COMPANY 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.

 

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.

 

The company philosophy is to provide reliable, friendly bus and coach services and for our passengers to feel part of the family.
