National Express coach does Oxford to London Bridgestone Eco-Rally - just 30g/km CO2

“A key part of current transport policy is focused on improving car efficiency. Whilst this is critical, it’s not the answer to reducing CO₂ from transport.  As demand for travel continues, massive improvements are needed just to stand still. Real reductions will only come from reducing travel or using lower carbon forms of transport.”

Some of the benefits of travelling by coach:

• Less time-wasting
  Spending time sitting in traffic is wasteful. National Express coaches have free wi-fi to make your journeys more productive and/or more entertaining.
• Less CO₂ and pollution
  As demand for travel continues, massive improvements are needed just to stand still. Real reductions will only come from reducing travel or using lower carbon forms of transport.
• Less risk of accidents
  Compared with travelling by car, you’re at least ten times safer on public transport.
• Less congestion
  Britain can’t keep building and widening roads to cut congestion. There isn’t room and our countryside needs protecting. A full coach removes a mile of traffic from the roads.
• Less exclusion
  Not everyone has a car. Not everyone wants new dual carriageways cutting through their community, separating their homes from nearby amenities.

For some journeys, you can’t beat the coach. Avoid all the stress of driving, finding somewhere to park and then pouring money into the meter. Instead you can relax, chat or knit – and then concentrate on having a good time when you get there, without worrying about driving back. Plus, catching the coach is a great way to travel to a meeting -  run through a presentation, catch up on emails or the next chapter of that unputdownable thriller. Why not give it a go!
