National Express to offer thousands of services across the West Midlands over Christmas period
National Express are bringing loved ones together this Christmas with the UK’s biggest festive coach network and thousands of services running throughout the season, including Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day.
With no rail services on Christmas Day and planned rail disruption potentially hindering travel plans over the festive period, the National Express hope to offer alternative transport options to get people home this Christmas.
On Christmas Day the service is providing several coach journeys to and from Wolverhampton and Dudley, connecting friends and families between Birmingham, Coventry, Manchester and London, as well as Luton Airport and Heathrow Airport.
Ed Rickard, Network Director for National Express, said: “When reliability matters most our customers know that they can count on us to get them home safely this Christmas - and as the nation’s favourite coach operator we are offering the UK’s biggest festive transport network, with thousands of frequent, comfortable and affordable services throughout Christmas and New Year - including several journeys to and from Wolverhampton and Dudley on Christmas Day.
“Given the planned rail disruption over the festive period we’re expecting our coaches to be busy so we encourage customers to book early to get the best prices and guarantee a seat for travel.”
National Express has also extended its popular Kids Go Free offer until January 4, 2026, helping families save on festive travel - whether it be to visit the Christmas markets, watch a pantomime, or enjoying activities during the Twixmas period.
Ed added: “It’s worth remembering that we could not deliver the outstanding services that we do, day-in-day-out, without our highly respected partner operators, coach drivers and colleagues. While they are appreciated daily, they deserve special thanks at Christmas when working jolly hard to get everybody home for Christmas.”
