Getting around the UK by coach and by bus

There are several regional coach companies, but the largest British coach operator is National Express offering over 1,200 destinations nationwide. You can book trips on popular routes or buy discount coach cards to save up to 30 per cent on many fares on the National Express website http://www.nationalexpress.com.

Other well-known coach operators are Oxford Tube (http://www.oxfordtube.com/) running between London and Oxford and Scottish Citylink (http://www.citylink.co.uk/) running between London, North England and Scotland.

When you need to travel on regular routes between villages, towns and cities in the UK, you can use regional bus services. Information about UK public transport is available on the Traveline website http://www.traveline.org.uk/index.htm.
