Megabus 5 of 5 Ciao Users found the following review helpful
Rating from lblair 5 Stars ()

Advantages Cheapness; friendliness of staff; good transport; not too packed

Disadvantages Can't too book far ahead; variance of buses (older ones didn't look as nice)

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 a book or something to keep you occupied. We 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

    I keep wanting to try Megabus, but their stop is over the other side of town to me and would require a fairly long bus journey to get there. I tend to book train tickets months in advance, as that cuts the cost down a lot and the time saved makes up the rest.
