Carriage of luggage and bikes

With National Express you can carry two suitcases - weighing up to 20kg each - plus one small piece of hand luggage per person, which you can store onto overhead racks or under the passenger's seat. The coach driver will load and unload customers’ luggage but customers are responsible for seeing their own luggage onto and off the coach on which they are travelling.  Note, over this 20 kg allowance and steep excess luggage, extra charges apply.

Of course you can take a bike but... In a bike bag as carry-on luggage, semi-dismantled, free of charge. You can take a bicycle with you as carry-on luggage free of charge on any coach, if you put it in a zip-up 'bike bag', with wheels and pedals removed and handlebars turned.
