Stagecoach

Stagecoach is a leading name in public transport in areas of Britain. The area which I have had experience with is the East Kent service, when I am at university in Canterbury. Coming from London, I already have high expectations of public transport, with buses coming every 8 minutes to and from every direction. The buses are usually of a good quality, quite clean inside. There is a lot less graffiti and etching on the windows than those owned by tfl, but maybe this is more a reflection of the community than the buses. Some of the smaller routes within Canterbury serve small routes going from one housing area into the city centre. The buses do not overlap ...  Read the complete review

Stagecoach has been my local bus company in Devon for a few years now, and i have always found them to be great! The buses are always clean, warm and the staff friendly. I used to use the bus every day to go to and from college. Using my wheelchair, I sometimes get worried, about traveling, but with Stagecoach, I have never had a problem. They use special wheelchair accessible busses, which are just great! The fairs are not too expensive, and the buses are usually spot on time. The level of service is great, and I hope they continue here in North Devon for a long time to come, if the service were to stop for whatever reason, the rural ...  Read the complete review

Note: I am reviewing the Stagecoach website, not the actual service. Although the serviced is very good 10/10. I have found the Stagecoach website to be very beneficial over the years, as it has seriously helped me with my travel around my local area. Firstly, I have to say that the Stagecoach website is so easy to use, especially if you are only looking for timetables. It couldn't be easier. Just find the service number of the bus you want to travel on and voila you can instantly view the timetable for that bus for every day of the week in both directions. However, to view these timetables you do need to have Adobe Reader installed on your ...  Read the complete review

I have recently moved to a new area. My previous hometown was Arriva-dominated and the levels of service were extremely varied. In comparison, I have had little contact with Stagecoach until now so I'm approaching it with relatively 'fresh' eyes. Buses: The majority of buses I use are double-deckers so there is plenty of room: there's provision for seating / wheelchair / prams / standing individuals. There is also luggage space and bus pass machines (to save time queuing) at the entrance of the bus. (On a personal note, I think this makes the process rather impolite - I've seen people ignore drivers completely simply because of this machine.) ...  Read the complete review

Stagecoach are the primary providers of public transport in my area (East Midlands). Obviously all areas, buses, drivers, prices are different so I can only comment on my area's service. I have been using buses as my main form of transport for a few years now although hopefully this will be my last year as I have just bought a beautiful little car called Jasmine (now all I need is to pass my test!). Stagecoach run around 90% of all buses in my area and some routes have buses as often as every 5 minutes - that is a lot of buses! The bus routes cover almost all areas and almost any where you go in the area you are never more than a 3 min walk ...  Read the complete review
