About EuropeBus.co.uk
EuropeBus.co.uk is an independent, personal website providing information about coach and bus travel in the UK and across Europe. It is not a travel agency or transport operator.
The aim of this website is to provide practical information based on experience and publicly available sources. While we try to keep the information up to date, coach timetables, routes and fares can change frequently. Always check details directly with the relevant operator before travelling.

Your privacy is important. This page explains what information may be collected when you use EuropeBus.co.uk and how it is used.
We do not sell your personal information to third parties.
If you contact us by email, your message may be stored so we can reply. We do not share your details unless it is necessary to help resolve an issue you have raised (for example, with a transport operator), and only where appropriate.
