests as they boarded the vehicle. We were travelling on a busy route but the driver skillfully managed to make good time and drop us off where we needed to be."
Would they recommend: Yes

"I have used Stanley Travel for a week of travel for a group of students staying at Durham University. This included travel by coach and taxi. All vehicles have been on time and spotlessly clean. Drivers have all been professional, friendly and helpful with any requests. The organisation from Stanley Travel has been excellent going above and beyond with last minute requests. I would not hesitate in recommending Stanley Travel to others."
