Felix is a relatively small operator, which as well as operating bus routes also runs many coaches for holidays and tours, along with school work. The company is based in the village of Stanley near Ilkeston in Derby. The fleet consists of quite a few coaches, which are used for holiday and tour work. The main services that they operate are "The Black Cat" service and "the Ilkeston Flyer" service, both of which operate between Derby and Ilkeston. Both services are jointly operated with trent barton. "The Black Cat" route is well established and has run for many years, although under Felix 12 and the Trent 120 prior to the "Black Cat" name being introduced.

The livery for the buses is either Red with White around the top and bottom. The black cat buses carry Yellow Black cat names on the side and back and the FELIX name in white on the front. One Scania/Wright Solar carries the trent barton style Ilkeston Flyer livery. The coaches however carry a different livery of Red with Gold names.  .
