[2] A non-compete clause in the contract of sale prevented Roger Durbin from operating bus services in the Bristol area for three years.

During 2003 the goodwill and custom as well as the majority of the fleet of Eastville Coaches were bought from the proprietor Mr Phillips.

The company continued to expand, picking up contracts with the University of the West of England (UWE) for student transport, Axa and Orange for staff shuttles, Wessex Trains rail replacement and further tenders from Bristol City and South Gloucestershire Councils.

[4][5] The sale included 68 buses and was completed in stages until 31 March 2008, this being dictated by Bristol City and South Gloucestershire Councils needing to approve the transfer of the routes and because the licence was held in the name of the owners, not the company, so the services had to change operator licences.

Most of the low floor vehicles from the South Gloucestershire fleet were painted white with dark blue skirts and ended up with staying in Bristol or transferring to Rotala group company Central Connect in Birmingham.

Since then further corporate staff services have been up in and around Bristol as well as work on behalf of UWE, including shuttle bus and P&R for open days.

In September 2008 South Gloucestershire began operating their first full-time National Express contract on route 200 between Bristol and Gatwick Airport.

From January 2010 South Gloucestershire began to operate the 040 on a full-time basis after taking over the route from First Somerset & Avon, who could trace back their history to the start of the service.

The majority of journeys on the route were worked by the Levantes purchased for the 200, as well as three further examples acquired from National Express.

During August 2011 the operations of Hookways of Meeth collapsed and South Gloucestershire provided emergency cover on routes 339 from Westward Ho!

In January 2013 operation of route 444 was transferred to Bennetts Coaches with South Gloucestershire gaining additional journeys on service 403 which were added to the timetable that month.

I the same month, South Gloucestershire gained a further National Express contract for route 330 between Penzance and Nottingham after the previous operator, Premiere Travel, went into administration.

From November service 302 between Bristol and Northampton has also been taken over from Arriva MK Metro, coincidentally this had previously been operated by FirstGroup.

South Gloucestershire also operate route 101 for Friends Life employees from Stoke Gifford, to Lewin's Mead via the A4174 and M32.

South Gloucestershire was the official provider of transport for the Bristol International Balloon Fiesta and operated two routes each year.

Buses ran from Bristol Temple Meads railway station to the Fiesta Site every 10 minutes from around 09:00 until 23:00 across four days.
