Kipping on the coach could get a whole lot more comfortable with the launch of luxury travel suites by National Express.
The UK’s largest coach operator will be trialling their new NXSleep suites this summer to allow travellers to really stretch out and fully rest on route to their destination.
NXSleep offers customers the option to upgrade from a regular seat for a relaxing and quiet hideaway on board the coach, complete with a king size bed, soundproof walls, complimentary snacks and soft drinks, and the latest in technology to enjoy music, film and TV or play games whilst travelling.
The new option will utilise part of the existing luggage hold and will initially be rolled out on the 591 long distance service between Edinburgh and London in May. Customer feedback and demand will then be used to decide what other routes to add, and make any necessary changes to the suites.
Chris Hardy, Managing Director at National Express, said: “This is a very exciting development for us.
“34 per cent of our customers travel for over three hours at a time, with many of them opting to travel in the evening and late at night. We want them to be able to relax and unwind during their travel and believe the NXSleep suite is the perfect solution to offer the next level in comfort.
“We will be closely monitoring the outcome of the trial with a view to introducing the NXSleep suites to more services as early as the Autumn.”
