NatEx prepares for most popular weekend yet of 2024

National Express is gearing up for what it expects to be its busiest weekend of the year.

Its advanced bookings show the August bank holiday is set to be the coach operator’s most popular weekend of the year with Friday being the busiest day for travel.

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.

“And with every coach taking up to 50 cars off the road, it’s good news all round” – John Boughton, Commercial Director at National Express

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 50 cars off the road, it’s good news all round.”
