CUMBRIA CLASSIC COACHES is a small, friendly family business specialising in running classic half cab buses and coaches as well as 1930’s cars, based in Ravenstonedale Cumbria.

The buses are operated on routes in the Yorkshire Dales as well as private hires such as weddings, birthdays, anniversaries etc.

The vehicles are based at Bowber Head where other thriving family businesses are in operation. There is a small caravan and camping site and bed & breakfast is offered in the comfortable family home.

RAVEN GRAPHICS, specialising in computer cut vinyl graphics, including banners, vinyls for commercial vehicles and destination blinds, are also part of the family empire.

PENN LANE PUBLICATIONS produces limited edition transport histories and enthusiast titles, mostly relating to North-East Derbyshire although titles covering other areas and subjects are being planned.
