WHITES CREEK, Tenn. — NiteTrain Coach has restored its original brand name and named industry veterans Tim Conner as CEO and Jonathan Thornton as president following new ownership by SCF CoachCo LLC.
The company, which previously operated as Encore Luxury Coach, announced the leadership changes July 1. Conner and Thornton previously led NiteTrain’s growth into one of North America’s largest entertainer coach operators, overseeing a fleet of more than 125 luxury coaches serving touring artists, production crews and entertainment professionals.
“For four decades, NiteTrain has been grounded in reliability, organization and accountability — values that are essential for clients who move quickly and need a partner that understands their lifestyle,” Conner said. “We are committed to delivering premier, on-demand support before, during and after every trip, and I am thrilled to return to NiteTrain to drive our vision forward.”
According to the company, Conner and Thornton bring a combined 35 years of experience in the luxury transportation industry.
NiteTrain said the return to its original brand reflects a renewed focus on customer service, operational excellence and long-standing relationships within the entertainment industry.
SCF CoachCo LLC, a subsidiary of Stonebriar Finance Holdings, acquired NiteTrain earlier this year and is the company’s sole owner.
Founded in 1986 and headquartered in Whites Creek, Tennessee, NiteTrain operates from facilities in Nashville and Phoenix. The company provides coach leasing, sales and maintenance services throughout North America.
