We provide accessible minibus transport for community groups across the North East of England and the West Midlands.

We are able to provide travel for groups, organisations, and friends that wish to travel as a group of people to your chosen venues. Our fleet of fully accessible minibuses offer transport to local community groups and schools, as well as delivering local contracts such as Linkline. We also deliver MiDAS Training (Minibus Driver Awareness Training) to drivers from groups with their own minibuses and groups who choose to hire and drive ours.

🏆 Congratulations Laurie!

We are incredibly proud to share that our CEO, Laurie Robson, has been named Best Woman in Community Transport 2026 at the Women in Bus and Coach Awards.

This is fantastic recognition of Laurie’s leadership, commitment and contribution to community transport, and of her determination to ensure that accessible transport continues to make a genuine difference to people’s lives.

Community Transport is about much more than getting from A to B. It’s about independence, inclusion and connection – helping people access education, healthcare, employment, activities and their communities when conventional transport isn’t always an option.

Laurie’s award is also a reflection of the incredible work carried out every day by our whole team – our drivers, passenger assistants, volunteers, operational teams and everyone working behind the scenes.

A huge congratulations to Laurie on a thoroughly deserved achievement. 👏🏆

We’re extremely proud to have you leading Community Transport and excited about what comes next.
