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.

"Despite having to postpone due to Covid restrictions, Stanley Travel were excellent in doing all they could to fit in with our needs. Bus arrived 15 minutes early to pick us up, which meant we got the bikes loaded and were on our way in good time. Can't fault this company."

"I have just returned from a day trip with Stanley travel to the Lake District, can I just say how amazing the driver was after having a bit of a complication with the lack of coach parking when we arrived at Bowness he dealt with the issue in a professional way and made sure we still got Chance to get off at Bowness and have a couple of hours there before heading home."

"We used Stanley Travel to help us to get our bikes to Whitehaven for a one-day epic C2C ride to Tynemouth. They were absolutely brilliant and very patient with us as we did not know how many people were coming initially and also we had the added complication of social distancing to factor in after the lockdown had ended. Their communications before the trip were brilliant and they were very helpful and obliging as we got our date and final numbers agreed. On the day, the driver was excellent arriving punctually at 4am in the morning to take us from Tynemouth to Whitehaven. His estimate of the journey length was spot on and his driving impeccable. I’d definitely use Stanley Travel for trips like this in the future and recommend them highly to anyone doing the same."

"A group of 9 of us were recently diverted to Heathrow rather than landing in Newcastle . Due to Coronavirus we were struggling to get back home safely. We contacted Stanley Travel and they quickly agreed to provide our transport home despite the difficult circumstances. The coach was clean, warm and comfortable . Our drivers were helpful and friendly despite the stressful conditions. I can highly recommend Stanley Travel . Thank you"

"Having recently obtained a Routemaster bus, I decided to look at getting my class D and CPC licences. Stanley Travel came up as the best value for money and were genuinely interested in getting me the best deal. After passing the theory elements and getting a medical myself, the rest of my training and driving test was handled by Stanley in the price. All I had to do was turn up and do my best. After two days of intensive and wide ranging instruction from Dave, I had a day off then sat my test. Dave had taken me on all of the possible route combinations and given me a revision sheet to prepare for the test. The coaches were excellently maintained, clean and a pleasure to learn in. If you are serious about learning to drive a coach or bus, I cant recommend Stanley Travel enough. In sum, I passed first time, confidently and without excessive financial cost."
