Arriva Yorkshire Takes Over Tates Travel Routes

Since Tates Travel ceased trading Arriva had taken over some routes as witch Stagecoach did as well so with February changes with Arriva means the have had to give up on 126/127 and give it to Dewsbury depot as Wakefield did 3 boards and gave Dewsbury the 3 buses witch Wakefield run on the service so Wakefield could run the routes they have just taken over from Tates Travel and got 3 buses on long term loan from Arriva Bus & Coach ( 1497 - YJ62 JWL , 1496 - YJ62 JXG , YJ58 FFA ) Seen one on 485 witch uses to be Tates Travel route This morning / I have been told Tates Travel as come back but under Glob Coaches I`ve seen two plan white solos on the 97 today coming out of Wakefield bus station , on address on side said Gloe Coaches

Goodbye to Tates Travel who ceased trading today

Sadly another company has ceased trading today, Tates Travel have gone into liquidation this afternoon. Thoughts go out to the stranded passengers trying to get home & to work and the drivers who don't have a job now, who as usual appear to have been kept in the dark, sad to see but it was a long time coming but gave a good fight till today Hope some company round Barnsley take the drivers & other staff on so they have a job. ( Company`s what was owned by Island Fortitude, Henderson Travel in Scotland, Eddie Brown, Bakers Coaches were 3 that failed then we go on to more companys, Silcox Coaches down south survived by being sold back to their original owners and Battersby Silver Grey nearly sold out but eventually was bought by Travellers Choice ) I think the current owners bought what was left of Tates from Island Fortitude, tried to turn the business around but obviously didn't work When they scurried away having grabbed a load of £££ from the businesses they closed down / will soon happen to all independent companys around the UK :( Witch id just tell them to do one and I'm not sale in to you as ive seen what you've done to other independent companys

Stagecoach have run the 92 tonight ( 8th February 2016 )
