National Express Expands Into Scotland
National Express is increasing its presence in Scotland thanks to a new partnership with Scottish Citylink. In a boost for convenient and affordable cross-border public transport links, the UK's leading scheduled coach operator is expanding its network with frequent daily services connecting hundreds of destinations in England and Wales with popular Scottish cities, including Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Dundee, Glasgow, Inverness and Stirling. It means that from 25 February 2025, customers can enjoy a seamless booking experience for travel between the two countries. Whether it's a city break, family holiday or countryside escape, National Express and Scottish Citylink are committed to delivering reliable, affordable and sustainable travel compared to other modes of transport. Tickets are available to book via the National Express website, where customers can access tickets for selected Scottish Citylink routes at competitive prices.
Both National Express and Scottish Citylink are renowned for their strong focus on customer experience, offering modern coaches, spacious seating, and excellent on-board facilities. This partnership reinforces the shared vision of making long-distance coach travel accessible and enjoyable for everyone. John Boughton, Commercial Director at National Express, said:
