Shuttle community buses serve towns and villages in the Tendring District area. This is a joint service provided by Harwich Connexions and Tendring Community Transport working in partnership.

​​

Starting from our transport hubs at Harwich and Clacton shuttle buses operate between 9.00am and 5.00pm Monday to Saturday. This service is ideal for those who are isolated from everyday transport for shopping, medical appointments, social outings, visiting friends, education, work, sport and any other activity that helps connect people with community opportunities. Our drivers are trained to assist any wheelchair passenger and the buses have tail lifts.
