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.

"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."

"We used Stanley Travel to go down to London with a group of college students. They arrived early to allow for us to organise students and where really accommodating whilst having to take an emergency detour to hospital on route to London. They were happy to help and made it less stressful for everyone involved. Whilst in London they ensured the Coach arrived on time for the days activities and where more than willing to travel to different places if required being very professional throughout the trip . David acted as a London tour guide also sharing his knowledge with the rest of the group about local attractions. The students described both Tony and David as friendly, funny and approachable and they made the stay in London less stressful knowing the coach was on hand if required."
