This reconstituted company would expand into bus and coach services in and around North Yorkshire before an agreement was made for the FirstGroup to purchase Pullman in January 2024.

[5] In January 1930 Pearce left the company and Foxton became its sole owner, a position he retained until his death thirty years later.

[6] In 1938 Pullman opened a new depot in York's Navigation Road to complement its three existing sites, which were no longer large enough to hold the company's fleet.

The expansion proved short-lived, with the York Pullman name and 20 coaches sold to municipal operator Kingston upon Hull City Transport in February 1990.

[6] KHCT began to face both increased competition on its core network and financial difficulties in the 1990s, and in 1993 it was decided to privatise the company.

The York Pullman name was abandoned, and the office at Bootham Tower closed in October 2002, breaking the last link with the original company.

[12] K&J also reopened the former booking office in York's Exhibition Square and acquired the original company's telephone number.

[6] To coincide with the reintroduction of the name, the company introduced a sightseeing tour of York using open-top buses in addition to coach hire and excursion work.

[2][3] The sale was completed in February 2024, with the company retained as a subsidiary of the First North and West Yorkshire business unit, bringing over 130 buses and coaches into the FirstGroup fleet.

[24] In August 2016 Pullman returned to local bus work, taking over route 36,[25] which operates between York and Sutton upon Derwent/Pocklington six days a week.

[6] The revived company's fleet later developed includes several types of coach, low-floor buses for local routes, and an open-top AEC Routemaster.
