As we turned 60th in 2021, Stanley Travel continues to be a dominant force on the travel and transport landscape. We dedicate ourselves to continual and thorough checks and reviews to ensure every process, every journey, and every vehicle, matches the high standards and long-standing family beliefs of our founder, and father, Robert McGill Scott, when he started the business in 1961.
Back then we were Stanley Taxis, with just two taxis in a wooden hut. Today, we have over 80 vehicles and are North Durham's largest taxi operator and a major employer with more than 90 staff. We still offer taxi services across the region, but we also have coach services, day trips and bus services, as well as corporate travel at both home and abroad.
We are continuing to make regular investments in innovative training and accreditation's to ensure our employees follow the beliefs that make us proud of our family business, as well as investing in a fleet of high-quality, modern, safe vehicles. To that end, we are honoured to be one of only a few coach operators in the country to be part of the Guild of British Coach Operators - we're also the only North East operator!

Earned recognition is a new way for vehicle operators to prove they meet driver and vehicle standards.
Participants regularly share performance information with the DVSA and in return, their vehicles are less likely to be stopped for inspections.
Earned Recognition is accredited to operators who record and submit data which satisfies key performance indicators relevant to vehicle maintenance, drivers' hours and recognises operators that show high standards of compliance.
The DVSA admit that roadside checks cost operators time and money and use up their own resources.
