Long-Distance Buses (Coaches)
Long distance buses are known as "coaches" in the UK. The main
operator is National Express, which covers England and Wales and
parts of Scotland.
You should buy a ticket for your journey before travelling. If
you have a credit or debit card you can buy tickets by telephone on
08717 818181. Use this number for timetable enquiries or to find
out where the nearest ticket agent is.
If you have a credit or debit card you can buy tickets over the
internet. To do this, or to check times and fares, visit http://www.nationalexpress.com/
If you have not bought a ticket in advance you MAY be able to
travel by paying the driver of the coach, but this will only be
possible if there are empty seats on the coach and it may cost you
more.
It is also possible to make international journeys by coach on
the Eurolines network. For information, or to buy tickets with a
credit or debit card, visit http://www.eurolines.com/
