History
North Somerset Coaches was
founded in 1969, and grew through the 1970’s operating a variety of unusual
vehicles serving many long-standing local customers and a regular school run
from Yatton to Backwell School that still runs today.
The fleet livery was
initially white and black, which changed to cream with orange and brown stripes
in typical late 70’s fashion! This gave way to more plain schemes in the
1980’s, and overall white or red in the 90’s
The founder decided to take
early retirement in 2007 and the company changed hands; the new owner taking on
the challenge of bringing the company into the 21st century.
Investment in modern vehicles,
and diversification into local bus services, has seen the company profile
raised and the name now firmly re-established around Nailsea and Backwell.
The 40th
anniversary celebrations in 2009 saw all the bus services run by vintage buses
for one day, indulging in some wonderful nostalgia thanks to the kindness of
Dr. Mike Walker of the Bristol Omnibus Vehicle Collection. Such was the support
we hope to make this an annual event!
The company philosophy is to
provide reliable, friendly bus and coach services and for our passengers to
feel part of the family!
