As far as I know the National Express A7 is dropped from May 19. A8 will no longer serve Kings Cross but will serve Tottenham Hale to Liverpool Street as at present, then serve Southwark, Waterloo and Victoria Coach Station, and still to the same frequency. That will likely mean instead of A7...

If only there were someone in the vicinity with a bus or two they could use on a shuttle service from the nearest station......

National Express is expected to cancel all services to/from West and South Wales and most services from Bristol from late tonight until around noon tomorrow due to Red weather warning of potentially dangerous wind speeds. Further details to be announced on website shortly and a mass email to...

As well as on dupes and event services, non-livery coaches can turn up as breakdown cover or because an operator has too many NX vehicles off-road for other reasons such as maintenance and accidents. As long as it is accessible in line with regulations.

The Megabus website has started selling tickets for NX services on certain key routes to/from London and Heathrow Airport where it is pulling out from 4 December. Pax appear to be redirected to a new portal powered by Distribusion. Wonder if this could this be a step towards the Megabus name...

UK00001279853 and UK00001281998 on Intellectual Property Office website https://trademarks.ipo.gov.uk/ipo-tmowner would suggest that they do, but I am no expert in interpreting such information.

I have a vague memory, probably 2O-plus years ago, of a summer weekend circular bus serving parts of Cannock Chase not served by regular services - such as the visitor centre - and Shugborough Hall, possibly co-founded by local councils and the National Trust. This would be the only bus link I...

On the Contact Us page you need to click the 'I did not find what I was looking for' option to reveal email or phone details. But don't bother anyway because if you have signed up to NX Rewards (and you will have done, it is impossible to join without giving bank details separately from your...

You would be in breach of the Conditions of Carriage if you did so without paying the difference in fare. A driver could refuse to retrieve luggage so you might get off at Heathrow but your luggage would be going on to Victoria.

If you're logged in to NXAgents they're under 'Guide Pages' which should be on the right hand side on the home page.

Transport for London's 2-minute bay door closure rule at Victoria Coach Station does not need to be specially conveyed to NX customers because NX Conditions of Carriage already state that passengers should be at their boarding point 10 minutes before the time on their ticket. Regarding people...

Having dropped Stratford-upon-Avon from the network at the end of April 2023 (when there were two daily journeys on service 460) it's back from 16 September with one return journey daily numbered 408 at 0620 from Stratford via Coventry and Heathrow to London and 1930 return. Wonder if it will...

It is a Reach PLC website which will contain vast quantities of celebrity-related clickbait of no relevance whatsoever to Coventry.

250 Ipswich - Colchester -Stansted Airport - Heathrow, and 482 Ipswich - Colchester - Stansted Airport - London both withdrawn from 2 September. Replacement is 717 Ipswich - Colchester - Stansted Airport where passengers will have to change for anywhere beyond. Marks Tey will be served but not...
