Frequently asked questions
What time is the first A8 coach?
The A8 runs 24 hours a day, so there is no first or last A8 coach — the night timetable is below.
What time is the last A8 coach?
There is no last A8 coach: the A8 runs through the night, every night it runs.
How much does the A8 coach cost?
This is a long-distance coach service, so the England £3 bus fare cap does not apply — nor do local bus tickets or passes. Coach operators set their own fares and price by demand, so booking further ahead is usually much cheaper than buying on the day.
Who runs the A8 coach?
The A8 is operated by National Express.
