Transpora Group

[2] The company begun contracted work in September 2022 to cover for the services formerly ran by HCT Group in Bristol when it entered into administration.

[6] It was originally run as service 20 under Blackpool Transport but was withdrawn citing low passenger numbers and financial losses.

[10] In June 2023, Transpora Group announced they were running a new service connecting Newport, Wales and Bristol, England starting from 3 July 2023.

[18][19] It had started to run services in Bristol in 2022 as Transpora South West,[20] but these ceased in 2024 following a breakdown in the relationship between one of its former regional operations managers, Rhys Hand, and the firm's owner Phillip Higgs.

Transpora North West was founded in 2007 as Nuttall's Coaches Ltd., and operated under this name until 2019, when the company was renamed Coastliner Buses.
