What’s new in Coach Stop

Version 5.5.3

Christmas Markets now appears in the Destinations menu before the season, with a clearly labelled preview. Fixed missing seasonal submenu entry.
Gold announcements on the home tiles.

Version 5.3

Animated home tile announcements and automatic seasonal Christmas Markets messaging.

Version 5.2

Fixed Destinations submenu navigation so choosing Attractions, Sporting Venues, Universities or Airports opens the intended category without returning home.
Android Back navigation now returns to previous app screens where supported.

Version 5.1

Now includes seasonal Christmas Markets (10 November–25 December), retaining market records year-round, plus Airports in Destinations, with a searchable UK airport directory, including regional airports and coach collection, drop-off and waiting information where available.
Airport records distinguish published coach guidance from research leads, and do not offer coach-specific navigation until GPS locations are verified.
Added a searchable Universities & Campuses directory, including separate sports sites.
Renamed Low Bridges to Route Planner, retaining vehicle dimension and on-route / near-route restriction checks.
Expanded UK services directory retained with clear map-pin verification status.

Expanded the services directory from 29 to 95 named motorway and major A-road service areas across Great Britain.
Added operator and region filters/search coverage. Locations without verified coordinates remain searchable and have directions links, but are not shown as map pins or route-nearby results until their map references are checked.
Unverified coach parking and facility details are clearly labelled rather than assumed.
Added Peterborough Extra (A1(M) J17) and Cambridge Extra (A14 J24/J24A) to the services directory, with operator links, postcodes and facility information.
Motorway Services and Driver Benefits are accessible from Find a Stop.
Route Check continues to show relevant motorway services in journey order, with a direct link to the full directory.
Added a simple return link from the services directory to Coach Stops.

Version 4.1

Added a UK motorway services directory with search, map, operator, road, junction and facilities information.
Added coach-driver reward scheme information and official links for Welcome Break, Moto, Roadchef, Westmorland and Extra.
Route checks can now show nearby motorway services in journey order, separately from low-bridge and vehicle-restriction warnings.

Version 3.9

New Ice Hockey section within Sporting Venues, with UK Elite League and NIHL National clubs and their home arenas.
Search and filter ice hockey venues by town, county, team or arena, with map pins and venue details.

Version 3.8

Quicker opening: account checks now run together instead of waiting one after another.
Previously saved stop listings appear immediately while the latest information refreshes in the background.
Notifications and phone-notification checks wait until you open the relevant screen.
Shorter opening animation.

Version 3.7

Attractions, rail replacement data and administrator review lists load when you open those sections, rather than during every app launch.

Version 3.6

Clear, easy-to-find Add buttons directly beneath the maps for sharing coach stops, attractions and stadiums.
Add buttons use Coach Stop’s gold-and-midnight-blue theme and open the correct submission form.

Version 3.5

Separate stadium views by football and rugby competition.

Version 3.4

Find stadiums in their own Attractions tab.

Version 3.3

More pronounced flowing ribbons and a new opening screen.
Map views keep their position and the account shortcut takes you to the right place.

Route Planner

Check your coach’s actual height and follow roadside signs. Use this lookup to plan before setting off. Records may be incomplete or out of date, and a missing pin does not mean the road is clear.

Town or area

Filter by road name or number

Check a route

For approved accounts. Enter two full UK postcodes, the coach’s actual height, width, length and weights. A postcode may resolve to the centre of an area, so check both ends of the route on the map.

Uses HERE’s fast truck routing profile, which prefers higher-priority roads where practical. It considers the height, width, length and weights entered. Smaller roads may still be needed; truck restrictions may differ from coach rules. This is a planning aid, not a guarantee of a suitable route.

Your postcodes, coach height, width, length and weights are sent to HERE to run the check. See the HERE privacy policy.

Start postcode Destination postcode Coach height in metres Coach width in metres Coach length in metres Current coach weight in tonnes Maximum permitted weight in tonnes

Current weight includes passengers and luggage. Maximum permitted weight is the fully laden limit on the vehicle plate. Use verified values, including any trailer. Use the correct overall width for your vehicle. Include any trailer in the overall length. Axle weight is not checked.
