NX coaches - Who Does What

[TT90]

Is it true NX will be taking over De Courcey's coach routes in-house, and based from Walsall next year ?

[Ally]

Updated the Bristol route and operators list to be correct as of today. Travellers Choice will take the 333 north as far as Birmingham today where Parks will continue it on, and then they will fully operate the service.

337           Paignton/Rugby                                              Edwards (Bristol)
339           Westward Ho!/Grimsby                                  Edwards (Bristol)

890           Cork & Swansea/London                                Kavanagh (Eurolines)

Dupes are usually operated by either Bennetts, but sometimes by other operators.

Eurolines is nothing to do with NX anymore, they left.

I has been replaced by Ouibus, a joint venture been NX (UK), SNCF & NX owned ALSA

I thought that was only the Non-Irish European stuff, and that the few routes like the 890 are still Eurolines?
Our system still tells us that a Eurolines booking sticker should be placed on the ticket when we sell them, and the Eurolines website still sells the tickets, or is this now just on behalf of NX?
I know we definitely tell people they have to go online to Ouibus for stuff like Paris, which I helped somebody with last week, but we can sell on the desk for Cork etc.

As I understood it, Eurolines still operate various routes in to the UK (London) & UK to Eire, but NX are no longer part of the Eurolines consortium / co-operative. Therefore, Eurolines is no longer anything to do with NX. NX instead had formed their own brand in competition with Eurolines as 'Ouibus' for European work at least, maybe the link still remains with Eurolines for Irish routes due to cross selling of tickets etc plus NX doesn't have it's own routes in to Ireland that could be re-branded as Ouibus?

I'll have to do some further digging on this one, had a quick scan in my work e-mails as I remember something on it a while back, dated 28/11/18, it shows the 890 operations as "NX/Bus Eireann". To eradicate any doubt though, I'll remove the Eurolines tag from the list on its next update, seeing as it would still be correct just listing Kavanagh.

Yes, let me know if you find anything for certain.

Hello All, i am interested in moving to the coaches, i would like some information on duties/shift patterns and any other relavant information would be greatly appreiciated. On a recent trip on the 210 service to heathrow it opened my eyes and my chats with drivers not one had a bad word to say about coach driving most were former NXWM bus drivers every one encouraged to try it out.
