MacPhails Coaches
MacPhails Coaches originated in the early 1920s when David MacPhail operated his fleet from Newarthill on both scheduled service work and local transfers. Following a compulsory buy out from the the local authority in the 1930s David retired from the industry until assisting his son Daniel Scott MacPhail (better known as Scott) in 1948 to create the business which has continued on to this day.

Built on a strong foundation, based on honesty, reliability, high quality and attention to customer needs, these same principles have assisted MacPhails to maintain our place as a credible operator through the generations.
Services
For many teachers, organising a school trip is often a very demanding task, but at MacPhails we can help with the workload. As you will know the department for education has now provided guidelines for teachers organising school trips. These health and safety measures place responsibility on teachers to check every aspect of your pupils journey, including the competence of your chosen travel partner.
Through many years experience, over countless school trips, MacPhails Coaches and schools have identified areas where teachers and escorts can maintain discipline, making the coach journey safe and enjoyable for everyone. Choosing your coach provider can be a difficult process, and is never simply a decision on price alone.
MacPhails Coaches has responded to the direct needs of our existing corporate and business coach hire clients, offering organisations a coach travel management solution that offers compliance to duty of care and delivery of corporate and social responsibility targets as standard.

MacPhails have unfaillingly given the College reliable service over the years. Their drivers are courteous and helpful as well as being highly competent.

I recently, as part of a group was on one of your coaches on hire to Caledonian Travel . the coach was not in the best of condition , my footrest was found in the luggage rack , the trim above us was ripped and hanging down , the steward's s station was still covered in spilt tea and coffee from the last hire and going over Shap and Beattock it sounded as if we were on a Tiger Tank. all in all not the best of times .
