National Express running coaches to Madrid from Liverpool for Champions League final

Liverpool FC goes up against Tottenham Hotspur next month in a bid for the UEFA Champions League title and thousands of fans are busy organising tickets for the big match.

But, with the game in Madrid, many will be struggling with travel plans too.

National Express has launched a brand new ‘on demand’ travel service called NEON, which will be running dedicated services to Madrid for the Champions League final.

Football fans can travel by executive coach from either Liverpool or London direct to the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium with the new service.

John Boughton, commercial director at the National Express, said: “Those fans lucky enough to have secured a ticket are facing an expensive game with the price of flights and accommodation in Madrid rocketing in the last week.

“We’re offering an option that means there's no need to worry about expensive accommodation as we take you back on the same day as the game.

“Plus, our vehicles are the highest spec with standard features including air conditioning and on-board toilets; and we’ll ensure there’s plenty of rest breaks along the way.”

The services are set to depart in the early morning of Friday, May 31, to arrive in Madrid for lunchtime the following day  - allowing fans plenty of time to explore the city before kick-off at 8pm.
