About Houston’s Coaches
In 1975, Houston’s Mini Coaches started as a small family-run business with just a few buses for private hire and a handful of school and local council contracts. Today, we are a third-generation family business with depots in Lockerbie, Dumfries and Biggar over 100 employees, and a fleet of around 60 vehicles, providing first-class service across the local area.
Our Fleet
We offer a range of coaches to suit different needs: 8, 16, 19, 33, 48, and 53 seater vehicles. Whether it’s for weddings, airport transfers, school hires, or day tours, we have the right coach for you.


Services & Day Trips
Our buses operate both local council routes and longer day trips across the UK. Locally, we cover Dumfries and Galloway, from Gretna and Moffat to Castle Douglas and Stranraer, offering affordable single and return tickets as well as weekly Hopper tickets on selected services.
Since 2008, we’ve also been providing day trips to destinations across the UK, from York to Pitlochry. Each year, we aim to offer a varied selection of trips for all ages and interests, giving customers the opportunity to explore the UK in a relaxed, trouble-free environment.
