How can I find out about buses and coaches in different countries in Europe? For trains it seems there are a small number of reliable sources. Is there for road transport a book equivalent to the European Rail Timetable from Thos Cook? Are there websites like bahn.de which has express coaches. I don’t even know for my native France how to access reliable timetable and route information for buses.

I always thought a bus was a double-deck vehicle (or three tiers high in the Harry Potter books) but a coach is just a single deck. But now I see that a bus journey (eg. a short hop) may be operated by a vehicle that looks like a coach, and I suppose one could even have a bus-like vehicle operating a longer distance coach service.
