National Express takes on Scottish cross-border services

Following the end of Megabus routes into England, National Express is filling the void in a new partnership with Scottish Citylink.

NatEx is expanding its network from 25 February with frequent daily services connecting hundreds of destinations in England and Wales with Scottish cities, including Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Dundee, Glasgow, Inverness and Stirling.

John Boughton, Commercial Director at National Express, said: “We’re pleased to be partnering with Scottish Citylink to boost our presence in Scotland, connecting hundreds of destinations on our UK-wide network with key cities across the border.

“We want to help people make those all-important money-saving choices when it comes to travelling. This partnership not only offers a convenient and seamless booking experience for our customers, they can also enjoy the benefits of affordable and more reliable journeys compared to rail or air travel.”

Scottish Citylink Managing Director Simone Walsh, said: “This is great news for our customers who now have another booking option when planning their journeys and buying tickets. Partnering with National Express delivers a more seamless approach, and even more people can benefit from our affordable, high-quality services.”
