Coach tickets

[THEBOILERMAN]

Have they changed the maximum no of coach tickets you can get in 1 purchase from 4 to 6?

Not in recent years, it's been 6 for at least 10 years.

Has anyone had experience of 1 from their group not being to make the coach and taking their ticket and just meeting them there??

Bus drivers I don’t think have any way of seeing what the groups are so won’t just hand the ticket over to someone else … have done bus twice and both times they were fairly strict on checking the I’d matched . People have said that they give out the tickets at box office later but I’d not be taking that risk . If someone knows they can’t make the bus at this stage they should be trying for general sale only

Yeah, definitely wouldn't expect the driver to hand over the missing ticket - drivers vary so there might be one or two out there that are prepared to do it, but generally speaking if the person isn't there, they'll not hand out the ticket.

 

They instead should hand it in to the box office at Gate A, as part of their paperwork / debrief - but there's a definite risk in relying on that happening and it being made available for collection. Too many links in that chain where something could go askew for my taste. As the terms and conditions (repeatedly) say that the ticket is only valid if travelling on the service, they'd be under no obligation to go out of their way to help.
