National Express Group plc is a UK based transportation group, operating airport, bus and rail services in the UK, the US, Canada and Australia.
The National Express brand was first created in 1972 by the state owned National Bus Company (NBC) to bring together the express bus and coach services operated by the various bus operating companies within the NBC group. The National Express network was largely a branding and management exercise, with services continuing to be operated by the various bus companies in the NBC group.
With the privatisation of the NBC in the 1980s, National Express was privatised through a management buy-out in 1988. In 1992, the National Express Group PLC was floated on the London Stock Exchange with a remit to acquire new businesses in the passenger transport market.
