www.megabus.com, low cost intercity bus travel UK

Where Megabus.com services leave from and arrive at many locations within towns and cities in the uk. When booking all you hav to do is make your reservation to and from your chosen town or city and when travelling you choose which stop to board or leave the bus, the fares are the same regardless of which stops you use on any given route. Price Seats start from as little as £1. The earlier you book, the cheaper basically though. The pricing is ...
...who make reservations early or to those who choose less popular journeys. The journeys are relatively good value for money. A booking fee of 50p is charged for all reservations. Customers can choose to have their reservation number sent to their mobile phone as a SMS text message. Text messages are charged at 10p per message/reservation. This is what I did and it was a very handy service as I wasn't flapping about at the last minute trying to print ...

Review of www.megabus.com, low cost intercity bus travel UK

I dislike train travel, finding it claustrophobic and expensive, so the coach is thje obvious alternative. Coach or bus travel is a territory more or less divided between National Express and Megabus, when it comes to booking online. Megabus is better for the following reasons. Megabus use double decker coaches which means there is always a good chance of getting a seat with plenty of space around you, and plenty of leg room. Not so with National ...
...up to the last seat. Remember that even on Megabus it is now mandatory to wear a seat belt, which means a certain amount of discomfort. Booking is much easier and quicker with Megabus if you have a Paypal account. You simply log into your Paypal account when it tells you and the whole thing is over and done with in a jiffy, whereas National Express does not offer a Paypal facility, so you have to enter all your bank details every time. Megabus ...

Review of www.megabus.com, low cost intercity bus travel UK

I have used megabus a number of times over the past 5 years but most recently in october of 2008 although the service has been fairly consistent so I would imagine it is similar now. Most often I have travelled from Edinburgh/Glasgow to London and vice versa but have also gone on shorter trips from central Scotland up to Inverness and Aberdeen and once to Newcastle. The buses are basic and leg-room can be a problem but I don't find they differ vastly ...
...reasonably clean and they stop at least once on longer journies at service stations. On two occasions the heating was broken-once it failed to work on a mid-winter overnight journey which was freezing and another trip it became boiling hot so everyone was sweating all night. Also for night trips the seats only recline a few inches at most so it can be a long and uncomfortable journey with little sleep. All the trips I have taken have arrived on time, ...

Review of www.megabus.com, low cost intercity bus travel UK

First let me tell you how I found out about this company. It was just after Christmas and I had to attend my sisters' wedding which was in Scotland, this was a long way for me, but I left it to late to book a plane ticket and the prices were too high, getting a coach never even crossed my mind and I had to drive. Anyway the round trip to Scotland and back set me back about £200 pound, this hurt my pocket as we were broke, I ended up giving my aunt ...
...missed there coach and were also broke. While giving them a ride home my aunt who is one of the nosey ones in the family, likes to know everything, earwigs on conversations and all stuff like that, you know the one I mean, we all have them. Anyway she told me about this bus company that could take you all over UK for free, now I do a lot of driving up north as my wife's family live in Wigan so I thought I would check out this so called megabus. ...

Review of www.megabus.com, low cost intercity bus travel UK

****megabus**** **Routes** The megabus offers a wide range of routes long and short. **The buses** Megabuses are blue and yellow and in my opinion the seats are all crammed in. Sometimes when you book with them you get city link buses which are much better/have more space. **Service** Most of the time the service on these buses are really bad.When i was getting a bus down to Manchester a women got on the wrong bus(going to Dundee) even though ...
...went via Glasgow so she didn't have to find her way back from Manchester!!! Another thing is they claim you can travel from £1 but you can't really as they have a booking fee,so the cheapest is really from £1.50.Ive actually found that train tickets are about the same price or sometimes even cheaper once you factor in the cost of getting to the bus. In Perth you have to get a shuttle bus to Broxden roundabout to catch your megabus but it doesn't ...

Review of www.megabus.com, low cost intercity bus travel UK

I used the megabus to go to a family wedding in Portsmouth (I live near Newcastle). By train this journey would have been too expensive to contemplate but by megabus it was just under £15 which I couldn't believe!!! I had to get the coach from Newcastle to London and then change to another coach to Portsmouth. Both journeys were long and the weather varied but the buses were both fairly new and the the journey comfortable. I would recommend taking ...
...did make a stop at Leeds (long enough to nip to the loo and buy a pasty) and the stop in London was long enough that I got to have a wander... Just booked tickets to go to Edinburgh for my and the other half and it's costing £4.50 - bargain. I would thoroughly recommend the Megabus and even though I now drive would still use them to go away for weekends etc ...

Review of www.megabus.com, low cost intercity bus travel UK

When the Megabus first arrived on the scene in Edinburgh (where I lived at the time), it initially provided a low cost and effective alternative to Stagecoach and Citylink . With journeys available for just £1 (+ 50p booking fee) between Edinburgh/Glasgow and Edinburgh/Perth, I was able to save over £5 on each journey! However, the prices didn't stay low for many months before creeping past £2, upto £3.50 per journey! This wouldn't have been an ...
...Megabus itself was effectively an old school bus, with no cooling system, or heaters available on board. Summer journeys were spent desperately trying to stay cool, whilst Winter saw condensation dripping miserably down the windows, and passengers struggling to avoid hypothermia! Quite frequently, you would be required to change buses mid-journey, sometimes waiting for upto an hour for your joining bus to arrive - and don't count on your original ...

Review of www.megabus.com, low cost intercity bus travel UK

When I found that I could go from Worthing to London for £1.5, I thought there must be some catch. I gave it a try and found the service fantastic! Megabus and National express are the two major bus operators in the UK. Although megabus is cheaper, their route is very limited and has less frequency of trips. From Worthing, megabus has only two trips the whole day! Megabus is good for any traveller looking for value for money and has enough time ...
...time match with the time schedules like a train journey. But it does save money. For instance in my journey, it costs £11.70 in National express and takes 2 and a half hours. For Megabus it's £3 (average - since you can't always book 3 week in advance) but takes a bit more than 3 hours. Considering the fact that it takes 1 and a half hours in train and costs £12, Megabus is a bargain but takes double the time(mainly due to the reason that it collects ...
