Many thanks to our in-house teams and our network of partner operators and drivers who have stepped into the breach caused by rail disruption to ensure Britain keeps moving over the holiday season. Coaches play a crucial role in the country’s integrated public transport sector, a role recognised by the new government. This is in part because capacity can be added quickly and affordably. In fact, 450m journeys every year are by coach…which is 40% of those taken by train, a bigger proportion of the mix than most of us would imagine.

With much of the country’s rail services significantly disrupted during the festive season, we're stepping in to ensure everyone can get home to their loved ones. 🎅🎄 To meet increased demand, we're adding over 30,000 extra seats across our intercity and airport routes. Whether you're heading home for Christmas or making your way to a holiday getaway, we've got you covered - and you're guaranteed a seat! 🚍💺 In an exclusive interview with The Independent's Simon Calder, our CEO Alex Jensen discusses how we’re working with our partner operators to provide a dependable and affordable public transport service. https://lnkd.in/e-YwgBzD #ChristmasTravel #RailDisruption

Buses and coaches keep everyone moving when everything else grinds to a halt! Heroes of the transport world, I salute you. 👏👏👏
