Reading / learning a bit more into coach travel

Posted by grahame at 14:21, 30th March 2026

With the help of intelligent search engines, I have come up with the following who offer long distance road travel to the public on a schedule. Have I missed any significant players? Any listed that I should really not be there?

Scheduled coach services - Great Britain
National Express
Megabus
Flix[bus]
Scottish Citylink
Oxford Tube
Berrys Coaches

Scheduled coach services - Ireland
Bus Éireann
Expressway
Aircoach
JJ Kavanagh & Sons
Citylink / GoBus
John McGinley Coach Travel
Matthews Coach Hire

My own preference is rail for longer distances and buses for shorter journeys and connections - so virtually no experience of any of these.
