The Megabus is a brilliant cheap way to travel to London and major cities in Britain. The prices start at one pound a seat per journey plus a booking fee of 50p. You have to book on the internet and then either print off your tickets or get them text to your mobile for an extra charge. Then you just show the ticket number to the driver at the pick up and off you go. I first started using the Megabus at university, it is very popular with students and there are often stops outside major universities. The coaches are very comfortable, especially compared to the old buses they used to have a few years ago which we not that nice. The coaches are the same as any normal coach line now. The Megabus has been really successful so other operators like National Express have been forced to drop their prices to compete. The Megabus takes about the same time as other coach lines but tends to pick up and drop off in different locations. There is about a ten minute walk between the Megabus stop in Bristol and the main bus station so don't go to the wrong one like i did once. All the buses drop off at victoria bus station. This is a great budget way to travel to London. The stupid thing is that it can cost more to get a London bus one stop than it costs to get from Manchester to London, its mad. The key is to book early to get it cheaper.

Summary: great budget travelling, make sure you book early
