Johnson’s Coach Travel

Johnson’s Coach Travel was founded in 1909 and incorporated as a limited company in 1932. It has always been a family owned and operated business and is based at purpose built facilities at Henley-in-Arden in Warwickshire. The company specialises in the provision of both British and Continental holidays together with a programme of day tours. In recent years the Company has diversified into bus operation and has been successful in winning a number of contracts mainly with Warwickshire County Council. As a bus operator Johnson’s Coaches has served Redditch for a number of years with a Thursdays only shoppers service from Henley in Arden and Stratford. This service was for a number of years regularly run using a double deck  bus which was filling in between school trips. In recent years the service is now more normally run using one of the Company’s many Bova coaches. On Tuesday 27th May 2003 Johnson’s took over the operation of the bus services 178/9 from Redditch to Birmingham via Wythall a route that Pete’s Travel had mainly operated since October 2001. The emergency Worcestershire County Council contract awarded to Johnson’s does not call for low floor bus though the Company has been using a mixture of low floor and non-low floor vehicles.
