National Express bans passengers after claims couple had sex on service to Birmingham

Families were left horrified after a young couple allegedly had sex and hurled abused during a ride on a National Express bus.

One mum said that it would "even shock Jeremy Kyle" after an 'aggressive' group allegedly boarded with open beer cans before shouting and swearing on Sunday September 8.

One of her children was left in floods of tears and said it had 'spoilt her holiday', prompting her to complain to the driver of the 387 service to Digbeth. But she claims he 'did nothing' despite there being children on board, reports BirminghamLive.

The passengers involved were banned from travelling with the coach company as they arrived back at the Mill Lane station, National Express said as it stressed it does not tolerate anti-social behaviour.

The mother, who did not wish to be named, had been returning home after a family holiday with her kids in Blackpool when the hellish journey unfolded.

"I think Jeremy Kyle would be shocked with the behaviour of these people," she told BirminghamLive.

"On the national Express coach back from Blackpool last night, there were scumbags with open cans of beer let on board, having sex, anti social abusive behaviour, driver did nothing, young children on board, it was an absolute disgrace.

"There was a young couple sitting near the front, the lady was performing a sex act under the blanket, the other large gang of people in 30s-40s who were allowed on board with beer cans in hand were loud, aggressive, swearing, shouting.

"My young children were intimidated by all the shouting and my one child was crying and said it had spoilt her holiday."

The coach firm thanked the passengers for raising the issue.

A spokeswoman for National Express said: "An alleged incident of anti-social behaviour on the 387 service travelling from Blackpool to Birmingham on Sunday 8th September was reported to both the driver and coach station staff on its arrival in Birmingham.

"National Express staff spoke with the passengers involved regarding the allegation and advised they would be refused any onward travel. 

"Any incidents of anti-social behaviour are not acceptable and are dealt with accordingly. We would like to thank the fellow passengers for bringing this to our attention."
