    Kent Coast loop... best ticket option

    I've got a ENCTS so the buses are covered. I didn't realise the actual rounders themselves had stopped, very unfortunate. I'm planning on arriving in London the day before as my brothers attending the Disney100 event while im in Kent so we're stopping at the Premier Inn by Stratford...

    Megabus Discussion

    To be fair, some stops where they're manned by Megabus staff are better at getting replacement coaches organised (like at the Birmingham stop) than where there's no Megabus staff). In any event, I thought that the contractor would have to let Megabus control know so arrangements could be made

    Ah, so had Trent used ordinary singles, or even deckers, at the time, then they'd have been OK. Fair enough, thanks for clarifying

    As it's a coach route, is the Red Arrow even allowed to stop on city centre streets apart from Parliament Street? I'm sure that there was a thing ages ago when Club Class ran and it could only stop at Broadmarsh because it was a coach (I had a Club Class coach drop on a regular TB service out of...

    How a new, re-nationalized railway could be created and how existing TOCs could be integrated.
