When is National Coach Week
The fourth National Coach Week takes place from 12-18 May 2025.
What is National Coach Week?
National Coach Week showcases the vital role that coaches make in getting people to their destinations, supporting businesses and boosting growth.
The industry employs approximately 45,000 people nationwide, and coach travel plays an irreplaceable role in communities across the UK and in the wider economy.
National Coach Week is organised by the RHA.
What will National Coach Week involve in 2025?
It’s an opportunity to showcase the vital role our industry does supporting tourism, leisure and other sectors.
It aims to secure buy-in from politicians to promote the role of coaches in public transport and the wider economy and establish the different needs of the coach industry to the bus industry and garner support for key policy priorities.
There will be events in each of the four nations of the UK – and also a parliamentary roundtable bringing ministers, stakeholders and operators together.
Why National Coach Week?
National Coach Week is a celebration of an industry that plays a huge role in all our lives but is all too often taken for granted. Every day coaches get more than half a million school and college students to their place of education. When trains don’t run, or aircraft are diverted, coaches step in to bridge the gaps and get people to their destinations.
The RHA is proud of its values which include ‘collaborative’ and ‘trusted partner’. It’s in this spirit that the RHA is keen to bring the industry together and promote the sector as a vital, aspirational, and forward-looking sector which supports economic growth.
