The company expanded into other geographical areas including Milton Keynes and parts of Buckinghamshire, before being taken over by Stagecoach Holdings in 1996. The new owners added Go West Travel to the Cambus operations, trading as Norfolk Green, in recent times the company has ceased operating in the King’s Lynn area, this taking place in 2018.
