Megabus

I have travelled from Bournemouth to London several times on the 'MegaBus' and Megatrain' services, and they are brilliant. Always on time and clean. Much cheaper tickets than thetrainline.com! The Megatrain service is provided by southwest trains and will cost you double if you book through a rail travel site. I really think Megabus is a brilliant idea, tickets to London from Bournemouth are usually between £8 and £12, which is loads cheaper than tickets offered elsewhere. It's nice to think that the rest of Britain can be more accessible, espeically as a Northerner stuck down in Bournemouth and missing home! I would certainly consider using the service to ...  Read the complete review

Megabus.com is a very straightforward online bus service site that allows you to book journeys in between the larger cities and towns of the UK at prices many times cheaper than it would cost you to travel by either national express or national rail. For example, you can pick up a single ticket from Newcastle to London for just £16, plus a fifty pence booking fee. The downside of the service is that they only run one bus service per day, which may leave from your desired location anywhere between 8am and mid afternoon. Also, if you are hoping to travel to or from a smaller town its likely that you may need to take connections to and from the megabus pickup ...  Read the complete review

Megabus is the company who are ever increasing with their services thanks to the offer of exceptionally cheap travel to a variety of uk destinations. So what is all the fuss about? I have used Megabus on a couple of occassions now with one trip to Aberdeen from Glasgow and one from Glasgow to Birmingham (Aberdeen trip with a return journey also). I found the prices being paid for both trips to be exceptional and when compared to other bus companies I did wonder what I was letting myself in for but decided I would never know unless I gave them a shot. The buses both left from Glasgow Buchanan Bus Station and were excellent buses with the quality on offer ...  Read the complete review

Despite the raw bums and the lack of leg room, Megabus really is the budget way to travel across the UK. I have had some problems with Megabus in the past (we had to change a bus THREE times during a 12 hour journey - yes, I'm convinced it was a nightmare - you can read it here if you want! [The first coach we were on started making weird sounds and it was replaced just outside Cumbria after a 30 minute wait and a further drive. On arriving to the next bus we were then squeezed from an original double deck bus to a single deck bus - which, as you can imagine, was a very tight squeeze. About two hours into the new journey on the new bus the ...  Read the complete review

I travelled from Chester to London on a megabus for approximately £8 which in terms of value for money is spot on. The driver to begin with was pleasant and patient despite having to wait around for several people saying lengthy goodbyes. The seats were standard coach seats, and the toilet was in a good state, which makes a change from most forms of public transport toilets. The driving was steady until a stop at the motorway services around 2 hours in. At this point, the drivers switched over to a miserable, short tempered driver who at one point drove off from a passenger who had been a few minutes late returning from within the services! He did then ...  Read the complete review
