Originally set up as a joint venture with JJP Holdings South West, it is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of FirstGroup's Specialist Passenger Solutions.

Specialist Passenger Solutions commenced operating staff and community services in 2016 during the construction of EDF Energy's Hinkley Point C nuclear power station.

[1][2][3][4] It was a 50/50 joint venture between First Group's Buses of Somerset and JJP Holdings South West's Southern National, owned by former Crosville Motor Services proprietor Jonathan Jones-Pratt.

[10] In 2023, the company was renamed Specialist Passenger Solutions, reflecting its aim to work outside of Somerset, such as transporting staff for the construction of the Sizewell C nuclear power station in Suffolk.

[11][12] A Wright StreetDeck double-deck bus crashed on the A39 road near Bridgwater on the morning of 17 January 2023 while carrying passengers to Hinkley Point.
