Welcome to Annandale Community Transport Services. We operate a community transport service in Annandale and Eskdale in South West Scotland.

Annandale Community Transport Services (formerly Annandale Transport Initiative) is a membership organisation serving the residents of Annandale and Eskdale. We provide accessible, affordable minibus hire for community groups and community car hire for individuals whose transport needs are not met by public transport. We can offer vehicles that are suitable for those travelling in wheelchairs. We also run 2 registered bus services, one to Peebles on the last Thursday of each month, and one to Carlisle on the first and third Thursday of each month. A programme of day trips is also provided - these are reasonably priced and most return by 6pm. You can book on to these through our ACTS Travel club (annual membership of £5) Volunteer drivers are available for those members who do not have their own trained driver. Annandale Community Transport Services can deliver nationally recognised minibus driver training. ACTS is a charity and a company limited by guarantee.
