Bus services in the UK are a complicated affair, run by several different companies in various parts of the nation. Planning a journey round the UK by Bus (or any other form of public transport) can end up being more complicated than planning the D-Day Landings, or the 2003 Iraq Invasion.

Some of the main companies involved include: ARRIVA, FIRST Bus, Go Ahead, Stagecoach, TrentBarton + EYMS. You can read about them and other bus operators HERE. You can also plan your journey through TRAVELINE.

National Express run City to City Coach Services - our equivalent of the famous GREYHOUND Coaches in the USA, I guess you could call them. Greyhound also do services in the UK too.
