context_page_description: New Adventure Travel is a bus and coach company in South Wales. It is a subsidiary of ComfortDelGro.
context_section_description: Established in 2008 with four buses, New Adventure Travel has now grown to have over 100 buses and coaches in its fleet from May 2020 - with most buses being second-hand from London.
  New Adventure Travel purchased Humphrey's Coaches of Pontypridd in 2011, and has since purchased the businesses of VR Travel of Merthyr Tydfil in October 2013 and Select Local Bus of Neath in 2015.
  In February 2018 the business was purchased by ComfortDelGro. Adam Keen of Damory Coaches was appointed Managing Director of New Adventure Travel.
  It was confirmed in late 2019 that the business is being progressively rebranded to AdventureTravel - with the coaching side of the business being rebranded to AdventureCoachlines.
  In May 2020, NAT Group permanently ceased all operational work in mainland Europe due to COVID-19 pandemic, and is now focusing on its United Kingdom bus and coach services.
