If you want this to be a more extensive national scheme it would need to work like Plus Bus does, which means a sensible price for the ticket (most Plus Buses are a £2-£4 extra price) and of-course a voluntary scheme that operators choose to join. The most sensible solution if National Express actually wanted this would be to approach Journey Solutions (who run the PlusBus scheme) & just ask them about adding coaches to the scheme. No extra work just treat the coach tickets like the rail ones, I'm sure the approach would be welcomed, the only issue would be how to deal with the myriad different forms a NatEx ticket can be presented in to avoid confusion & complication for the participating drivers.dwarfer1979noreply@blogger.com
