COACH HIRE FOR SCHOOLTRIPS
Introduction About your Transport Company?
We are a long established family company, celebrating 50 years of business this year, who pride ourselves on reliability and the quality of our vehicles. We operate taxis, mini-coaches and coaches, providing anything with 1-78 seats with wheelchair access across the range.
The majority of the work we do is for schools, colleges and universities, providing transport for the likes of; Gateshead College, Northumbria University, Durham University and Newcastle College.
As well as the above, we also operate a lot of tour work for national tour companies. We also operate our own holiday and day trip programs.
School Trip Experience?
With roads becoming ever more congested and the risks associated with
arranging school transport increasing, Stanley Travel has minibuses and
coaches perfectly matched to the requirements expected for local and long
distance trips.
We pride ourselves on being a reputable coach operator,
established since 1961 and have been offering coach services to schools,
colleges and universities for 50 years.
There are a number of simple checks that need to be carried out by schools and similar establishments that will assist you in deciding whether an operator is suitable to carry out your trip. At Stanley Travel we have been independently audited by CoachMarque to ensure that all of the required criteria are met.
We currently undertake many home to school contract journeys for Durham County Council and similar LEAs. On a regular basis we supply operator licence details and insurance documentation to the Transport Monitoring Officers and we can provide this information, on request, confirming that we are correctly licensed and operate within the guidelines set out by VOSA who regulate standards of maintenance and drivers’ hours compliance.
Stanley Travel’s driving staff has been checked by the Criminal Records Bureau to an enhanced level and all of our drivers have their driving licenses independently verified by a third party agency at least every three months.
Stanley Travel has 24 hour contingency plans in place in the event of breakdown or accident.
What size groups do they cater for?
