Bus firm National Express is gearing up for a busy Bank Holiday with thousands of people booked to travel by coach over the long weekend.
Advance bookings with the company, which operates many services to and from Swindon show the August bank holiday is set to be the coach operator’s most popular weekend of the year.
To meet demand National Express will be adding over 8,000 extra seats across the network, with the majority on its most popular routes between London and Manchester, Bristol and the South Coast.
A third of all National Express services are to airports. For maximum convenience, all airport services drop off directly at the terminal, and the company says savvy holidaymakers don’t have far to carry their bags or worry about expensive parking fees.
John Boughton, Commercial Director at National Express, said: “As always, we’re here to help people get away this Bank Holiday, whether they’re exploring Britain or getting to the airport to go further afield.
"It’s great to see tens of thousands of savvy travellers choosing coach once again this weekend, proving that we remain the smart, affordable and reliable option. And with every coach taking up to fifty cars off the road, it’s good news all round.”
National Express says customers' top Bank Holiday destinations are London, the capital's airports, Brighton, Bristol, Bournemouth, Cardiff, Leeds, Manchester, Plymouth and Southampton.
Customers are promised a safe and comfortable experience on board, with leather reclining seats, free wi-fi, USB power sockets and a generous luggage allowance of up to 20kg.
