Welcome on board.

We’re the North East’s newest bus operator. Bringing a wealth of experience from other transport providers, we’ve set up Northstar to lead the way in bespoke, high-quality transport solutions.

Our vision to lead the way is underpinned by four key values:

• People – our customers, communities and our colleagues are at the heart of everything we do, so we put people first.
• Performance – we have ambitious goals to raise the bar and lead the way with high operational and safety standards in delivering bus and coach services.
• Partnership – we believe that building strong relationships with our stakeholders is pivotal to delivering sustainable public transport with a positive social impact.
• Proactive – to be continually successful, we must listen to our customers, adapt and make changes, and strive for perfection.

Northstar is wholly owned and managed by Sunderland-born Daniel Graham, who has worked in the industry for almost ten years. Having previously worked for the North East’s largest bus operator, Daniel amassed a vast amount of experience in all aspects of operations, commercial and finance, enabling him to be equipped with the skills and expertise he needed to set up his own business.

Managing Director for Northstar, Daniel Graham, said: “I’ve grown up using public transport to get around the North East, which is why I am passionate about delivering a high-quality transport operation myself.

“Northstar is a ‘people moving people’ company, and we want to keep the customer at the heart of everything we do.

“I’m looking forward to operating buses in our region’s fantastic towns and cities – I am proud to be giving back to the people and communities that we will serve.”
