The mighty US coach brand came to the UK in 2009 when First Group (one of the other big 5 bus groups in the UK) who own Greyhound in the US, launched in the UK between Portsmouth and Southampton, and London.

It’s great watching Greyhound try out all sorts of new ideas and thinking laterally about the product. They recognise the Island as a big potential market for travel up to the smoke. We met up with Alex Warner, Greyhound’s UK boss before I headed for the snow a couple of weeks ago, discussing how we could work together. Ventnor to Victoria is the idea - buy a through ticket from anywhere on the Island to London. We’re getting back together again next week to tie up some details - good news for Islanders and ‘integrated transport’…and his coaches look stunning!
