Private Hire...

Tates Travel is a family owned business with many years experience in the coach, bus and minibus industry. Our company operates coaches from Sheffield, Barnsley & Dewsbury in Yorkshire and is split into three divisions. Our vehicles are maintained in our 6000 sq ft workshops in Barnsley. They are vigorously maintained and safety inspected as approved by the Ministry of Transport.

Our fleet of 70 seater coaches are ideal for Schools as 2 classes can travel on 1 coach. The cost is generally far less than 2 standard coaches. These vehicles have all been converted to 70 seaters and have had a vigorous Ministry of Transport approved check prior to coming into service.  We started in 2001 with one 70 seated coach and such is the demand for them we now operate 5 within the group. 

They all have full 3 point car type seat belts and some are fitted with T.V. and video facilities.  We are one of only a very few operators who have this type of coach and early booking is essential. No other operator in the Barnsley / Wakefield / Dewsbury / Sheffield area have this type of vehicle, so demand for them is always high. Please see 'Coach Hire' for further details and photos of our fleet of vehicles.

Tates Travel also operate 'Stanley Gath' coaches, which are based in Dewsbury and operate a number of day excursions or private hire contracts, right across Yorkshire. You can access the 'Stanley Gath' coaches website by clicking here.
