The journey from London to Frankfurt by Eurolines

Each day Eurolines has up to 2 coach services to and from Frankfurt.  Transport from London to Frankfurt is carried out with traditional Eurolines’ vehicles. All Eurolines’ coaches have on-board toilet and washroom facilities, reclining seats and air-conditioning as standard. Folding bikes are accepted.  Sometimes the coach that picks you up from your departure point has only the final destination displayed on the front windscreen. This is because the majority of Eurolines routes include multiple stops and it would be impractical to display every stop on the front windscreen. Also, you may have booked a journey which requires a change of coach. In both examples, please ask the driver to confirm that his/her coach is going to the destination stated on your ticket.  Eurolines put the safety and comfort of passengers in the first place, so the vehicles are equipped with a large number of safeguards.
