National Express has announced plans to increase direct coach services for customers travelling from Swindon to the South Coast and the West Midlands.
From Friday 12 the coach operator will introduce a new daily 161 service which adds Swindon to the popular cross country coach network.
New journey options will connect Swindon to Birmingham, Southampton and Bournemouth.
National Express says this latest investment adds more direct efficient services connecting cities, towns and coastal areas, providing customers with even more affordable, reliable and sustainable options for travel.
It follows a number of new routes introduced by National Express across its UK-wide network last year to meet a surge in customers turning to coach travel. The firm also announced the purchase of 130 new vehicles which will replace some of the existing fleet and add to its inventory.
Ed Rickard, Network Director for National Express UK and Ireland, said: “With continued investment in our coach network, including the introduction of this new, direct route connecting Swindon with the South Coast and Birmingham, we are making it even easier for savvy travellers to save their money with convenient, great value travel and a guaranteed seat.
“More and more people are choosing to travel with National Express as a reliable, affordable and sustainable way to get around, and we're responding by investing in new vehicles and services while delivering a brilliant customer experience for a relaxing, comfortable journey.”
National Express says customers can expect a safe and comfortable experience on board, with leather reclining seats, free wifi, USB power sockets and a generous luggage allowance of up to 20kg.
