    National Express Coaches Discussion

    Validity of vouchers given for delays and other 'Sorry you had a problem here's a voucher now go away' customer relations responses was changed from 6 to 12 months last year. Other codes for promotional offers will have specific validity dates and conditions.

    National Express coach changes April 2024

    National Express is revising a number of services from April 12, with an interesting couple of additions to non-London 'cross country' options. Gloucester hasn't had a service to Birmingham or Bristol since before the pandemic, I don't think, only London services. The 161 is curious, as NX did...

    Oddly, they have in fact been reintroduced in recent months on a number of routes including 210/400 between Wolverhampton-Dudley-Birmingham, the 025 Worthing-Brighton, various services Birmingham-Birmingham Airport- Coventry, A1/A2 Golders Green-Finchley Road-London Victoria, and 707 locally...

    According to South Yorkshire PTE's bus service updates page at https://www.travelsouthyorkshire.com/en-gb/newsupdates/service-changes#bus the X10 will not now be introduced. Changes previously planned to services 271 and 272 from 31 March are also postponed.

    National Express Coaches Discussion

    Posts 892-896 were specifically discussing driver duties involving an overnight stay away from base - that kind of 'overnighter'. To add to current ones, I believe Aston-based drivers on the 409 overnight in Aberystwyth?

    Local travel reintroduced on NX coaches

    Services remain as per existing timetables on the timetables page, it's just that journeys which were previously not bookable and would not have given any results in the journey planner will now show up in a search for a relatively local trip on the relevant sections.

    Local travel reintroduced on NX coaches

    Previous threads have mulled over the restrictions, in recent years, on short-distance travel on National Express coach routes. Services had relevant sections de-registered as local bus routes and fares were not available. It enabled stops to be skipped if there were no bookings, particularly...

    December 2023 Timetable Change

    But if you go to it via the compiler's site at https://timetables.fabdigital.uk/nrt/dec2023/ that, I believe, is subsequently updated more regularly.

    National Express Coaches Discussion

    Was it ever promoted or advertised? Has anyone ever seen National Express advertise specific service reintroductions or improvements in local and regional media? For example when service 460 started serving Rugby a few months back, did anyone in the Rugby area see local publicity of any kind...

    No they have not. The ticket counter which has appeared there is an independent agency (We Know London), given a concession by the airport company and which sells car hire, sightseeing tours and, yes, coach tickets. But it can only do what an appointed NX agent can do, not everything an NX...

    New service 788 from 20 October, six times daily each way: Peterborough - Cambridge - Trumpington P&R - Hitchin - Luton Airport - Heathrow Central Bus Station - Heathrow T5. Be interesting to know if this ever gets advertised in any way.

    Correct, all vehicles should be accessible, even when hired at short notice for breakdown cover of other issues. However, there are size and weight limits on all vehicles as regards the wheelchair lift and wheelchair space which can be an issue with, how can I put this delicately, the...

    Withdrawal of service 184 mentioned in post 721 above, so yes it is being withdrawn. And yes, the assisted travel team is extremely busy but has a robust system for ensuring requests are dealt with fairly in time for the journey. By all means put in a request whenever you book, even if it is...

    Service 260 Stansted Airport to Canterbury (University of Kent) to be withdrawn, last day 30 September. This takes Chatham, Maidstone and Bexleyheath off the NX network. Service 184 Liverpool to Edinburgh last day 1 October. Many other minor timetable tweaks and slight reduction in some more...

    National Express - If the first leg wasn't caught, will the ticket still be valid?

    You are lucky to find a booking with a connection from T4 to Central Bus Station anyway as the availability of local journeys within the airport on NX has been reduced due to some services not having a 'local' fare. Passengers are generally advised if there isn't a direct coach to the terminal...
