National Express offers half-price tickets over Christmas

National Express is selling half-price day tickets - £2 instead of the usual £4 - for the holiday period between Christmas and New Year.

Between 26 November and 2 December 2021, anyone over 16 can buy a day saver bus ticket in the National Express Bus app and get 50 per cent off.

These half-price tickets are valid for unlimited travel on all National Express West Midlands and National Express Coventry buses on any day between 27 December 2021 and 3 January 2022.

Chris Gibbens, commercial director of National Express West Midlands, said: “If you 'd like a change from sitting in front of the TV all week, there are all sorts of things to do in the post-Christmas holiday period. You can go to the Christmas sales; take back that unusual present, or find the perfect New Year 's Eve outfit.

“Maybe you want to get out of the house to avoid the relatives. Or, if you 're still actually enjoying the company of your extended family, they can sign up in the app with a guest account, get these 50 per cent off tickets - and then you can take them with you into town.

“And we know that in that week, nobody is ever sure what day it is. So after you 've bought your half-price ticket, you just activate it whenever you want to travel. ”
