Papal visit an NX success

Monday, September 27, 2010

Over 900 National Express coaches attended the Pope's homily at Cofton Park, Birmingham, helping to bring 45,000 Pilgrims from destinations as far as Penzance and Edinburgh.

"Over 70 volunteers worked extremely hard to manage the arrival and departure of the coaches" said Bruce Amos, Events Manager. "I don't think anyone has seen so many coaches parked up in one place before. It was an awesome sight to see."

Andrew Cleaves, Managing Director coach commented, "As a newcomer to this business I have been hugely impressed by the dedication and teamwork shown during this operation."

This event has clearly helped put National Express coach onto the agenda of many influential people in national and local government. More importantly, we've also welcomed thousands of new customers onto our coaches.
