National Express says it is adding extra capacity on its services between Southampton and London to meet increased demand for summer travel, providing 10,000 extra seats on its 032 between Southampton, London Heathrow Airport and London Victoria over the summer period. The operator reports a 39% increase in passengers since its new timetable launched on 4 July, and currently operates 14 services a day on the corridor, with the fastest journey between Southampton and Heathrow reaching the airport in 1 hour 35 minutes.
Commercial Director for Airports at National Express Helen Smyth said: “As the nation’s number one scheduled coach operator, we have the flexibility to add extra capacity on our busiest intercity and airport routes to meet demand. We’re making it even easier for savvy holidaymakers to enjoy the best of summer, whether they’re exploring the UK’s top destinations or jetting off abroad, with our brilliant coach drivers taking them right to the terminal door.
“Our services are great value, you’re guaranteed a comfortable seat, and most importantly, reliable journeys that get you where you need to be. With demand high and tickets selling fast, we’re encouraging customers to book early to avoid disappointment.”
In addition to increased services, National Express is also promoting its summer Kids Go Free offer, which runs until the end of September.
