[2][3] Blazefield Travel was formed in August 1991, following the sale of AJS Group, owned by former East Yorkshire Motor Services managing director, Alan Stephenson.

The company was sold in a management buyout to former directors, Giles Fearnley and Stuart Wilde – a deal valued at £2.2 million.

[5] In April 1988, London Country North East was sold by the National Bus Company, the last of 72 subsidiaries to be privatised.

In 1986, Harrogate Independent Travel was set up by a number of West Yorkshire Road Car Company drivers, in a bid to challenge their former employer.

Harrogate & District further expanded in October 1996, following the transfer of bus operations in Ripon from Cowie Group.

In April 2001, Stagecoach sold their operations in Blackburn, Bolton and Clitheroe to the Blazefield Group, which rebranded them as Burnley & Pendle and Lancashire United.

[17] In early 2005, the Competition Commission cleared Blazefield's deal to sell what was left of London Sovereign to Arriva Shires & Essex.

The sale was completed in July 2021, following which the operation was rebranded Team Pennine, with a two-tone pink livery introduced.

The frontline fleet includes buses manufactured by Alexander Dennis (Enviro200, Enviro200 MMC and Enviro400 MMC), Mellor (Strata), Mercedes-Benz (eCitaro), Optare (Solo SR, Tempo and Versa), Plaxton (President), Volvo (7900e) and Wrightbus (Eclipse Gemini, Eclipse Urban).
