National Express suspends entire schedule

Operators
2 April 2020

National Express has suspended its entire network of coaches during the coronavirus outbreak. 

National Express is in talks with Stagecoach over acquiring the bus firm

The company had initially set out to operate a limited schedule during the UK’s lockdown, which is intended to stop the spread of Covid-19, but this proved “unviable”.

All schedules will be suspended from midnight on 5 April.

“Passenger numbers continue to fall as the public rightly follow government advice to avoid non-essential travel,” said Chris Hardy, managing director of National Express UK Coach.

“The decision to temporarily suspend all services is the right one based on the current unprecedented circumstances and I hope our passengers understand this.
