Fair's Fare!

Advantages: Friendly, great range of journeys and HECK - so CHEAP!!
Disadvantages: Maybe a little uncomfy for less dedicated bargain hunters. Must be booked online.

Having spent my three years of university at the quintessential Place In The Middle Of Nowhere (the locals call it Aberystwyth) and all my holidays back at home separated from my friends by the whole Irish sea, I'm happy to have finally settled (for the time being, at least) in the South east of England. At least I'm on the same landmass as everyone else now. At least there's an airport half an hour away, and decent rail links to everywhere I could ...
...organising a little trip to London to visit my very best friend, see a gig and just generally enjoy a wander round the city, I blithely thought would be a piece of cake. That is, until I got to looking up train prices. You want HOW much?! But it's only up the road! I'm not trying to buy the train, just a seat on it for one short hour!

Jeezy creezy, people – it's gotten expensive to travel these days. Eco-loving non-driver that I am, ... more

Prison On Wheels

Advantages: cheap fare, eventually gets to destination
Disadvantages: uncomfortable, usually late

So, I am always looking for ways to save money. My sister lives down in Manchester and I usually take the car when I visit but the money it was costing in petrol was just getting too ridiculous. I decided to start looking for alternative means of transport so I looked up train fares which were ok but still not the cheapest and flights were a lot so then I thought about coaches. I had passed the megabus while driving up before and heard many people ...
...this. I went on the website 3 days before I was due to leave and surprisingly enough I still got what I would consider a cheap ticket. It cost £24 for a return to Manchester and back up to Scotland. The website is easy enough to use you pick your starting point and where you want to go, choose the dates and passengers. They travel to basically every city in the UK, all major cities like London, Glasgow, Manchester, Liverpool and so on. I went to ...

Mega mega mega bus

Advantages: cheap, good range of destinations
Disadvantages: not for those with long legs, only bookable on the internet

I like weekends away visiting my friends. It really cheers me up. The only problem is I do not drive (I am not allowed to as I am partially sighted) and have to rely on public transport. I have tried National Express coaches and trains and have had very mixed results. One thing I do find that unless you book about three months in advance (especially with the trains) traveling within Britain via public transport can be quite expensive. On my last ...
...company www.megabus.com. This is a subsidiary of Stagecoach and offers dirt-cheap intercity coach travel As the name suggests they are an internet company and that is the only way you can book the travel which may be a hindrance for those who do not have internet access or credit or debit cards. The brilliant thing about them is that they offer travel from as little as £1 single to a number of destinations including London, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Manchester, ...

An ill-fated journey!!!!

Advantages: cheap and cheerful
Disadvantages: I definitely think they are haunted

Megabus is a fantastic bus service. I was £4 return to go to Glasgow and back for a day trip shopping. Its simple to book, although you do have to book online. My friend came along with us on the day of the trip but didnt have a ticket and they let him on by just paying the bus driver on site at no extra cost. This was completely unexpected. With the cheap deals I expected the bus to be overcrowded but it wasnt. Even though there is not much leg ...
...and back we managed to take two seats each. The toilet did leave a lot to be desired but then i never seen a clean bus toilet!!!!!!!!And what do you expect for £2 each way. The bus to Glasgow dropped us almost in the centre of town. Less than a five minute walk away from the St Enoch Centre. It was perfect and was just in time for the shops opening at 9am It is a long journey about 3.15 hours and this would have only been 2.15 in the car but wih ...

The Wheels On The Bus Go Round And Round!

Advantages: Very Very Cheap!
Disadvantages: Not The Most Comfortable Thing

If you are thinking about travelling there seems to be some pretty good deals around, well at least if you believe the posters anyway. According to the posters London to Sheffield return by Midland Mainline train will cost you just £10, but wait before you all get yourselves too excited I suggest that you get out your magnifying glasses and read the tiny terms and conditions at the bottom (not easy I know when the poster is ten feet above the ground). ...
...of a Midland Mainline return train ticket to London was in reality £44. To get this special offer you needed to meet some pretty tight criteria, book several days in advance, travel off peak Monday to Thursday etc. All very well but no good for me because I was on a tight schedule and not flexible. I had resigned myself to having to part with £33 more than my original budget but then a friend of mine said "Have you thought about going by Megabus?" ...

Megabus? It certainly is...

Advantages: Cheap, reliable, no frills travel
Disadvantages: Slightly longer journey time than train - no cancellations or refunds

Well firstly Megabus are a product of Stagecoach, an excellent bus service which runs locally in my area. Megabus is the budget end of the market (which suits me fine being a not-exactly-wealthy student), however this does not by any means in my opinion detract from the service overall. I have myself used them approximately 5 or 6 times as an excellent means of travelling from the south west of England to London - and this shall be the route and ...
...journey. BOOKING Well the journey on a megabus differs slightly from that of a normal stagecoach bus. For one, you must book either online or by phone prior to travel. The phone booking is an extremely recent addition to the company and a welcome one in my opinion. Very useful for when your computer or ISP aren't playing the game! Lines are open from 8am to 9pm seven days a week - allowing excellent access, as well as having a thorough and easy ...
