Founding Years: Ross Taxis and Minibuses
The story began in 1968 when Peter Ross started Ross Taxi’s with an Austin 1800 as his private car, operating from his residence on Church Lane. Equipped with a Hackney carriage plate, Mr. Ross ventured into the taxi business in Pontefract. By 1969, the taxi fleet expanded to five cars, and in 1970, Peter secured a contract to transport staff through the night, leading to the purchase of a 12-seater transit minibus. This marked the beginning of Ross Travel’s venture into minibus hire and coaches.
1971: First 20 Seater Coach and New Premises
Recognising the need for larger premises to accommodate the growing minibus and coach business, Ross Travel moved to Church Court in 1971. The acquisition of the first 20-seater coach signalled a strategic shift away from taxis, setting the stage for further expansion.
1974: Continued Growth and New Premises
As the fleet expanded to approximately 12 vehicles, predominantly full-size coaches, the company quickly outgrew its premises. In 1984, Mr. Ross secured the premises on Allison Street, Featherstone. Over the years, the facilities underwent developments, with a garage and offices built in 1984 and yard premises expanded in 2016, now capable of housing at least 12 additional vehicles. to facilitate the uk coach holidays business.
1990: Introduction of Disabled Coach Hire
In the early 1990s, Ross Travel diversified its services by introducing Disabled Coach Hire, a groundbreaking initiative catering to individuals with accessibility difficulties. Additionally, the company launched “Featherstone Rover,” a local stage carriage service for the community.
