Football Relax with National Express when going to watch England
ENGLAND have soared into the knockout stages of the World Cup and dreams that Gareth Southgate’s side will return home from Qatar with the gold remain intact.
A stodgy 0-0 draw with the United States aside, the Three Lions romped to the top of their group with big wins against Iran and Wales to line up a secondround clash with Senegal on Sunday.
Victory will send England into the last eight, with the lack of an obvious favourite meaning several teams fancy their chances of going all the way, and Southgate will be devoting every available second to ensuring his players are fully prepared for the challenges that await between now and Christmas.
Regardless of the outcome, England will soon return home and a new era could dawn, with the manager possibly coming to the end of his memorable tenure.
The qualification campaign for Euro 2024 begins in March and big games are coming up at Wembley which supporters will not want to miss, particularly if there is a homecoming atmosphere if England, like in 2018, make a deep run in the World Cup.
The visit of Ukraine, which promises to be an emotional occasion, and a rematch with Italy at the site of the Euro 2020 final, both take place at Wembley next year and fans can experience the action with National Express.
We were asked to review their service for September’s Nations League clash against Germany, and it was an excellent experience. We were provided with coach travel
from Bristol’s bus station to Wembley, as well as match tickets.
The overriding takeaway was the convenience and not having to worry about navigating traffic or arranging to park. Arrivals and departures were timely, meaning there was plenty of time before kick-off to find food and a pint before heading into the stadium.
After the game, there was a brief wait to allow the coach park to clear, but travelling to and from the game with National Express took the stress away that you may have with other modes of transport, meaning we were able to enjoy the most important thing: the football.
It was also much more environmentally friendly than travelling alone in a car. The coach was comfortable, the driver was welcoming and there were the facilities you would need, making it a good option for families eager to treat the kids to a memorable night beneath the Wembley arch.
National Express offers coach travel for a wide variety of sporting events, not just football, with the Six Nations and the Cheltenham Festival among the packages on sale at the moment. Find out more at www.nationalexpress.com.
