    Ember: Electric coach service

    I think with Ember, the driver changes your ticket to the service you are getting on. I see plenty of people getting on the 900 with Megabus tickets, not sure how flexible they are.

    TfW Class 67+Mk4 sets: trip planning/experiences, diagram updates etc

    Saturday service not on the list for the dining. Not the end of the world as it was only £8 more to go first.

    Ember: Electric coach service

    Might be a wee bit cheaper booking on Megabus.com, not sure how strict drivers are with getting on a specific service.

    Flexible return Geneva airport to Geneva Cornavin

    Yes, I don't remember return tickets from Geneva. A lot of Europe is one way tickets only.

    Flixbus through the channel tunnel

    I took Flixbus from Paris to London and it went on the Eurotunnel rather than Ferry. I am sure the timetable said Ferry.

    Accommodation suggestions and reviews

    I wonder what price these really expensive Premier Inns started at when the rooms first went on sale. And who pays £300 a night for a Travelodge or Premier Inn. My record is £160 for one night.

    National Express Coaches Discussion

    To be fair thats the price if booked a few weeks in advance or more. 1787234296 They certainly tend to be more popular than the day services which take longer and east up a whole day of travel. The overnighters do have the advantage of getting to London early doors, just like the sleeper.

    National Express Coaches Discussion

    The prices are high on NX and Flix on the Scottish services to England too. I think the pricing model has changed. The coach used to be the last minute option, not anymore.

    To reserve or not to reserve? (seats)

    Quite often on Avanti I will just go to unreserved coaches, went to G the other week and it was empty. I remember on some operators they bunch the reservations together or you will be sitting next to someone while the rest of the coach will be empty. I have notice more people taking what times...

    Are Paper Bus Timetables still in your area?

    Scotland is a bit of printed timetable desert. I have noticed Citylink have stopped printing timetables, none in Buchanan Bus Station apart from information leaflet. McGills East Scotland timetables are often found at Stirling Bus Station. Never found McGills West timetables, apparently on the...

    Flixbus Discussion

    I took NX from Liverpool to Birmingham and went via Nantwich and Hanley. Nice to take an Intercity on an A road. I always thought they tried to keep to Motorways if possible. I took Flixbus from Leeds to Manchester Airport and was hoping it would go down the Eastern side of the M60 but no, it...
