Advantages: Cheap! Disadvantages: Not right into London
Whilst driving home from work one evening, I heard an advert on my local radio station for easybus.co.uk. It offered bus fares to North London from Milton Keynes for 1 each way. As I was due to meet an old school friend in London in a few weeks time, I thought Id look into it, as the return train fare including Underground is normally about 15.
The Services
Before you get all excited about cheap fares all around the country, at the moment ... ...and Luton Airport and Hendon, with no stops on route, but if all goes well they do have plans to expand.
The Site
The home page of www.easybus.co.uk looks very familiar with the now infamous orange logo. It is a very simple home page, with places to enter your journey requirements and various other links/tabs. At the bottom there are links to all the other Easy websites did you know that there is an Easypizza and even an Easycruise?

Advantages: Accessible; frequent buses; good price Disadvantages: Like any other "non-bus-lane" bus, subject to traffic and roadworks
I've been using the Greenline (now Easybus service) for four years now, ever since I started flying back and forth from London with Easyjet. Easyjet is possibly the cheapest airline available for many destinations but what is not always so "Easy" is the getting to and from London Luton airport, its base - you cannot just hop on the tube as you do when travelling to Heathrow.
I am not aware of other buses that go to Luton - at the time, I hadn't ... ...option of Easybus/Greenline with its Easyjet discount was readily available, with plenty of information on their website.
The bus route I always take goes from London Victoria station to London Luton airport and, of course, in the other direction. Its bus stand at Victoria is hard to miss, and is situated a short walk from Victoria Underground and train station, and very close to Victoria Coach station, so transport to the bus stop to begin with ...

Advantages: cheaper than the train Disadvantages: poor refund policy and customer service
Had a similiar experience with a delayed easyjet flight! My first experience with easybus was great, but after this one I wouldn't use the service again, even if it is slightly more convenient & cost-effective than the train!
Our EasyJet flight was delayed for 2 hours & we landed at midnight, so after going through customs etc it was technically the next day - found out that no credit or refund will be issued as we landed "the next day" our tickets ... ...and EasyBus requires you enter your flight number in, it's shocking that they would blatantly take money without providing the service paid for even if it's their company's fault that we were late!
Don't use EasyBus - it may seem cheaper but the stress and inconvenience it causes isn't worth the savings. ...

Advantages: Quick, easy and cheap Disadvantages: Its a bit too orange
When going on a break to London we had flights booked to Luton airport. Had sen advertisements for the bus service and looked them up on their website www.easybus.co.uk.
The website was easy to navigate and the price came up as 4 each way (cheaper than the bus and train) If we had booked sooner prices started at 1 each way.
On arrival at the airport we went to the bus station and you couldn't miss the bright orange mini bus next to its bright ... ...fitted with seatbelts. Some passengers hadn't pre-booked and paind the driver on arrival 6. However pre-bookings get priority and these walk up pasenger did get "bumped off" when a pre-booked family of 5 turned up. We departed on time, it was a direct service and comfortableservice which dropped you off at Baker Street tube station. Perfect for getting to anywhere else in London. We knew that the pick up point was different and the driver pointed ...

Advantages: None Disadvantages: Delayed flight means your money is gone
My EASYJET flight from Basel to Luton was delayed for over 2 hours so I missed the 12:00 bus from Luton to Baker str. which I had bought 2 tickets online .I went to Easybus desk around 13:30 and was told that all busses were full and the next available bus was at 15:10 . I said I that I could not wait 1 hour 40 minutes with a 6 month old baby and asked for my money back - since the fault was totaly Easyjet's and Easygroup's ....
The staff rudely ... ...held responsible for Easyjet delays since Easybus was a totally different operation !! They said I could go to Easyjet and ask for a refund , which I did ...
The ''same way trained'' staff of Easyjet indicated that Easyjet had nothing to do with Easybus and said that they could not be held liable if Easybus could not offer me seats on a reasonably timed bus .
Let me indicate that I am not the least bothered by the 2 hour delay of easyjet;it could ...

Advantages: Cheap Disadvantages: Disorganised, slow, don't get time slot that you book, chaotic, not direct to Central London
Okay, I used to like EasyBus, but we just had a TERRIBLE experience trying to get back from Luton Airport.
Don't know if this is a recent thing, or they only do this late at night, but Easy Bus has now combined their services with Green Line & Terravision, meaning that DESPITE the fact we booked & paid with them, there is now only one bus servicing all 3. We had booked for the 12:40am from Luton to Victoria. Number one, the screens were wrong in ... ...only when I went to investigate that I found out that the Green Line coach was the one we actually needed to take, since the EasyBus I knew from before wasn't going to ever arrive. Even though we had booked for a certain time, we were NOT guaranteed a seat on the coach, which only ran twice an hour, despite the EasyBus bookings being THREE times an hour!! We had to queue and just wait until there was space. Additionally, the service was not direct ...

Quick review of easybus.co.uk
i recently made a trip with easybus from fulham broadway to gatwick airport. the driver was very polite and professional, (and very good looking by the way, i think he said his name was david!, mmmmm) nice shades hahahahaha. i found the whole experience very calming, he played relaxing music, he drove safely but expertly and gave a wonderful little pre-trip speech. i will definately use this service more often. WELL DONE EASYBUS for an excellant value for money service. Miranda Ogilvy. ...
