National Express re-starts

The UK’s largest coach operator will restart services on its national network of intercity routes at a reduced frequency on Wednesday 1 July, with significant new measures in place to allow customers to travel with confidence.
 
The restart follows a three-month suspension of all National Express scheduled services in response to the lockdown and a limit on non-essential travel introduced by the Government to manage the Covid-19 pandemic.
 
The travel safety measures put in place by National Express include temperature screening of customers. Anyone with a high temperature reading (over 38°) will not be allowed on board and given a full refund.

In line with Government guidelines there will be a requirement for customers to provide and wear face coverings, preferably a face mask, when in coach stations and travelling on vehicles.
 
A new timetable will focus on major towns and cities, connecting over 180 locations across the UK and equivalent to around a quarter of the mileage of the pre-Covid-19 national intercity network. The network scope and frequency will be increased in response to demand.
