Johnsons Coach & Bus Travel is a bus and coach operator based in the Warwickshire town of Henley-in-Arden.
History[]
In 1909, Jack and Blanch Johnson purchased a carrier business with one carriage and two horses in Henley-in-Arden. In 1922, the first motorised bus was purchased. In the late 1970s, it began to operate coach tours, expanding with the purchase of the Fletchers Coaches business in 1989 and Arnold Shaw Coaches in 1993.[1]
In 2000, it diversified into bus service operations with services operated under contract to Warwickshire County Council. In January 2015, Whittles of Kidderminster was purchased from East Yorkshire Motor Services with nine coaches.[1][2][3][4]
