The New Millennium Experience Company working with the travel industry, including rail and coach operators, aims to deliver packages combining travel and Dome entry, which will give visitors value for money and encourage all those who wish to visit the Dome to do so. Following the company's announcement of ticket prices on 18 March, the travel industry has already confirmed a range of attractive and competitive packages. For example, National Express has announced return coach travel and entry to the Dome for just £29.99 from anywhere in England, Scotland or Wales.
