Families visiting their loved ones or heading off to festive events and attractions this Christmas can take advantage of a special offer from National Express, with children able to travel for free.
National Express is allowing up to three children aged 15 or under to travel free with a fare-paying adult on its coaches until Sunday 6 January 2025.
Aiming to keep fares affordable for adults, too, one-way journeys start from as low as £6.
Gloucestershire families can catch National Express services, including the 444 and 445 to London, from a host of stops in the county, including Gloucester, Cheltenham and Cirencester.
Services are running throughout the festive season, as well as on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day, with the 803 between Gloucester and London being one of the services operating on Christmas Day in Gloucestershire.
On board, passengers can expect leather reclining seats, booster seats for children, free wifi and USB power sockets, as well as plenty of luggage space for transporting those all-important gifts.
Customer experience director for National Express, Sarah Rosier, said: 'At this time of year we know it can be stressful and expensive for families. That’s why we're making it easier and more affordable to create special memories together this festive season.
'Whether it's visiting the Christmas markets, watching a pantomime, or a Twixmas trip to keep the kids entertained, our kids go free offer is helping parents save on travel costs so they can enjoy winter adventures with the whole family.'
Anyone wanting to take advantage of the offer should book online in advance via the National Express website or app, using promo code KIDSFREE when booking.
