Specialist Passenger Solutions commenced operating staff and community services in 2016 during the construction of
EDF Energy's
Hinkley Point C nuclear power station. The contract is scheduled to run until 2025 and at its peak will require 160 buses. It was a 50/50 joint venture between First Group's
Buses of Somerset and JJP Holdings South West's Southern National, owned by former
Crosville Motor Services proprietor Jonathan Jones-Pratt. Southern National's name is revived from that of
a former National Bus Company subsidiary. Its operation was not affected by the April 2018 cessation of Crosville. In October 2021 Buses of Somerset took 100% ownership. In 2023, the company was renamed Specialist Passenger Solutions, reflecting its aim to work outside of Somerset, such as transporting staff for the construction of the
Sizewell C nuclear power station in Suffolk. ==Accidents and incidents==
