National Express has announced it has renewed its partnership as Official Coach Supplier to Wembley Stadium.
The three-year deal offers the more than three million attendees to England’s national football stadium direct travel to sport, music and entertainment events.
The scheduled coach operator provides connections from all over the UK, including Midlands, South Coast, North and West of England.
“Wembley Express” services take fans into the official coach park, minutes from the stadium entrance, and will not depart until after the event is over, including any extra time and penalties.
Events lined up for Wembley Stadium this year include the FA Cup Final, Carabao Cup Final, England matches, as well as performances from the likes of Bon Jovi, Bruno Mars and The Weeknd.
John Boughton, Commercial Director for National Express, says: “As the UK’s leading coach operator with the largest scheduled coach network, we have an excellent track record of providing reliable, comfortable and convenient coach travel direct to festivals and events across the country and this renewed partnership puts fans first.
“Wembley Stadium hosts some of the biggest events in the country and fans should be able to enjoy every last minute of the match or gig, instead of stressing about traffic and the long drive back, or even missing the last train home.
“Since joining forces with Wembley in 2007 we’ve taken hundreds of thousands of excited football fans and gig-goers directly to the stadium door and got them home safely, so we’re really excited to provide even more fans with stress-free and sustainable travel options for those momentous occasions.”
Mark Lynch, Stadium Director for Wembley Stadium, adds: “National Express has long been a trusted and valued partner, playing a vital role in supporting sustainable and accessible travel for the millions of fans who visit Wembley each year.
“This renewal reflects our shared commitment to delivering a world-class experience for visitors, while promoting greener transport options to and from the UK’s national stadium. We look forward to continuing our successful collaboration and building on the strong foundations of our partnership in the years ahead.”
