We are a based in a little village south of Thirsk, North Yorkshire and we pride ourselves in going the extra mile to supply a friendly service and the human touch.

S Buxton Ltd is the legal trademark owner of all the Rail Riders logos.with permission and licence from the DfT» (Department for Transport - about) to use the BR▸ (British Rail(ways)) double arrow symbol and has granted a licence to Rail Riders Ltd to use the logo and branding.
