Peebles and Galashiels town services

From Sunday, 11 May 2025, we will be saying goodbye to services 54, 74, 90, 91, and 93 as Scottish Borders Council (SBC) takes over these routes from Monday, 12 May. 

In Galashiels, SBC is introducing a new service 75, which combines services 54 and 74 to connect Galashiels Interchange, Borders General Hospital, and Netherdale. Our service 51 will be updated to include Melrose Gait, offering more frequent trips, later evening rides, and extra seats, while continuing to serve Galashiels, Melrose, and Edinburgh. 

Other details relating to service that will be operated by SBC from 13 may include:

Service 90: Eight daily journeys in Peebles town centre, simplified fares, 08:15 start, two afternoon trips, six times to Hamilton View. 

Service 91: Four daily journeys between Peebles and Biggar; no service to Peebles High School. Existing school transport for affected pupils. 

Service 93: Four daily journeys between Peebles and West Linton, later 17:45 departure from Peebles. 

We're working closely with SBC to ensure a smooth transition for you. Starting 12 May, you can buy tickets on SBC buses, and previous Borders Buses tickets, app and ob bus, will be accepted on services 75, 90, 91, and 93. 

We thank all our customers for travelling with us on service 54,74, 90, 01 and 93.
