National Express Partners with BlaBlaCar Bus

National Express Partners with BlaBlaCar Bus to Offer European Coach Travel Savvy sports fans and holidaymakers now have a convenient and budget-friendly travel option to Paris, just in time for the Olympics.  Thanks to a new partnership between National Express and European coach operator BlaBlaCar Bus, customers can make the journey to Paris from hundreds of UK destinations on the National Express network via London Victoria Coach Station. 

With three services a day to the Continent from London, travellers can expect a safe and comfortable experience on board, with leather reclining seats, plenty of legroom, USB power sockets and a generous luggage allowance of up to 20kg. Tickets start at GBP34 one way and can be purchased from www.nationalexpress.com. 
Delivering a greener and sustainable Games is at the heart of the Paris Olympics, and with coach and Eurotunnel transportation emitting significantly less carbon dioxide per passenger kilometre than flying, customers can make a sustainable travel choice and lower their carbon footprint. John Boughton, Commercial Director at National Express, said: “We’re pleased to be partnering with BlaBlaCar Bus to reinstate our presence in Europe following the pandemic, connecting our UK-wide network with Paris and other key destinations on the BlaBlaCar network, including Brussels and Amsterdam. 

“We want to help people make those all-important, money-saving, greener choices when it comes to travelling. This partnership not only offers a convenient and seamless booking experience for our customers, they can also look forward to a comfortable, affordable and more reliable journey compared to the cost of flying or enduring long queues at the airport.”  Aurelien Gandois, Vice President of BlaBlaCar Bus, added: “Our mission at BlaBlaCar has always been to make travel more accessible, convenient, and environmentally friendly.

Partnering with National Express allows us to offer more options for travellers to reach Paris sustainably and comfortably.

We are excited to bring together our networks to provide an enhanced travel experience for passengers.”
