Be an Easter Bunny and Hop on the Coach!

The Easter break is usually a time for train delays, traffic jams and road rage but not this year if you travel from around the UK by National Express.

The UK's favourite coach company is increasing the number of coaches on the roads over Easter in order to cope with the busy holiday period and customer's needs.

Passenger numbers will double on Maundy Thursday as people across the UK travel to visit their friends and family. But every person who has booked their journey with National Express is guaranteed a seat at an unbeatable low price so that the journey will be as enjoyable and stress-free as possible.

Not only that, National Express monitors the roads for potential traffic jams and problem hotspots via the 24 hour operations control centre. Therefore, routes with major congestion can be avoided as the coaches are redirected to a less busy road.

Louise Hackett, Head of Route Management for National Express said, "We want to make travelling around the UK at Easter a good and pleasant experience. The company has put a number of measures in place to ensure that travellers' needs, such as an A-B guarantee, a seat for the whole journey, service availability, frequency and best value fares, are catered for".

"The way in which the roads and coaches are monitored is invaluable", Louise added. "Throughout the year we save a lot of time by re-directed coaches to better less congested roads and this will certainly take place this Easter."

So be a happy Easter bunny and hop on the coach with National Express.
