School Services
Houston’s Coaches are proud to operate a number of contracted school transport services. We provide safe, reliable and punctual transport for pupils travelling to schools across the region.
Our school transport services are operated under contract to Dumfries & Galloway Council, ensuring students travel safely and comfortably each school day with our experienced, PVG-checked drivers and well-maintained vehicles. Where a ‘School Pass’ is stated, these are issued by the school to travel on the Direct School buses.
