About National Express
National Express was founded in 1972 as a predecessor to the National Bus Company. Although the brand name was National Express, many services were run by local bus companies, and this is still the case today for some shorter term services. For many years, National Express faced little competition in the long distance market until Stagecoach launched Megabus, who became known for their £1 fares. The company headquarters can be found in Birmingham above the coach station.
