can someone please tell me when the first seeticket coach leaves Sunday night back to Londn? my flight was changed to 11 am, if I take my original one at 5:30 am I will miss the flight…

Similar, need to get to Leeds earlier than the aforementioned 13:30 coach. Can I nab an earlier one and if so how does that work? Any ideas when they run?

Perhaps a rogue thread to pick this up in, but does anyone have experience of getting the National Express coach from Stratford? How does it compare to Victoria?

Hi anyone who's travelled coaches before, are there plugs or uses on board to charge phones? Thanks 

 

They contract the coaches out to local coach companies who use their own vehicles, so it depends on what those operators have in their fleet. You might be lucky but I wouldn't bank on it. The coach I took from the O2 last year didn't have power points. You'd probably have more luck on a National Express coach, but even they contract out sometimes.

Getting jealous of all these reports of people arriving when some of us poor sods have got to wait almost 24 hours until even getting on a coach! 

 

If anyone's interested in a return journey swap let me know - my boyfriend and I have been allocated a 3pm return to Birmingham on Monday but would love to get home earlier if anyone wants a lie-in or has sorted an alternative route back. We actually live in Liverpool, so anywhere North West would be amazing!

See you all in the field soon(-ish)!

I am always fascinated when you see these old threads resurrected and you see questions/situations like above with no responses and wonder, ‘what happened, how did they get sorted?’………..

 

is it just me being weird. Probs…

Hi we travelled coach this year and no charging ports and bus air con was broke so it was boiling as heating on and wouldn't turn off or down the whole journey from Leeds ! 🫣🤣

On the way home to Manchester this year driver deliberately went the wrong way towards Cardiff so that he could mount some hours up, then claim he was going to bust his maximum mileage and refused to go any further than Sandbach. The company had to send out relief driver. 

I'm not driving expert but once on the M5 I don't get effing lost on the way to the M6. It's pretty bloody simple. 

I could have murdered him with my bare hands. But I was too weak with exhaustion. 

We've had some brilliantly quick journeys, good drivers and good coaches. And some shockers driving absolute sheds! 

Pot luck!

Still safer and better getting the coach but the simultaneous equation of Coach vs Car for Glastonbury

Car TO Glastonbury > Coach To Glastonbury   &&  Coach Home > Having to drive home FROM Glastonbury

We had a driver that took us down a dead end road , fortunately my old school was down that road and I directed us to go in there and use the bus arrival area so we could do an about turn and come out again … cheers on the bus as if we’d gone further it would have delayed us a fair bit … was doing some back seat driving as I shouted down the bus that we were going wrong . Did seem that most of the people on the bus weren’t from the area though . Should be pretty simple from Taunton
