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.

"We booked Stanley Travel for outward and return journeys on a school residential. On each occasion, the coach arrived in good time. It was clean and comfortable, with adjustable seats. Both drivers were courteous and friendly. Tony was particularly helpful and gave us a lovely smooth drive too. The value for money was outstanding. I would unhesitatingly recommend Stanley Travel to other schools."

"The driver was on time, extremely friendly and didn’t mind that we were covered in mud/water from our trip to it’s a knockout! He also waited for us which meant that we didn’t have to wait around when the activity finished. I would highly recommend Stanley travel if you are looking to book a stress free journey "

"The journey went really well. The driver was on time at the first pickup and very polite, I didn't need to give any instructions about further pickups or the destination. As we were leaving the bus on arrival he gave me his contact details in the event we finished earlier that expected and explained where he would be. The vehicle was very clean and comfortable and I had lots of good feedback from the passengers. Thank you Stanley Travel for making our journey run so smoothly, we will be using you in the future!"

"Just arrived home after a five day trip with 37 school kids to Paris, driven by two of your drivers Malcolm & Davy. What can I say? Absolute professionals! Great manner and rapport with the kids; extremely knowledgeable about Paris & the surrounding area; bent over backwards to fit in last minute tweaks to our programme, and absolutely unflappable! After less than a day with them, they felt like part of our staff (in fact, I probably get on better with them than some of our staff). After 25 years of teaching, and loads of coach trips, both here and abroad, they're just about the best I've come across - our kids thought they were great too. They can also tuck away almost as many doughnuts and chocolate eclairs as I can!!"
