Investor Event

National Express Group plc is today hosting an Analyst & Investor visit to Madrid, Spain. The purpose of the event, which will be held over today and tomorrow, is to provide analysts and investors with a greater understanding of the strengths and capabilities of each of the National Express Group divisions, focusing in particular on the Spanish business, Alsa, and to provide detail on the Group's new growth strategy that was outlined at the time of the preliminary results.

Presentations will be made by the local Alsa management team and by the National Express Group Divisional Heads.

No new material information will be disclosed, nor will there be any additional statement on current trading further to the Group's Full Year results announcement on 24 February 2011.

Dean Finch, Group Chief Executive, said: "We are very pleased to welcome our analysts and investors on this visit to our operations in Spain. We believe this will enable them to see first hand the strength and scale of our operations and the strength of our management team across the Group. As our 2010 results demonstrated, National Express now has a much firmer financial footing. We have delivered over 30% increase in shareholder returns since the rights issue of November 2009 and restored the dividend. And we are determined to continue to grow the business to deliver further value for customers and shareholders alike."

The presentations will be available on the National Express Group website (www.nationalexpressgroup.com) today and a webcast of the visit will be available on the Group website on Friday.
