Travel de Courcey

Travel de Courcey was a bus and coach operator based near Coventry in the West Midlands region of England. It operated local bus services in the Coventry and Warwickshire area and National Express contracts.

History
Mike de Courcey Travel was founded in 1972 by Mike de Courcey. It expanded into bus service operations after the Transport Act 1985 deregulated the UK bus industry.

In June 2011, Mike de Courcey Travel took over the Birmingham depot of Veolia Transport and several National Express contracts from them. In April 2017 Mike de Courcey Travel was awarded the Queen's Award for Enterprise in the sustainable development category.

On 24 August 2020, the operator fell into administration, citing a steep decline of passenger numbers in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Stagecoach took over the running of the routes 60 and 703 and Arriva took over the running of route X6 between Leicester and Coventry.
