National Express West Midlands bus service changes from Sunday 24 July 2022

National Express West Midlands is making changes to bus timetables across Birmingham and the Black Country from Sunday 24 July to match how people travel during the school summer holidays.

The bus company is reminding passengers to check the website before they travel.

Chris Gibbens, Commercial Director at National Express West Midlands, said: “During the summer holidays, we will be introducing temporary timetables across Birmingham and the Black Country to match the change in traffic patterns and improve service reliability for our customers. We’d like to remind passengers to check the latest timetables before they travel.”

“While the schedules are changing, our prices remain the same. The cost of living has seen prices for all sorts of things increase over the past few months. However, our tickets have stood the test of time, with a National Express day saver only costing £4 – the same as it did in 2014.”

“We’d like to encourage people to give the bus a go, to help save both money and the planet. Travelling by bus is a much cleaner, greener and cheaper mode of transport – and we have a range of low-cost tickets to suit all budgets.”

National Express West Midlands customers don’t need to worry about finding the best fare. Customers can tap their contactless bank card and never pay more than £4 to travel all day anywhere within the West Midlands.
