Archway Travel is a bus and coach operator based in Fleetwood, Lancashire, England. Their fleet of 25 vehicles range from 24- to 80-seater coaches and buses. The company's routes predominantly serve schools and colleges in Lancashire and public service routes.

As of 2023, the company's managing director is Sam Archer,[1] part of the family of owners.[2]

In August 2024, the company began a service contract with Lancashire County Council (LCC) to run routes 74 and 75, replacing a similar contract LCC had with Blackpool Transport since 2020. The same month, Archway hired nine new Alexander Dennis Enviro200 single-decker buses to assist with its continued venture into local service operation. They were given a "Fylde Villager" livery.[3]
