The company would expand in the late 1960s to provide private hire minibus services following Bernard's son Paul joining the business.

[1] Acklams Coaches predominantly offer private hire and escorted coach tours, although from 1992 to 2022, the company operated bus services on contract from East Riding of Yorkshire Council, mostly in the Beverley area as well as serving coastal East Riding communities.

[12] The company also operates a small fleet of new and second-hand single and double-deck buses, with buses purchased new including Alexander Dennis Enviro400s,[12] an Alexander Dennis Enviro200 MMC for Bridlington bus services,[15] and an Optare Solo SR.[16] Among Acklams' Elite Travel fleet is a Neoplan Starliner team coach, which was hired by the Vote Leave campaign in the run-up to the 2016 United Kingdom European Union membership referendum.

[17] Nicknamed the 'Brexit bus' during the campaign, the coach was wrapped red and featured statements attributed to former Mayor of London Boris Johnson claiming the UK would "take back control" of £350 million per week that was being sent to the European Union, proposing to invest this money into the National Health Service; the claim was ruled to be false, but an attempted private prosecution in 2019 to convict Johnson for misconduct was thrown out of court.

[18] Following the referendum campaign, Acklams Coaches hired out the Neoplan coach to a number of different customers, including environmental organisation Greenpeace, who recreated the Vote Leave branding for a campaign outside the Palace of Westminster three weeks after the referendum, Will Young's touring crew for the 2016 Glastonbury Festival, the Pakistan national cricket team and challenger bank Monese.
