Category:Harris Coaches (Essex bus company)

English: Harris Coaches or simply Harris, was a coach operator based in Grays, Essex. Frank Harris (Coaches) Ltd was incorporated in 1959, although the company was apparently founded as far back as 1923 by Frank Harris, with a grandson of the same name also later owning the business. Their green liveried coaches operated as far as continental Europe on tours. On bus deregulation in 1986 the Harris Bus Company Ltd was established, to operate local bus services, gaining contracts in Essex (in a simple blue & white livery), and from 1997, in London (having refreshed the livery to a modern green & blue scheme). The bus operation folded in 2000. The remaining coach hire & tour business was sold to Tellings Golden Miller in 2004, with 3 coaches passing to their Dartford depot.
