About us
National Express is the UK’s largest scheduled coach operator. We are headquartered in Birmingham, with locations across the country. Our national network serves hundreds of UK towns and cities. We run round-the-clock services to the UK's major airports and our festival and events services take customers to sporting and music events as well as festivals. Coaches are essential to a strong and well-connected national transport network and we work hard to grow the coach market to enhance the UK’s transport offer. Safety is our number one priority. Our fleet has market-leading safety features and we work across our entire business to drive safety improvements. In 2021, we received a five star audit rating from The British Safety Council for the eigth consecutive year. Coach travel is one of the most environmentally friendly forms of transport. We have continually invested in the cleanest and most efficient vehicles available to us. Every coach we have purchased since 2014 has been Euro VI – the highest emissions standard available. Emissions per coach passenger are much lower than those travelling by car and coaches reduce congestion by using road space more efficiently. We are accredited by the National Living Wage Foundation for pledging to pay the voluntary, higher real Living Wage across all of our UK businesses. We are part of the wider Mobico Group which employs 41,000 people worldwide, with bus, coach and rail services in the UK, Continental Europe, North Africa, North America and the Middle East.

National Express LTD reposted this
Festivals and events are a strategic revenue stream for National Express - and this week has been booming in more ways than one. We operated more than 30k passengers journeys across Boomtown Festival last weekend and the Taylor Swift concerts at Wembley Stadium where we are exclusive coach partners. Passengers tell us they value the comfort and convenience of our services. For festivals in particular, the ability to carry luggage sets us apart and, for event travel, customers are taken to the heart of the venue with ease. None of this would be possible without our fabulous NX team, volunteers and our valued partner operators. They go above and beyond and as a result, more customers are travelling with us each year. Thank you for all your efforts this week #teamNX And if you are one of the lucky ones seeing Taylor Swift over the next few days, I hope you have a great time!

Reflecting on their own apprenticeship, our Data Protection Officer Chloe Smith has this advice for others: “Take it all under your wing – the good and the bad. Take in all the experiences that come your way as it will all be over far quicker than you expect, and you will want to have the support of your manager, senior leader and coach in Damar Training. Never be afraid to ask for help and ensure your employer works closely with Damar, as mine did. It was one of the reasons I succeeded.”
This is Chloe Smith, an Information Governance Officer at National Express LTD. Chloe embraced the challenge of information governance with dedication and a positive attitude, starting her journey as an apprentice with Damar. Chloe was one of the first people to complete the data protection and information governance apprenticeship. Her training helps her to support customers, as well as develop and deliver data privacy processes – a goal she had since first starting the apprenticeship.

Our Senior Coach Station Manager Andrew Leonard went along to the opening of the brand-new Halifax Bus Station last week 🎉 The new and improved facilities are excellent and will certainly benefit National Express customers using the new station to connect to our 564 coach service to London (via Sheffield and Milton Keynes) and our 465 to London (via Leeds and Nottingham)
We’re working together to build a stronger, better connected region, where bus travel is everyone’s first choice. 🚌 Today, Tracy Brabin, Mayor of West Yorkshire and Calderdale Council opened the new Halifax Bus Station. Alongside improved facilities, safety measures and better access, the new station will enable passengers to switch between bus services more easily. It also has solar panels, cycle parking, a new “green roof” covered in bee-friendly plants and more green space for people to enjoy.

As the official coach travel partner of GLASTONBURY FESTIVAL EVENTS LIMITED, it’s our largest single operation - it’s also our biggest year yet! 🏙 We’ve added 34 more departures to meet demand, taking the total number of locations served to 109 🚌 We’ll be carrying 20% more passengers this year (vs 2023) ⚡ We’re also running a fleet of zero emission double decker electric buses on a shuttle service between Bristol and Worthy Farm, thanks to festival charging infrastructure support from Zenobē and Scania UK. With over 25 years’ experience operating festival services, demand for affordable, environmentally friendly and reliable public transport has never been greater from festival and event organisers.
