National Express Coaches England National Express is supporting England during this World Cup with two special coaches decorated with the St George's Cross. The newly named vehicles, Nation Expects, will be flying the flag between Birmingham, Bristol and London. More than twenty thousand people will travel on the coaches during the tournament and between them nearly thirty thousand miles will be clocked up. The £250,000 coaches are the same as those been used by the England football team and are made by Swedish coach manufacturer Scania, so Sven should feel right at home. The Birmingham based company has even found its very own Steven Gerrard! David Whittall, 22, from Bromford Bridge in Birmingham has worked with the company for just three days as a driver on the 420 London to Birmingham, before his look-a-like talents were discovered. The Aston Villa fan loves watching football but the company hopes his playing skills aren't as good as his look-a-like gift, as he is attracting lots of attention on the coach entertaining the passengers as the Liverpool ace. -ENDS- Notes to editors:
