National Express have strict rules about what can and cannot be brought onto their buses. When it comes to luggage, passengers must adhere to their size and weight guidelines as there is limited space available on the bus and in the hold. It's possible to bring one small soft bag as hand luggage, such as a backpack or handbag, and any hard hand luggage cases or briefcases must be stored in the hold. Passengers can bring two medium suitcases with a combined weight of 20 kg, or one large suitcase that can weigh up to 20 kg. Unfortunately, regular bikes are not allowed on National Express buses, but folding bikes are permitted as part of the luggage allowance, or can be added as extra baggage for a fee. Guide or assistance dogs are welcome on board, but regular pets or animals are not allowed to board the buses. Disabled passengers can board at any time, but wheelchair users are advised to call ahead 36 hours before traveling if possible. This is so that National Express can confirm there is enough space on the bus for each passenger, and that their wheelchair doesn't exceed the weight and size requirements. National Express buses all have wheelchair lifts to help disabled passengers on and off the bus.
