Just as it did last April, National Express will fully suspend its national network of scheduled coach services with effect from 23:59 on Sunday 10th January 2021.
Chris Hardy, managing director of National Express UK Coach: “We have been providing an important service for essential travel needs. However, with tighter restrictions and passenger numbers falling, it is no longer appropriate to do this.”
National Express said that all journeys that commence before Monday 11th January, for example coaches leaving London Victoria on the evening of Sunday 10th, and heading for Scotland, will be completed to ensure any passengers making essential journeys are not stranded.
The company added that all customers whose travel has been cancelled will be contacted and offered a free amendment or full refund.
Chris Hardy added: “As the vaccination programme is rolled out and Government guidance changes, we will regularly review when we can restart services. We plan to be back on the road as soon as the time is right and have put a provisional restart date of Monday 1 March in place (subject to change).
“The whole team at National Express worked incredibly hard throughout 2020 and I want to thank them for their efforts as we pause our services. We will now make sure we are ready to get back behind the wheel as soon as the nation needs us again.”
