Coronavirus (COVID-19) information

Our customer service team are experiencing very high contact volumes and are working hard to respond to our customers as soon as they can. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your patience and understanding at this time.

If you are due to travel but your plans have changed, please visit our dedicated coronavirus FAQ page for answers to the most common customer queries, including information about the increased flexibility we are offering on ticket amendments and refunds.

If you have already contacted us about an amendment or refund you do not need to contact us again. Our customer service team is working extremely hard to process the high number of requests in order of date received. All refunds will be processed within 28 days.

Coachcards

If your Coachcard was valid on 1 March 2020, or if you purchased a Coachcard in March 2020, we have automatically added a 6 month extension to your expiry date.

For example, if your Coachcard was due to expire on 1 November 2020 your new expiry date will be 1 May 2021. Please enter your new extended date into the expiry date field when booking a journey.

No further action is required. Coachcards will not be reissued with revised dates, simply book and travel with your current card.

Lost Property

Our central lost property database helps us to track and relocate any belongings you may have lost or left behind.

As our lost property tracking system requires a lot of upkeep, in addition to the cost of reuniting your items, we charge customers a small fee when items are reclaimed.

If you have lost or left an item behind, contact our Lost Property Team by filling in our lost property form.

Multirides & Season tickets

If you’re an existing multiride or season ticket holder and you’ve been impacted by the temporary suspension of our services, please visit our coronavirus FAQ page for more information on extending the validity of your pass or to claim a pro-rata refund.

  • Season tickets - A National Express Season Ticket gives you a reserved seat on your daily commute. It's a great way to save some money when you make the same journey more than three or four times a week. Simply choose the two locations you travel between most, purchase a Season ticket, choose from 1 month to 1 year validity, and get unlimited travel in both directions.
  • Multiride tickets - A National Express Multiride Ticket offers 10 single journeys cheaper than buying them individually, between your two locations, and is valid for 3 months.

For more information on both multiride and season tickets, please visit our tickets page.
