Now before you reel back in shock, push the image of crowds of people squashed into a rickety old bus sweltering in the European heat out of your head, because Europe coach travel has evolved.

It’s comfortable too. Eurolines use massive touring coaches throughout their Europe Coach Travel fleet with ample leg room and air conditioning as standard and with regular breaks and WC facilities on-board; you can sit back and relax while you’re taxied into the city centre of your chosen destination.

Forget connections, waiting around in airport lounges and the stress of travel associated with the more popular modes of European travel. Simply turn up jump on the coach and take in the sights and culture as you are taken direct to your chosen destination.

Remember the Dunkirk spirit, we Brits will get home however we can.
