megabus.com permet aux Britanniques de voyager pendant les fêtes

The company will operate services every single day during the whole festive period, helping people travel across the country to enjoy seasonal festivities when other modes of transport are not running.

Major improvement work on the UK rail network is planned from Sunday 23 - Monday 31 December and some train journeys will be unavailable. To ensure customers can travel throughout the festive season megabus.com is adding additional coach services between London and Swansea between 23 December - 1 January (excluding December 25 and 26).

The low-cost coach operator will provide more than 4372 seats on its services on Christmas Day, operating a record 10 470 miles and serving 28 locations across Scotland, England and Wales.

These include London, Milton Keynes, Coventry, Leicester, Loughborough, Birmingham, Nottingham, Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds, Wakefield, Newcastle, Edinburgh, Edinburgh Airport, Glasgow, Gatwick Airport, Swindon, Bristol, Newport, Cardiff, Swansea, Exeter, Plymouth, Bodmin/St. Austell, Newquay, Redruth and Falmouth.

megabus.com will also provide links to Heathrow Airport which will not be served by any rail links on Christmas Day.

Tous les autres jours de la période de Noël et du nouvel an, y compris le jour de l'an, megabus.com assurera un service quasi normal sur la plupart des lignes à travers le Royaume-Uni, avec seulement quelques légers changements dans les horaires.

Néanmoins, il est conseillé aux passagers de bien vérifier les horaires de leurs voyages, de légers changements pouvant intervenir sur certains trajets par rapport au reste de l'année.

On New Year’s Eve, megabus.com will again operate special services departing London after the New Year celebrations and will provide links to Reading, Swindon, Milton Keynes, Rugby, Leicester, Loughborough, Coventry, Birmingham, Nottingham, Norwich, Bristol, Newport, Cardiff, Swansea, Exeter, Plymouth, Wakefield, Leeds, Manchester, Liverpool, Middlesbrough, Sunderland and Newcastle.

megabus.com Managing Director Mark Venables said: "The festive period is a busy time of year for many people and we're glad to be able to help by providing important transport links every single day during Christmas and New Year, including times when no train services are running. This is especially important this year as many rail routes are closed for longer due to major improvement works.

“We hope our services will make it easier for people to visit family and friends and to enjoy the festivities.”

megabus.com, qui fait partie de la compagnie écossaise Stagecoach Group, est en activité depuis 2003.

Au Royaume-Uni, megabus.com propose désormais près de 80 destinations, notamment Londres, Manchester, Glasgow, Édimbourg et Cardiff.
