Five hundred coaches from across the UK will meet in central London to demand that the government provide help and support for the struggling coach tour industry.
Transport Minister for Roads Baroness Vere has previously stated that no extra help will be given to the coach tour industry.
The operators will be protesting under the banner ‘Honk for Hope’.
Coach companies have reported a 97% drop in business. They are asking for government help to stop mass redundancies.
They want to see vehicle payment holidays, flexible furlough and support towards the cost of coaches, plus a positive message from the government to encourage people to use coach travel again.
